Replay. Charge more for your photography
Why are you scared of charging more for your photography? Imagine what can happen when you charge more for your photography business. If you put more effort into making more money than giving discounts.
When you charge more for your photography business, you can run a more ethical business. You can give jobs to others instead of insisting on doing it all yourself. You can hire an accountant, printer, album designer, VA, editor, or whatever else you need to help you out.
In this podcast episode, learn why you should charge more for your services and the basics of doing it.
This is a replay of episode 63.

Key takeaways
You can charge however much you want to. If you’re scared of charging more, the answer is education, and that’s why I started this podcast, to begin with. I don’t think that there are many photographers who deliberately undercut the market by charging so little that they go bankrupt. I’m all for you doing things your way and for reaching the kinds of clients that you want, regardless of what level that might be at. But no matter what you choose, please do so from a place of knowing what you’re doing instead of being scared.
