How To Make 2024 The Best Year As A Freelance Photographer

Here’s my honest prediction for 2024:

Demand for freelance photographers is only going to skyrocket!

More disposable income, a rising need to capture every milestone in life, and the love of prints coming back, will fuel this growing demand.

So if you are gearing up as a newbie or scaling your existing photography business, here's a handy checklist of all the steps you need before making this the best year your business has seen.

1. Website

• Showcase all your latest work

• Check for any broken links or error 404s

• Include your contact email, social media channels, and location.

• Design and align projects with the kind of clients you want to work with.

2. Email

• Make sure none of your emails bounce back.

• Research potential new clients to reach out to in the coming year.

• Update your client list ( has anyone moved on or gone out of business?)

3. Gear and systems:

• Evaluate your systems (Accounting, Lead-Gen, Onboarding, etc.)

• If possible, check for alternate, more efficient options.

• Invest in people (Coach, Virtual Assistant, CPA, etc.)

4. Self-Care

• Write down professional and personal development goals for the year.

• Plan your self-care calendar for the whole year.

• Set aside time for your passion projects.

That’s it!
