“I don’t even have a business background, but I’ve always wanted to start my own photography business”
We open thousands of emails from photographers every single day.
And we can’t tell you how many of them tell us they just CAN’T WAIT to start their own business…
But they have no idea where to even start.
Listen…
When it comes to striking out on your own - going against the odds - and starting your VERY OWN photography business… there are a thousand and one thoughts in your mind:
- How will I make money… do I need a website? A studio?
- How much do I charge?
- Do I need to specialize?
- Equipment… oh my gosh… do I need to rush out and spend thousands on a new camera?
But most importantly…
How Do You Just Take Your Camera,
Your Skills And Start Charging for it?
The problem with many business courses is that they simply weren’t created to cater to photographers... We’re not going to lecture you on the VALUE of adept business skills… You already know you need to develop those (AND we’ll show you how in module 3 and 4!)
But what we really notice - and what led to the creation of this course - is that while there are a MILLION businesses courses out there… There aren’t many that teach photographers how to turn their passion into a full time business.
How to handle the ‘legal stuff’, how to generate business and find clients, how to make sales & manage revenue… and how to shoot clients & ensure they LOVE the proofs you hand them… And how to - essentially - run a great photography business, if you have no business skills.
The only courses we could find were FILLED with holes… gaps in information… And were more CONFUSING than simple.
