THE CREATIVES CLUBIncreasing income during economic low

During this strange time, we're all learning as we go, adjusting along the way. One thing that business owners are having to learn is how to replace income that they have lost or are going to lose due to the pandemic. Below, I am laying out 10 ways that photographers can increase their bottom line without having to pick up another full time job!

 
 

PRODUCTS
Albums/Prints
Increasing your album and print sales with existing clients is a great way to see a little income boost. If you don't love product sales, remember products are how you make your clients' memories tangible!

SERVICES
Mentorships
There are creatives a few years behind you who would love to learn from you and pick your brain on how to grow their business or take pictures. Hourly mentorships are a way to leverage your free time and make some extra $!

EXPERIENCES
Styled shoot seats

Have a styled shoot planned for 2020? Sell a couple of spots and share the shoot. While it's not direct income, it can cover almost all of your shoot expenses!

PRODUCTS
Print shop
There are probably some beautiful photographs just sitting on your hard-drive that you could put into a print shop and sell!

SERVICES
Add-ons
What are you good at that you could upsell to your existing clients? Floral arranging, invitation design, makeup services for an engagement shoot? Consider what you could offer as an add-on to increase your $ per client.

SERVICES
Editing services
If you're a photographer, you already know how to edit. If you're looking for more income, consider offering editing services to other photographers. Especially around wedding season!

06

SERVICES
Virtual assistance
Do you know how to answer emails, set up appointments, and post on social media? Consider becoming a virtual assistant! There are lots of opportunities (and pay grades) depending on your skillset and experience.

EXPERIENCES
Additional time

You've already booked some 2020 weddings– how can you increase your payment per wedding? Offer discounted additional coverage time to your brides!

PRODUCTS
Passive education
We all have knowledge someone can benefit from. Putting together a resource people can purchase online is a way you can make $ while you sleep!

 

09

SERVICES
Stock/product photos
Stepping into a new photography niche can be profitable. Offer product photos to local or online businesses or find some stock-worthy photos already on your hard-drive and sell them online for extra income!

A lot of these are things that I have done, especially back when I was trying to bring my husband home to work full time. I just want to tell you, it IS possible to meet your monthly financial goals and to makeup for the income that's shallowed out in your bank account! It may not be easy, but the great thing is that if you pick one of these things up, it's an additional revenue stream that strengthens your business financially and can pour in extra money for as long as you need it! 

 

YOU CAN DO THIS! We are going to get through this crazy time together!
