One question new booth owners ask us is, “What does a day in the life of an entrepreneur really look like?” In this blog, we’ll paint a clear picture of what your life can be like if you take the next step and choose this lifestyle. Keep reading to explore the life of an entrepreneur before you take the leap yourself!

Start the Day in Your PJs

It’s not uncommon for a day in the photo booth entrepreneur life to begin in the comfort of your warm bed. You can complete almost all of your administrative and marketing tasks from home.

You might check your business email right from your phone. Wake up and take stock of new inquiries or website form submissions. A perk of the entrepreneur lifestyle is that you’ll feel productive before you’ve made your first cup of coffee!

From there, many of our photo booth owners shift to working in a home office. Many can also work from coffee shops or community spaces.

Likewise, being an entrepreneur means flexibility. If you work better in the evenings, you have the power to flip your day and handle many tasks at night. As long as you’re available to engage with customers and handle inquiries, you are in charge of what your schedule looks like.

What Do You Do in a Day in the Life of an Entrepreneur?

Here are a few of the administrative tasks you’ll complete from day to day:

Responding to emails and inquiries: With strong marketing, you’ll have clients reaching out to you. Customers will contact you about your services and prices and to check your availability. Some of this outreach might take place over the phone. If you’re organized, you’ll have form responses and rate sheets available, making responding a breeze.
Marketing and outreach: Keen photo booth owners go where the customers are. Engage with the audience that is already looking for your services! Expect to spend a lot of your day on social media. You’ll curate content, post in Facebook groups, and update your website.
Luckily, you’ll have plenty of fantastic, high-quality images to use as part of your marketing campaign. It’s a perk of the job!
Scheduling and maintaining your calendar: As a new photo booth owner, you might be your only employee. That makes this step a lot easier! As you grow, however, you’ll need to assign attendants to different events. Likewise, it’s important to ensure you have the equipment available for each one.
Bookkeeping and financials: Another part of your day will involve balancing your books. This includes handling invoicing, maintaining clear financial records, and tracking your earnings and ROI.

You might notice that these tasks don’t seem like they’d require eight hours a day. They don’t! Most photo booth entrepreneurs aren’t trapped in a 40-hour work week. Some work weekday mornings, others work two or three days a week.

Make Thousands in a Single Weekend

In the beginning, you might be working as the photo booth attendant at your events. You’ll probably find yourself working mostly on evenings and weekends. A two or three-hour booth rental can easily earn you hundreds of dollars. With the right tech and multiple bookings, you can earn thousands of dollars in a single weekend!

For many booth owners, the goal is to grow enough to hire staff to handle this part of the job. By sending staff to events, you’ll be able to keep your weekends free and still multiply your investment.

Over time, you’ll find that you’re working less and earning more. It’s a lot of work in the beginning, but it’s so satisfying to watch your business become lucrative and self-sustaining!
