  • Andrew Asks the Questions I am Thinking!

    I came across PhotoBizX only a few months ago, even though Ihave been listening to photography podcasts for years, and it has quickly become one of my favourite resources.

    Andrew shares incredibly valuable information about the business side of photography, and the quality of his guests is excellent. I started with the free membership, which already had so many useful takeaways, and Ihave now upgraded to the premium membership. The value is outstanding.

    Andrew is also one of the best interview... more

  • Practical, Actionable Advice for Growing Your Photography Business

    I’ve been listening to PhotoBizX for a while, and episode 678 on creating a custom. ChatGPT was excellent!

    Andrew asked great questions, in the interview clearly explained how to train ChatGPT to better understand your photography business. (I appreciated the beginner level details for people who aren’t familiar with it!)

    What I appreciate most is how much valuable actionable content Andrew shares before asking listeners to join his private community. Every episode leaves listeners with ideas... more

  • A Gem in the World of Photography Business Education

    I’ve been a loyal listener of PhotoBizX for years, and it remains the single most valuable resource for my photography business. Andrew Hellmich has an incredible knack for interviewing; he consistently asks his guests the exact questions I’m thinking, digging deep into the nuts and bolts of the “how" rather than staying on the surface.

    Beyond the podcast episodes, the Premium membership is worth its weight in gold. Andrew frequently organises fantastic webinars and training sessions led by exp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

693: Kate Ellis – Taking Home $210,000 as a Solo Photographer Without Working Mondays
Q: Tell me and the listener how the hospital partnership works.
The hospital partnership is her largest third-party marketing channel and accounts for 38% of her clients. The interview's free portion ends before Ellis explains the partnership's mechanics.
693: Kate Ellis – Taking Home $210,000 as a Solo Photographer Without Working Mondays
Q: Why did you change to a digital-first price list?
Ellis wanted a simpler same-day sales process, with clients first choosing how many digital files they wanted. Editing only purchased images reduced her editing time and lowered cost of goods.
692: Jennifer Tsay – How Free Photo Shoots Became a Profitable $10 Million Photography Brand
Q: What are you doing to get those people back?
Shoott uses email and text marketing, personalized reasons to return such as birthdays, and community fundraisers that help schools raise money while introducing the business to local families.
692: Jennifer Tsay – How Free Photo Shoots Became a Profitable $10 Million Photography Brand
Q: How do you make a business model like this profitable?
Shoott attracts clients with free sessions, then earns revenue from clients who buy photographs. The company handles marketing, scheduling and customer service, and photographers receive whichever is higher: a guaranteed minimum or a commission on sales.
690: Tara Shuler – When Mum Wants $5,000 in Photography Wall Art and Dad Wants to Leave
Q: What do you say when you hear, “I need to think about it” or “we'll discuss it”?
Shuler advises asking what part the client needs to consider, what feels uncertain, or whether they are evaluating other options. She says accepting the objection without asking more can end the conversation before the photographer understands the hesitation.
