#334: I Studied 1,000 Top Photographers — Here's How They Actually Make Money

Tired of hearing "just post more" or "run Facebook ads"? The data on 1,000 profitable photographers says that advice is wrong.

In this episode, Sarah breaks down what she found after analyzing data from over 1,000 photographers who are actually making real money — not the ones with big followings, but the ones with systems. Five patterns emerged, and almost none of them match the advice you've been given.

● Why fewer, deeper relationships beat massive followings every time

● The real reason top photographers don't compete on price — and what they sell instead

● How a 30-minute session can produce a $200 order or a $15,000 order with the same amount of effort

Your camera skills aren't the bottleneck. Your business skills are. Press play and find out exactly what the top earners are doing differently.
