Outsource ~ frees me up to be able to shoot more properties per day

Out source prices has come down while quality and speedy has gone up. It makes things so much simpler.

I do my own photo and video editing. I'm shooting about 3 properties per week. I really enjoy the creative process of editing the media. If I was trying to max out income by shooting more properties, I'd consider outsourcing. But I'm doing this because I enjoy it, both the shooting and editing.

Over the past two years I have watched hundreds of YouTube video tutorials on Lightroom and Photoshop, and video topics. I enjoy developing my editing skills. That process has become an enjoyable hobby!

Outsource photo editing. This is my side hustle on top of a full time job. There's no way I could manage my photography business if I had to edit. I still end up doing a little further editing on maybe 5% of my photos, and I don't outsource any video editing.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi All,

Anyone using the Matterport photos for MLS - with or without - photo editing?

I only use Matterport images in an absolute pinch when something may have been missed or clients wanted something that wasn't shot

Only at the last minute and an agent is looking for something very different then what they normally ask for or for some reason there was something that my Nikon was finnicky about that day, you know how those Nikon cameras can be, to hot, to cold, to wet to dry.

+1 on using in a pinch when something is requested afterwards that may have been missed. Normal shooting is separate.
