Hello and welcome back! This week we are talking about how to bring in some consistency to a very inconsistent business. We all know that as photographers it can be difficult to have a base pay coming in every month to rely on but in this article I've compiled a list of ideas that can bring in money every month.
Idea #1: Social Media Management
This can be a good way to offer your photography skills while also helping local businesses run their social media. The number one element of social media that captures people's attention (besides video) is photos. Once you've layered some marketing and writing skills on top of that, you've got the whole package. Some businesses will even have a large enough business that this could be one of your main sources of income.
Idea #2: Expand Into Videography
This is of course with the idea that you enjoy videography. This could even just be a small branch where you make snippets for your social media clients. Nothing extravagant, but your high quality camera will capture something better than most people's phones.
Idea #3: Commercial Photography
Think local realtors, local eBay businesses, and even online clients. This can bring in some great consistent money, all while taking something outside of your clients realm of knowledge off their plate.
Idea #4: Local Events
This could be your local farmers market, or even just monthly events hosted by charities or businesses, that they want documented.
Hopefully this list helps some people out there considering becoming a photographer. With the high volume of competition and the struggle to expand across many niches, we know it can be tough. But if it's something you really want this list can help give you ideas as to where to look for monthly income.
Hope you enjoyed this week's blog post, see you all next week!
