2025 New Year Special: Photography Business Predictions by the Coaches — Part 1

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Happy New Year, and welcome to a special podcast episode to kick off 2025. For this episode, I asked some of my favourite and new-to-me photography business coaches to contribute and share their thoughts on how this year will shape photographers running their businesses following what many thought was a tough 2024 and the potentially big impact of Ai on both the creative and business side of photography. Here's exactly what I asked each of them… Your 2025 Predictions Wanted for the PhotoBizX Podcast! 🎙️ Andrew here from PhotoBizX, hope you’re well! I’m putting together a podcast episode for a New Year release of PhotoBizX and would love to feature you and your thoughts on how you see photography businesses shaping up for 2025. I’ll need a 5-10 minute (strictly no more than 10 minutes) audio recording to take part.   Here’s what to include: 1. Start the recording with an intro saying: — Who you are — The name of your business — Briefly, what you do   2. Then, share your thoughts and predictions for photography businesses in 2025. — You can focus on marketing and advertising trends, sales strategies, branding, social media, shifting markets, shooting multiple genres vs. specialising, or anything else photographers need to do to succeed. Take this wherever you like! — Alternatively, share what you would do if you gave advice to a photographer moving to a new city across the country who wanted to get business up and running fast with new bookings.   3. Finish your recording by sharing where listeners can go to learn more about you. — Choose one place—Instagram, your website, a special landing page—whatever works best for you.   You'll see a list of contributing photography business coaches below, where you can learn more about them and what they do. I hope you enjoy and get something from this part one of a two-part 2025 New Year episode. Let's get into it!
