The Truth About Part Time


Listen Later

286 - If you’ve ever said, “I’m just doing this on the side,” and used that to justify your low prices… this episode is your wake-up call. We’re pulling back the curtain on the actual math of part-time profitability, common mindset traps that keep you stuck, and how to finally price your sessions like the legit business owner you are.

What to Listen For:

  • Why pricing low as a part-time photographer sets you up for burnout
  • The big mindset lie that says “if it’s fun, I shouldn’t charge much”
  • Why your expenses don’t change just because you’re part-time
  • The one thing you MUST track to know if your pricing is profitable
  • How $2,000+ average sales actually make part-time photography easier
  • Why your limited availability is a pricing advantage
  • How to reframe your beliefs about money, value, and success
  • A simple piece of homework that can change your pricing mindset overnight

Whether you're in it for creative expression or building toward full-time, your part-time photography business deserves full-time profits. It's time to ditch the guilt and own your value. Start pricing like a pro—because your time, talent, and artistry are worth it.

👉 Be sure to grab the free Session Profit Planner and take your first step toward part-time profit that actually pays.
