"You earn more from stock when you shoot a series, so tell one story across images and upload them as a set"

Benefits of creating a passive income for photographers.

Hey Reader

Recently, I've had a lot of life stuff pull me away from my business. Whilst it's frustrating, even though I've set things up to enable access remotely, I've still not been able to devote as much time to my business as I would like.

But one thing I'm grateful for is taking the time to develop a passive income, whether it's through stock photography, digital assets or using POD services like Printful.

When it comes to creating a passive income, the hardest part isn't the tech, the product ideas or the marketing.

It's getting started.

The first step is always the hardest. Why? Because it's the unknown.

You're unsure what will work.

You don't want to waste time or money (and my time is valuable).

You've already got a lot on your plate. We're all juggling so many things these days: kids, jobs and business, elderly parents, home, and partners.

But here's the thing: once you start, momentum builds quickly.

Your first product leads to your second.

Your first sale shows it's possible.

And soon, you're building an income stream that works for you 24/7.

Need a little more convincing?

Benefits worth taking that first step for:

  • More time freedom - even when you're not working.
  • Extra financial security - no more relying on just client bookings.
  • Creative fulfilment - turn your photos, skills and ideas into products that help others.

You don't need to overhaul your business overnight.
Just one small action this week can put you on the path. It could be researching an idea you may have. Enquiring about some POD services, or looking to supply stock libraries.

You've got this. And the sooner you start, the sooner you'll see it working for you.

"Small, consistent steps create lasting freedom in your photography business." What's really holding you back? Hey Reader Let's be honest for a moment. When it comes to building passive income, it's rarely a lack of ideas that holds you back. It's something deeper. For some, it's fear - fear of getting it wrong, or wasting time. For others, it's overwhelm - too many options, too much noise. And often, it's because we think ordinary work won't sell. But it does. Every day. The photos, tools,...

"You make progress when you cut noise, so mute the distractions and finish the one task that pays you." Define Your Goals, Plan Your Path. Hey Reader As we approach the end of 2025, there's one thing I've learned that makes the biggest difference in business growth, and that's having a clear goal and a plan to reach it. It's not just about saying, "I want to earn more", or "I want to grow my audience." It's about setting a number, then working backwards to figure out exactly how you'll get...

"You don't need a perfect plan, you need the next clear step and the courage to take it right now." The missing piece in most photographers' income. Hey Reader Let’s be honest, most photographers start their business because they love taking photos, not because they dream of working 60-hour weeks, juggling shoots, editing, admin, and marketing. But what happens when you stop shooting? For most photographers, the income stops too. That’s exactly why I created my new Passive Income & Stock...
