Description

“There are months when I’ve so much work and then there are months with absolutely no projects.”“The income is so inconsistent, it’s hard to predict how much money I’ll make in the next 3 months.” “Some months it rains dollars, other months are drought.”"I don’t know if I can really turn to full-time photography, it’s so unpredictable."Does any of this sound familiar? Do you struggle with irregular patterns of client work & income?This unpredictability can be nerve wrecking. Not knowing if we’ll be able to make rent next month, is unsettling. So unsettling, that it can begin to take a toll on our emotional health and even consider giving up food photography, thinking that it is not a financially viable career.When that is totally not true! Food photography is most definitely a full-fledged viable career choice, but just like any other business, it depends a lot on us. That’s why in this week’s episode, I want to share a powerful way for you to create consistent income in your food photography business so that you have a regular cycle of client projects. I talk about what to change in your business workflow to be able to start tapping into clients and projects that you may already have.Just one additional step in your trajectory can be a complete game changer.A little work from your side can lead to years of assured income.It's time to take control of your photography business and move away from those dreaded zero-dollar months.Every business has their highs and lows.And that’s important because a high is not a high without a low. Ofcourse, going from high to higher to higher is the best but unrealistic too.So, it becomes highly important to equip ourselves such that our lows are never too low. And it's a no-brainer when we don’t need any extra gear or investment to be able to do that. Oh and also if we don’t need any additional years of experience either.Never stay guessing whether next month will be a high or a low.Be a confident photographer, always having a certain level of predictability of your monthly income so you have a secure bank balance, peace of mind and continue making money doing what you love. Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/68-how-to-break-free-from-those-zero-dollar-months-in-your-business/Episode 56 - https://myfoodlens.com/56-top-3-questions-to-ask-a-client-on-a-discovery-call/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch
