Photography Question

Are There Guidelines for Managing Income?


I am somewhat new to photography. I have had my business for 2 years and am growing. Up until now almost everything I make I'm putting back into the business (buying backdrops, website, equipment, etc.) but now I'm wanting to manage it better - are there good books/guidelines on photographers business practices? For instance, is 5% or 20% of income reasonable for marketing? Any good tips or references would be helpful. Thanks!

  Hi Micki: I won't be much help for you, but I know someone who can help! That would be instructor Vik Orenstein, whose book on this subject - Photographers Market Guide to Building Your Business - is sold through the BetterPhoto store. For information:

Good luck in your career, Micki!
