At this point, you likely already have a Part 107 drone license (which is required to fly drones commercially). But how do you actually make money with it? “The Drone Business Blueprint” can help you make money off your drone.

“The Drone Business Blueprint” is the latest course from UAV Coach, which first came onto the scene with its Drone Pilot Ground School Part 107 test prep course. Perhaps not coincidentally, Drone Girl considers the UAV Coach course one of the best drone pilot’s license courses (and it’s the one The Drone Girl herself used to pass the Part 107 test).

The Drone Business Blueprint course costs $418 (but is currently on sale for $199 in what’s a pretty killer introductory offer).

Still, $200 isn’t cheap. Alas, It seems you have to spend money just for the potential to make money. So is it worth it? Here’s a deep dive into what to expect when you enroll in The Drone Business Blueprint, and our take on whether it’s worth it:

What you get with The Drone Business Blueprint

The Drone Business Blueprint is a detailed, step-by-step guide covering important areas like niche development, marketing strategies, and financial management. Each module includes practical tools like templates and worksheets, which can help you take what you learn and apply it to your own business.

Among the top modules that separate this drone business course from any other business course is the emphasis on finding your niche. Most pilots find more success when they hone in on just real estate, just weddings, or just mapping — rather than trying to do it all. This course provides concrete exercises and planning frameworks to help you figure out where you fit in the industry.

Drone entrepreneur Eno Umoh leads the course. His background in running drone businesses includes teaching over 18,000 students, establishing a non-profit, and being the co-founder of Global Air U. I appreciate how he shared his own, practical real-world advice.

For example, Umoh shares a story of when he was working on service-based jobs in the field, he didn’t have the time to create a ton of marketing-based content on social media. So, he shares tips and strategies on best practices to simplify those processes. 

The course also strongly embraces the present with its acknowledgment of AI integration. Whether or not you like what AI has done to today’s job market, AI integration is inescapable these days, and that includes the drone industry. Whether it’s automating tasks or analyzing data, the course shows you how to integrate AI into your business to gain a competitive edge.

Our review of the new Drone Business Blueprint course

For better or for worse, the new Drone Business Blueprint course is more of an overview rather than a deep dive into each topic. (Most of the lesson videos are around 10 minutes long). If you already know your primary goal is, say, learning financial management, you might be better with a course teaching that (whether or not it’s drone-specific). But for pilots who love drones and aren’t sure where to get started? Well, this is a good place to get started.

As a former educator, I value courses that go beyond simple video lecture style.  The Drone Business Blueprint course incorporates interactive learning throughout. The downloadable templates and real-time feedback make the course feel like a hands-on workshop rather than just another online class. It allows you to put your learning into practice right away.

The course includes approximately 10 hours of learning content. It’s also refreshingly honest. It doesn’t promise overnight success, but it gives you the tools and guidance to make real progress if you’re willing to put in the effort.

While the course covers many valuable skills that are transferable to any business, such as the ABC sales funnel, lead magnets, and creating a business plan, what sets it apart from standard business courses is its deep understanding of the drone industry.

For example, lessons on pricing your drone services and navigating the specific insurance and legal considerations unique to the drone business make this course highly relevant for aspiring drone entrepreneurs. These industry-specific insights provide a significant advantage over general business courses.

Who should take this course?

If you’re serious about turning your drone skills into a profitable business but feel like you need that extra push or guidance, The Drone Business Blueprint could be a smart investment. 

The drone industry is full of potential, offering opportunities for flexible work and the chance to be your own boss. However, starting a drone business isn’t easy—there are skills to master, legal hurdles to clear, and significant costs like equipment and insurance. Finding your niche can also feel overwhelming. 

Whether you’re struggling to define your niche in the drone industry or need help developing a sustainable business plan, this course offers practical steps to get you on track. 

However, if you’re already an experienced entrepreneur or looking for highly specialized, advanced content in any one of these areas, this course might not be for you. It’s more suited for those who need a solid foundation and practical guidance to get their drone business off the ground.

Normally, the course costs $418 for lifetime access. However, the course is currently on sale for $119. Additionally, as part of the introductory offer, you will receive UAV Coach’s Drone Pilot Skill Builder course free if you purchase before October 3rd.
