Pivot Podcast: Make More Money as a Photographer by Expanding Beyond Client Sessions
Photographers are out there right now, losing sleep over problems you can solve in your sleep. Pivot Podcast shows you how to turn that expertise into a thriving teaching business.
Hosted by Skye Edmonds—seven-figure photographer, educator, and coach with over 20 years in the industry—this is where photographers learn to go beyond the grind of client sessions and step into income streams that actually scale.
With over 10,000 photographers transformed through her courses and coaching, Skye brings an unfiltered mix of strategy, sales psychology, and mindset shifts designed to help you work smarter, not harder. From workshops and courses to group coaching and passive income, you’ll discover how to turn your photography skills into a 6-figure (and beyond) business.
Every episode delivers practical tools and power-packed perspective to help you:
► Increase your income without increasing your hours
► Build a recognizable, respected brand
► Create high-impact offers that align with your values and lifestyle
This isn’t theory. This is the exact playbook Skye used to build a 7-figure business. If you’re ready to pivot from trading time for money and finally create the business you can’t stop dreaming about, you’re in the right place.
