Hey, side hustle photographers, I see you. You’re out there, hustling hard, juggling the thrill of the flash and the click with the less glamorous side of freelance photography. Scheduling shoots, maintaining client relations, and tracking every dime - it’s no walk in the park. Your part-time photography gigs are starting to feel like a full-time admin job, leaving you with hardly any time to capture the world in its golden hour glory.
But hold on, let's shake things up a bit. Picture this instead: a world where your schedule runs smoother than a new set of backdrop paper. Where your client communications flow like a well-rehearsed photo-shoot. A world where your finances are as perfectly balanced as your compositions. This is no fantasy – it’s the 'after' you get with Pixifi. And guess what? You’ll even have time to build that dream side hustle photographer portfolio.
Ready to turn this vision into your new reality? Here are some side hustle tips for photographers to make that switch:
1. Be a Boss of Your Bookings
Ditch your disarrayed calendars for Pixifi's automated scheduling tool. Laura, a side gig photography champ, swapped her confusing system for Pixifi and said goodbye to double bookings. She’s now got extra hours to grow her side business photography.
2. Connect Like a Pro
Craving more photography gigs for beginners and beyond? Pixifi's CRM system is your golden ticket. John, a portrait master, used it to maintain clear, timely client communications. The result? More referrals and more bookings. Boom!
3. Nail Your Numbers
Financial management, often the nemesis of your photography side gig opportunities, doesn't have to be a struggle. When I was managing two part-time photography jobs and being a full time student, I relied on Pixifi's invoicing feature to simplify my financials. It allowed me to see (very quickly) what events were truly making me money and what clients I could afford to say no to. Time saved, headache spared!
Your Next Click
Your side hustle as a freelance photographer doesn’t have to be all chaos and admin. Make your move and turn those weekend jobs into an everyday reality. Light up your lens and spark up your extra income photography game; it may take time but you do have what it takes to craft a profitable, sustainable, photography business.
TLDR: Focus on what you do best and just Pixifi the rest!
