Yea it’s not about brackets. You won’t ever make a living off that. If you had a restaurant you wouldn’t just arbitrarily pick menu prices, you’d pick them from figuring out food and salary costs, and then think about quality and what you think people would pay for the quality ofย  your food. I got my payscale down relatively cheap ( 200 dollars a client x 4 a week) only because we’re military and we have an allotment ( BAH) for housing and what not. So I don’t technically have to worry about making sure I get enough to have a place to live. Without that, I was averaging 600 each client. 200 is also the starting point, what I have to make each time to average out to about 20,000 a year in profits. I can adjust from there. But you have to do this stuff to run ANY successful business. Believe me, I hate all this stuff, i’d much rather just “take pretty Pictures” and be done with it all. lol

 

I just quickly did the NPAA one IHF linked, and came out with round about the same figures. 197 vs. my 194. This is all without paying for studio space all that, that’s where my business will change and grow. A dedicated studio space outside my home. ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s in my 5 year business plan ๐Ÿ˜‰
