Whilst the technical skills needed to make a successful

exist ten years ago, and they sell their products as a result of
photography. Cameras used by scuba divers are now an excellent
quality, and whilst they are initially expensive, they have
forged a new market. People celebrate special occasions more
with photography, than they did years ago. The travel and
advertising markets have a greater need for landscape, travel
and nature shots.
It is now easier than ever to turn your dream into reality and
create a worthwhile business out of an engrossing hobby. However
in todays modern world there is more to it than simply pointing
a camera, and shooting a picture. You need to be aware of
marketing techniques, and here marketing simply means
transferring ownership of a product, in this case an image from
a buyer to seller. You also need to be aware of any local gaps
in the market in your local area. You should also try to be on
top of your competitors prices, to undercut an existing
photographer is one choice, but to neglect to value your skills

Use your skills to the best advantage of the business and define
what you want from it. Writing a business plan helps to keep you
focused on the areas you specifically want to exploit. A
business plan helps you to define your goals and strategies, it
will be changed and updated, but it will help you, to keep
things in perspective. You can then refer back to it when things
become confusing or complicated. Everyones business plan will
be different, as every objective will be different, but there
are certain common factors that make up a good business plan
which will help your business grow. It allows you to develop a
professional attitude to your business, which not only helps you
to increase your earnings, but also help you to finance your
business.
For the photographer it should include, your business name, or
your own, with full details of the proposed location of the
business, a copy of your logo, as well as details of your
copyright notices. What is the form of your proposed business
(sole ownership, partnership, Limited Liability Company or
Corporation). This should be followed by a table of contents,
which focuses on a logical order. There are resources that will
give you further details on such as profitable-photography.com

Included after this should be the type of business you intend to
pursue, in a fair amount of detail, and it should contain the
services you intend to offer. This section should include any
future gaols or avenues you would like to explore, stating your

whether your objectives are on course, or if you have got
sidetracked.
If you envisage at any time you may need financial help, then
you should include your personal business history.
You should also state a clear and concise marketing plan that
should demonstrate how your business will differentiate from the
businesses of your competitors. You should be able to establish
whom your customers will be, as well as where your market will
be, as in wholesale or retail or a combination of both. You
should also be able to determine how long this type of market
will be available to yourself.
The next section should clearly define your opposition, as well
as their strengths and weaknesses. This should include the ways
you may be able to exploit any gaps in the market in the
specific area where you live. A section should follow this on
how you intend to market and promote your individual services.
A financial segment should be included as to how you intend to
manage the day-to-day bills of the business. How you intend to
price your services, and what factors influence this pricing
structure, which includes a section on your competitors
financial structures. This means a fair amount of detective work
as well as homework. Get your friends to ask from quotes from
the local competition. Or try an even more direct approach, tell
your competitors that you intend to start a new business, and
that you do not want to undercut them, as this reduces the cake
for everyone. They may well offer to help you construct a
pricing structure that ensures everyones livelihood. It is in
their interests to help. Not everyone will be cooperative, but
it may mean you can get a truer picture of the market factors
that govern your area.

difficulties that may arise in obtaining your supplies. Note
whether the prices of your supplies have a seasonal fluctuation,
that may help you influence you when to buy. You should make a
note of any local licenses that will be necessary, as well as
any zoning restrictions, that may restrict the growth of your
business. Your neighbours may not be thrilled at a procession of
customers to your door, check whether they can restrict your
services. Make a study of all your business insurance
requirements.
The final segment should be devoted to how you intend to finance
the growth of your business, as well as isolating what your
financial needs will be. This should include a projection on
your future earnings, as well as an accurate assessment of your
outgoings. This should be assessed on a monthly basis for the
first year, and on an annual basis for the following three
years. An important aspect of the financial statement is an
assessment of the break-even point of your business, in other
words the minimum you will have to take to pay your expenses.
The purpose of this documentation is to allow you to enunciate
what the core elements of your business will be, in doing this
it should help you to be able to quickly evaluate the success of
your business objectives. If you are not clear on your
objectives then you cannot possibly make a plan to bring about
the success of those objectives.
