8 Tools to Help You Improve Your Photography Business

If you want to be a successful photographer, it takes a lot more than being good with a camera and having creative ideas. All the most successful photographers are there because they understand how to run a proper business. If you are ready to revamp your approach in 2022, this awesome video will show you eight tools that will make you more efficient and productive and give you a better chance of finding success.

Coming to you from John Branch IV Photography, this great video will show you eight tools that will make you more productive on the business side of photography. While it still takes a lot of work to run a photography business, if you are not looking at all the ways you can automate your workflow, you are missing out. And, of course, remember that of all things, time is the only commodity that you can never get back. This includes automating common actions you perform in post-processing and business tasks. For example, one of the simplest things I ever did was buy time-tracking software. A $9 upfront investment has saved me countless time and headaches tracking and categorizing hours. Every little spot where you can save some time adds up in the end. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

Is it so difficult to have a written list of the tools mentioned, with their links? It would have saved us a lot of time, compared to having to watch 18 min of video and trying to find the mentioning of the tools amongst unnecessary filler talk.

If you click the "Watch on YouTube" link in the lower right corner of the video you will get a list and links to the tools mentioned.

Thank you, however 1) it is not obvious and 2) Why do we need Fstoppers duplicating content if I can watch it on Youtube? and 3) Why would someone click on "Watch on Youtube" if they came to watch this content here? Kind of expecting people to do one more click and spend (waste) extra time.

What if you had no idea it existed on Youtube?

Your question is not relevant to the subject I raised. Even if I had no idea it exists on YouTube, how difficult is it to write down a list of tools mentioned, instead of expecting people to waste time watching a video full of "filler" talk.

Why don’t you just find something to bitch about whiner? Watch the video or don’t. It’s called an in-line video. Why would FStoppers use storage to host videos they don’t have to?

Did you just come here to whine about things?
