She Earns $100 Per Hour Organizing Photos

Cheryl DiFrank runs My Memory File, tag line…

Helping to organize, preserve and share your photo memories.

In other words, she gets paid to organize other people’s photos 🤑

Cheryl revealed in a recent interview that she charges $100/hr for the service and earns 6 figures a year.

🚀 How it started…

She was helping a friend organize digital photos when the friend suggested she do it as a job.

(Side note: what do you help friends with? Or what do they compliment you on? Could there be a business there?)

Initially skeptical, Cheryl discovered there was an entire association dedicated to photo organizing called The Photo Managers…

Cheryl found that as soon as she told people what she did, their reaction was often, “Oh my gosh, I had no idea that I could hire somebody to do this!”

The demand stems from the overwhelming nature of organizing photos. It’s a similar idea to how we don’t want to clean our homes even though we’re capable because we just don’t have the bandwidth to do it.

And photo organizing is a much, much bigger project—a much more emotional project for many people.

Cheryl helps her clients in 3 ways 👇

– Print photos: Organizing physical photos, often older family photos stored in attics or basements.

– Digital photo organizing: Sorting and organizing photos on phones, hard drives, and camera cards.

– Scanning or digitizing photos: Converting physical photos to digital format.

📈 Growing the business…

Cheryl has found success using local listservs and neighborhood groups to spread the word about her services.

These platforms, like NextDoor or local Facebook groups, are great for reaching potential clients in your area

Sounds like this business could work in lots of places.
