On-air mentoring session - How to start monetising your creative work!

In today's episode (164) of the EAT, CAPTURE, SHARE podcast, you'll be listening in on another creative business mentoring session. I’m working one-on-one with Kerri — a food photographer and recipe developer at the very start of her career – to explore ways of monetising her content and finding paying food photography clients. If you're unsure how to get your food photography business off the ground, or feel lost when it comes to marketing your food photography or food content creation services, then this episode is for you!

Here's what else you can expect from today's episode...
