How many times have you gotten an email from a client wondering why their print has someone’s foot cut off at the bottom or someone’s hair cut off at the top? What caused the issue? How can you avoid it in the future?

In this blog, we will teach you to be more successful by showing you ways to increase your photography business income on top of your session booking rates! If you read our previous blog post on how to sell more prints, then you heard from The Beginning Photography Podcast how important it is to set up a Storefront to sell prints. First, let’s conquer that fear and set up your Storefront with ease.

Every photography business owner wants to be a thriving entrepreneur. Is that you? It is not just strategy or execution, but how well you know your own strengths. Self-awareness involves your personality style, how you see the world around you, and why you see it that way.

"As the photographer, getting your photos to your clients is the job. Sending your client a link to a Google Drive folder is less than ideal. Here you are, about to legitimize your business and your client's experience with a real client gallery experience like CloudSpot." - Raymond Hatfield.

When it comes to selling prints to clients, one of the most frequently asked questions we get here at CloudSpot is about pricing prints, setting markups appropriately, and why no one talks about this. While we can’t give you a one-size-fits-all answer here on the exact percentage markup to add to your prints and products, we can share some of our recommendations, questions to ask yourself, and general advice to help you choose what’s right for your business.

Raymond Hatfield, Host of The Beginner Photography Podcast, is a wedding and portrait photographer that started interviewing photographers on this podcast to hear how they got started, how they see the world, and hear those photographers share what they wish they knew when they started out.
