How to Use Products to Avoid Burnout

Expand Your Reach

filed in

Interview w/ Christa Robinson

"One thing you can do without investing in a new website, is sharing on social media. I teach my students what samples to get and encourage them to share client orders before they go out. I showed up really regularly, and shared over and over again until I was attracting people because I offered products."

Today I’m joined by photographer and business coach Christa Rene. We’re diving into…

  • ways you can avoid burnout as a service provider by adding products to your business
  • why clients typically don’t buy from online galleries
  • what you can do instead to increase your profit per session while shooting less

All without feeling overly salesy.

And even though a lot of the examples we share are photographer specific, I think that a lot of the principles talked about in this episode can be applied to most service based businesses.

If you’re ready to stop trading hours for dollars, this episode is going to be a game changer for you.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
