Developing a Vision and Creating a Photography Business Plan

Characteristics Of This Class:


Once you understand how to price your products and have your sales strategy in place, it's time to bring all that information together into a cohesive, practical business plan. This isn't the type of business plan banks require to secure a loan; it's a road map for a profitable year.

We'll create a plan that outlines what type and how many sessions you are going to do, how much you need to make from each session and what type of salary you can expect to earn as a result of your hard work. The first portion of the class will focus on developing a vision for your business and the second half will be developing the path to reach that vision.

Who Should Take This:

Professionals who currently make a living from their photography, or plan to in the next year. If you're not sure what to expect from your business in the next twelve months, this class is a MUST for all wedding and portrait photographers.

We recommend taking Pricing and Selling Wedding and Portait Photography first, but you can still benefit from this workshop if you haven't.
