The Second Annual Profitability LIVE
During the second annual Profitability LIVE, our most experienced and profitable photo managers will draw back the curtain and walk you through their process of estimating, pricing and delivering client projects, using real numbers and client examples.
Do any of these questions sound familiar?
- How do I know how much to charge for a photo book?
- What should I charge for scanning, digital photo organizing or an entire project?
- How do I know if I am actually making money or losing money?
- Will people pay me what I am worth?
- What is the value of the services I provide?
- Can I accelerate my income without working harder?
If you said yes to any of these questions, then this event is a must-attend!
Why Attend This Event?
Pricing is the Key to Increasing Profits
You likely became a professional photo manager because you have a passion for photos, telling stories, and helping clients save and document their life’s legacy. Yet that isn’t all you need. To be successful, you also need to understand what to sell, how to sell, and price your services, so you make a PROFIT.
Over three days, you will unlock the mystery of pricing by learning from experienced pros! There will be no “secrets”; instead, you’ll know exactly how to estimate, price, and deliver a final project – we call this a double victory. Your client will be thrilled, and you will feel valued and well-compensated!
FREE WEBINAR – Inside Look: Profitability LIVE 2021. Meet the speakers and hear more about what you’ll learn during their presentations. Some previous attendees will also be on the call to share how their business has changed because of what they took from Profitability LIVE 2020.
Here’s What Attendees Are Saying
Every session was informative. The speakers fantastic and I really appreciated their candor and honesty. I came away with a concrete list of things to change or implement in my business. Profitability Live gave me the knowledge and confidence to change some of the ways I do business. It was full of great information for both new and experienced Photo Managers. Thank you for a wonderful program!!
Profitability Live was packed full of invaluable information. Receiving advice from the pros in this growing field, while also realizing I can do what they’re doing was a great way to build confidence. As someone who spent seven years in competitive MLM, I was so impressed with the level of encouragement I felt in just three days worth of training. It truly is a giving and supportive community that I’m proud to be part of already!

Sneak Peek into Last Year’s Event
The Profitability training was excellent, it helped me understand my value and it encouraged me to move forward with pursuing new clients. I feel much better about the value of what I have to offer and have a better understanding of how I should be charging of that different services. I highly recommend it to not just beginners but also to those that have been in the business but are still not charging what they should.
How I priced my Discovery Meetings, organizing hours and scanning and for my first 2 photo organizing jobs came from attending Profitability LIVE last year! Even further, scheduling a Discovery Meeting (including calling it that) also came from what I heard presented last year. My scanning pricing model came from Adam Pratt’s presentation. My organizing pricing model came from Sandra Williams’s presentation and the Discovery meeting idea and how to came from Darla. All who presented fabulously. I have learned so much in the past two years from Masterclass, conference and Profitability LIVE. I literally use takeaways every single day.

Julie Kessler
Picture This Organized
We have been trying to move away from pricing by the hour to value based pricing. Since we track time and items for every phase, I realized that we have the data to provide estimates or proposals. This strategy is based on 10 years of trial and error with projects of all sizes and client with big expectations! I do have success with client buy in.
Rachel Jenkins
Scrap My Pix
Being a business owner is not for the faint of heart and it can be exhausting. So many decisions. You are the wearer of many hats and eventually you have to figure out how to work less and still make an income that suits your lifestyle. And while it seems logical that you can grow your business by simply increasing the number of billable hours, it is not necessarily the most profitable way to grow. As the founder and owner of ScrapMyPix since 2010, I’ve been through many iterations of pricing models. We’ll discuss setting up a value-based structure around book design, tracking your time and evaluating profitability on your book projects.
Lida Bunting
Znimka Creations
I’m a numbers person and love spreadsheets, so from Day 1, I utilized Excel to track my time and costs to help me figure out my pricing. I use a custom-designed spreadsheet with built-in formulas where I input the number of photos I’m starting with, and the spreadsheet does the rest. Although, I continually am improving my system and tweaking my spreadsheet, my philosophy remains the same: To make sure I cover all anticipated costs, provide the client with a high-value product, and be profitable.

Holly Corbid
Capture Your Photos
Profitability has been a key focus for me at Capture Your Photos. When I first branded my business in 2014 and started doing more and more digital organizing, I was really good at giving my time away. What I learned, is that by implementing consistent digital organizing processes and clearly defining my services, I became more efficient and smarter about how I spent my time, which ultimately led to increased profitability. It’s a journey that continues.
Amanda Littlecott
Clear Bubble
My background as a Management Consultant has been invaluable to understanding how to price my packages for photo organising. The tool and techniques are the same, as well as the learning curve to get it right. I look forward to sharing my insights into how to reduce the challenges of pricing digital photo organizing for profitability.
Becky Ball
Beacon Digital Video
I have been a member of TPM for many years but it is only in the past year that I purchased a home movie transfer service and turned it into a profitable photo organizing business that is full time and my only source of income. As a single mom, it is imperative that I have a steady paycheck and a full pipeline, but as a creative, “right-side of the brain” personality, money tracking and numbers did not come easily. In fact, it scared me to death. After attending Profitability Live 2020, I developed a process for estimating & pricing that combines all the necessary ingredients to ensure my business stays steady and profitable. I look forward to sharing my secrets to success ingredients list including communication, accuracy, weekly paychecks, and a waiting list for new customers.

This has given me the confidence to promote my new photo management business in my local area (where most people have never thought about the value of having their photo collections organised). Looking forward to the next sessions!
I will never NOT attend this! My business really took off after implementing some of the tips. But I also like to think it was just being in the Profitability LIVE headspace that really helped. Thinking differently, asking questions, trying different approaches to see what works… I recommend Profitability LIVE to everyone!

Digital photo organizing is one of the most time-consuming aspects of a client project.

Getting Paid Weekly for Increased Profitability with Becky Ball

Becky Ball will be showcasing her pricing strategy for two major organizing jobs she calls, her “real world” examples. She will be creating a spreadsheet for her customers using a segmented project structure. Not only will she be using the spreadsheet herself during these projects, but she will also be giving the client their copy as part of the contract. As a single mom, with this job being her only income, she needs to get paid weekly or at the very least bi-weekly, and she knows many can relate.
