After researching the best options, I settled for Namecheap mainly for the affordability and user friendly interface. Namecheap also offers web hosting services, SSL certificates, and security and privacy protection to avoid your domain account being easily accessed and hijacked by hackers.

fiverr photographer freelancer online logo

This website offers freelancers a platform to be able to be contacted for one-off jobs. It is a helpful website to keep in mind if you are starting a new business. You can engage a freelancer to help with logo design, creating your website or even outsourcing some of your admin tasks.

By engaging someone else to do smaller jobs that are keeping you from focusing on the bigger tasks, you can ensure that you don’t suffer burnout before you’ve even started.

If you are serious about starting your own photography business, then ensure you set yourself up for success and get yourself organised. Microsoft’s small business solutions help you build seamless workflows and maximize your efficiency.

I use the Microsoft Office suite as part of my daily workflow, and I’d be lost without it. From building proposals, organising marketing, finances or a simple to-do list, through to meeting clients remotely via Microsoft Teams. Office 365 allows you to connect and collaborate, as well as keep you organised and simplify your workload.
