Overhead Exchange


In the beginning, it’s common to think that no one can do the job as well as you can. You know your products inside out, and are the only one who truly has the passion to make the business succeed. Unfortunately this is only a recipe to burnout, it can actually significantly impede your success. 

While it's true getting others to do something as well or better than yourself is one of the hardest aspects of seeking help, however is it necessary if you're going to grow your business past the six-figure mark. The other potential downside is that the added expense of time, money and headache of trainging a partly-full-time assistant outweighs the benefits and the best assistants don't stay assistants long. 

This is where we come in. 

As a Headshot Photographer You have a few expenses you just can't get away from. Some come in the form of operating fees like paying $9.99/month for website hosting instead of $1000's to build your our server. Fees like $50-$150 a month to post your banner on website, on top of adwords campaign for online promotion, or even printed post cards for a mailer campaign. However nothing hurts your bottom line compared to the losses that come in sneaky forms of old industry norms; for instance handing a disc to your client or uploading your images to a gallery system outside of your network will definitly add up to thousands in lost income for your business.

Yet many times photographers are so concerned about making money (understandably) that they forget the key to having a sustainable business -- having satisfied, loyal customers who will buy over the long term.

Instead paying $10/mo for website hosting, $100/mo for an online banner, spending your offtime scaning the forums for new clients, posting shot after shot of your work and specials on social media. Why not give a partnership with us a try instead? 

With our locally based network of studios & servers that include include Client Galleries, Complete Website Design & Maintenance, Profiles, Article syndication, Interviews, Commercial Production, The Headshot Guide, Headshot Workshops and Q and A Panels, Promotions, Contests, Partners Systems and of course simply more Headshot Clients. You can even get help with schedule management, welcome calls & emails, even your travel arrangements.
