And once you have access to my workshop, I will give you my 100% undivided attention, and will tailor my knowledge and experience to empower you to your personal maximum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus the practical idea is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Offer 99% of your stuff for free, but charge a lot of money for 1% of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Create physical goods<\/strong>: When Cindy and I created <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/shop\">HAPTIC INDUSTRIES<\/a>, the idea was this&#8211; &#8220;If I could create my own optimal tools for myself, what would they look like?&#8221; Thus I created the <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/henri-neck-strap\/\">HENRI NECK STRAP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/henri-wrist-strap-pro\/\">HENRI WRIST STRAP PRO<\/a>, and also products for RICOH GR (<a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-hand-strap\/\">Eric Kim WRIST STRAP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-neck-strap\/\">Eric Kim NECK STRAP<\/a>). It seems the human bias is this: we don&#8217;t like to pay for digital goods or digital information &#8212; but we like to buy physical goods. Thus create your own physical goods in the domain of photography, and sell it via your blog (https:\/\/woocommerce.com), or sell it via <a href=\"https:\/\/services.amazon.com\/fulfillment-by-amazon\/benefits.html\">Amazon Fulfillment<\/a>. The upside of selling via Amazon is that almost all Americans have their credit card information stored in Amazon (which reduces the barrier for them to purchase your goods on Amazon). But the downside is Amazon takes a massive cut. But ultimately, it is still a &#8216;net positive&#8217; to sell on Amazon. This is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?imprToken=E2VTPRuEhhJzcb5VFku6Qw&amp;slotNum=0&amp;me=A1CPP082RBZJAC&amp;imprToken=vG3mS8jI1Fz8ZlA9BldoEw&amp;linkCode=w61&amp;slotNum=0\">HAPTIC is also on Amazon<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Sell experiences<\/strong>: Teach workshops, photography tours, photography adventures, photography consulting sessions (either online via Skype or offline in-person). An experience cannot be &#8216;pirated&#8217;. Not only that, but education will always remain in vogue. Even the philosophers of Ancient Greece (some of them) charged money for their philosophical classes. Even good old Aristotle apparently sold some of his &#8220;secrets&#8221; to some students (to the dismay of Alexander the Great). <\/li><li><strong>Photography education is going to continue to grow<\/strong> &#8212; consider the proliferation of iPhone cameras. It seems that everyone will use an iPhone as their gateway drug, and then eventually get a &#8216;standalone digital camera&#8217;. Then, they will desire how to use it, and how to make photos. They will continue to desire to improve their photography, and also discover more personal meaning in their photography (photography philosophy). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Becoming rich means to continue to stack your chips, and to indefinitely increase your riches (in your savings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practical ways not to waste money:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Don&#8217;t waste money on camera equipment<\/strong>: Buying $10,000 of camera equipment won&#8217;t help you earn (more than) $10,000 in photography gigs. My suggestion is to use the most basic, cheap, and simple camera equipment. Save your money on camera equipment, and put that in the bank. If you need some fancy equipment, rent or borrow it.<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t waste money on restaurants and alcohol<\/strong>: This is practical life advice &#8212; if you live in a big city, it is easily to blow $1,000-$1,500 USD on just eating out, ordering takeout, and drinking alcohol. I almost never eat out anymore (if I do, it is a meat-heavy buffet). I cook all my food at home. And all the meat I buy is usually .99 cents a pound (pork loin shoulder), or around $4.99 a pound (steak). I can feed myself like a baller on very little money. Also when I eat out with Cindy, I will eat very little, and share a single appetizer and entree with her, and when I go home I will cook an &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/09\/how-i-earn-200000-a-year-from-photography\/\">egg snack<\/a>&#8221; of around 12 eggs (yes, including the yolk) in order to fill myself up.<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t rent a studio or space<\/strong>: Reduce your monthly bills and expenses to the bare minimum. I don&#8217;t own a car, and all the cars I&#8217;ve purchased in the past have cost less than $2,500 USD. To buy or rent a studio is one of the worst wastes of money. With rent, best to split it with a roommate. I&#8217;m very fortunate I&#8217;m married to Cindy, because we are both dual-income, which means we can split our rent. Living by yourself is overrated, and insanely expensive. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-attachment-id=\"209965\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/f3401f6f-bcbe-45e2-9224-8ce5a09605ee\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;RICOH GR III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1576597407&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;6400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.04&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?resize=2560%2C1707&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"George Washington dollar \" class=\"wp-image-209965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F3401F6F-BCBE-45E2-9224-8CE5A09605EE-scaled.jpeg?resize=720%2C480&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also make it a note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2019\/07\/24\/frugality-is-freedom\/\">Frugal is sexy<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And what is the best camera equipment to buy?
