One of the best ways to maintain passion and avoid burnout is to get into the zone - but in something outside of your regular work. Hudi loves food photography, but is obsessed with woodworking and cooking at home. If you have a creative outlet that gives you joy, it will keep you fresh and keep burnout far away.
When you are using photos in order to promote your product on an e-comm site, first make sure that the photo answers your customers’ question before they ask it by highlighting the feature that makes your product unique. Second, once they’ve clicked, have numerous photos instead of just one or two, so that they’ll stay on the site longer - which makes them more likely to buy. And third, make sure that you have a picture which demonstrates the scale of the product; skipping this simple step will likely result in bad reviews and unsatisfied customers.
There are different reasons to scale your business - and the most obvious one is in order to make more money. But that’s not a guarantee; sometimes your business has grown but you’re not making any more than before. At the same time, there can be other reasons to scale, even if it won’t increase your bottom line - such as having a much more reasonable schedule even if you bring home the same size paycheck. So before your scale, make sure you know the reason that you’re doing it.
If you’re human to your employees, they’ll be human back to you. Showing your employees respect and demonstrating with actions that you’re looking out for their best interests will encourage them to do the same for you. Going the extra mile to make your workers satisfied ultimately results in their willingness to do almost anything you need.
