- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I'm definitely not looking to go full-blown brick and mortar, but I assumed since more than a few people are inquiring about me for photos, it would be a good way to make some side income and also get needed experience. Thanks for the advice! I'm just going to plunge head first into this and if I only make a few grand around senior photo time each year, that's fine by me.Most new retail businesses fail because the business owner doesn't have business, marketing, and salesmanship skills.
A lot of the business owners that have a business that fails DO have business, marketing, and salesmanship skills. So the key is actually having very good business, marketing, and salesmanship skills. A fair amount of luck is also involved.
I'm also really passionate about learning how to make good images, so as I advance my skillset and take advantage of social media, I feel like that would naturally garner me more clients. With that on top of good advertising at specific times of the year (thanks to good family ties), my gut tells me I'll do ok.
