Why Monetizing Sports Photography Is Now Easier Than Ever

If you’ve ever tried to sell your sports photos without a platform like GeoSnapShot, you know how challenging it can be. Customers spend forever scrolling through hundreds of photos, which often leads to frustration (and no sale!), you’re stuck managing payments, chasing customers, and sending files individually– it’s time-consuming, leads to lost sales, and just plain annoying! 

But here’s the difference when you use GeoSnapShot: more sales, less admin, and a streamlined process that helps your customers easily find and purchase their photos. 

Step-by-Step: How to Make Money with GeoSnapShot

From creating your first event gallery to getting paid, let’s dive into the simple steps that can help you earn while doing what you love.

1. Create Your First Event

Before your photos can start selling, you need to create a home for them—a digital gallery that your customers can visit. GeoSnapShot makes it super easy to set up your first event: 

Head to the Create Event button on your dashboard and simply fill in the details as per the article above. With just a few clicks, you’re already well on your way to setting up your sales funnel. 

Once your event is saved, congratulations! You’ve just taken your first step toward earning money from your sports photography.

2. Set the Right Price for Your Photos

Pricing your photos correctly is key to attracting more buyers while ensuring you get paid what you deserve. 

Whether you're working on a large sports event or a local game, you can tailor the prices for your photos accordingly. Set prices per photo or offer bundles for increased purchases. This flexibility ensures that you remain competitive while maximizing your revenue potential.

4. Customize Discounts to Drive Sales

Want to really boost your sales? Consider tapping into GeoSnapShot’s powerful bundles and discounts tool: an incredible feature proven to have sports photographers increase their total photo sales by 45%.  

Bundles are designed to help you sell more photos from your events by offering customers at checkout a simple way to purchase more photos of themselves from a particular event at a reduced price. You remain in control of the bundle price, and can turn it on and off for chosen events. 

So: why bundle deals?

Offering a discount encourages customers to buy more, and bundling their event photos makes it easy for them to get everything they want while increasing your sales. It’s a win-win. 

 You can choose to offer the following Bundles for customers:

• Percentage Discounts: Offer customers a particular discount off of their total order if they agree to purchase a particular number of photos e.g. 'Purchase 5 photos for 20% off!'
• Selfie Bundles: Offer customers a bundle of all of their images at a set price. 
• Multi-Tier Discounts: Choose to offer customers a particular number of photos at a fixed price e.g. 'Purchase 5 photos for $45!'

5. Preview Your Gallery to Ensure Perfection

Before you share your gallery with the world, it’s important to preview it to make sure everything looks just right. GeoSnapShot allows you to preview your event gallery exactly as your customers will see it.

Take a few moments to preview your gallery and ensure it's perfect before going public. You can learn how to preview your gallery below: 

6. Share Your Photos with Participants! 

Once your gallery is live and ready to go, it’s time to spread the word. Sharing your event gallery is one of the most effective ways to drive sales. GeoSnapShot gives you various options to share your gallery link—whether it’s via email, social media, or embedding it into a website: 

Share a direct link to your gallery with participants and event organisers. From there, they’ll be able to upload a selfie nd be instantly matched with all photos of themselves ready for purchase. 

Post your event to social media platforms, tag the athletes, and let them know where they can find their photos. The more people who know about your gallery, the better your chances of driving traffic and sales. You can also encourage athletes and their families to share the gallery themselves. 

7. Get Paid Fast

GeoSnapShot understands the importance of getting paid quickly. Once your photos are selling, GeoSnapShot’s payment system ensures you’re rewarded for your hard work without any hassle. You’ll be able to track your earnings in real-time and receive payouts directly to your account.

You can be confident that every sale leads to fast and secure payments, allowing you to focus on what you do best—taking amazing photos.

Three Tips for Maximizing Your Earnings

Promote Your Gallery Immediately – Time is of the essence. Share your gallery as soon as possible after the event so the excitement is still fresh in people’s minds.

Engage with Your Audience – Use social media and email to keep the conversation going. Encourage participants to check out the gallery and remind them that your photos are available for purchase.

Use Bundles and Discounts-  Sports photographers who implement bundle and discounts on GeoSnapShot increase their total photo sales by 45%.
