There are so many great apps that can help you run your photography business more efficiently! Here are some of my favorites:
Discounts
INLY
for invoicing, contracts, proposals, and more
Inly is an all-in-one platform where you can do contract work, invoicing, questionnaires, proposals, messaging, and more! Inly has a beautiful interface and my clients have found it so easy to pay through their portal and track their payment schedules. As the user, you can also track your projected income for the season/year. Also, Inly’s customer service is FANTASTIC. They respond to questions at the speed of light; I know I’m in great hands!
PICTIME
for gallery delivery
There are SO many reasons why I love using Pic-Time. For starters, it’s a beautiful and professional way to deliver client galleries. It also offers a storefront where you can offer high quality products and prints to your clients. You can also track visitor engagement and storefront sales.
Extra bonus – if you get the unlimited storage option, you can think of Pic-Time as a second cloud backup! You can never have too many backup options ;)
QUICKBOOKS
for accounting and finances
Quickbooks makes tracking your income and expenses SO easy. I love that I can take photos of my receipts and log everything into one place. This makes tax prep season much easier and you can give your accountant access to your info.
BACKBLAZE
for backing up your computers and hard drives
Never ever wait to back up your computers and hard drives. You never know when something might crash and you want to PREPARE for the worst, just in case. I thank the heavens for Backblaze. It is an affordable cloud service where with ONE subscription, you can back up 1 computer and 1 hard drive… AT ALL TIMES. Yup, Backblaze is always running in the background and continuously backing up all your files.
Extra bonus – with the Backblaze app, you can access any of your backed up files, from ANYWHERE!
