Scaling a Brand, Navigating Burnout, and Finding Your Why with Joanie Simon of The Bite Shot. ----- Welcome to episode 521 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Joanie Simon from The Bite Shot.  Joanie Simon of The Bite Shot on Scaling, Burnout, and Finding Joy Again In this week's episode, Joanie gets real about the not-so-glamorous side of turning a creative passion into a full-on business. She shares how her love for food photography grew into something much bigger (and messier!) than she expected, from hiring a team to navigating the financial and emotional rollercoaster that comes with scaling. Spoiler: it wasn't always smooth sailing, but it was 100% worth the ride! We also explore the tricky balance between staying creative and keeping up with the structure a business demands. Joanie opens up about burnout, the pressure to please everyone, and how she lost touch with her audience along the way. Through mentoring, self-care, and redefining what success actually looks like, she's found her way back to her “why” — and she's sharing what that process really looked like. Three episode takeaways: Growth can be messy, but so worth the effort!: Joanie shares how her food photography side hustle grew into a full-blown business, including the ups and downs of hiring a team, dealing with new responsibilities, and learning from the messy parts of scaling. The tug of war between creativity and structure: From chasing inspiration to juggling deadlines, Joanie talks about how building a business can sometimes smother the creative spark and how she's working to find a balance that actually fuels both. How Joanie reconnected with her why: Joanie opens up about people-pleasing, burnout, and losing touch with her audience — and how mentoring, self-care, and redefining success helped her get back to what really matters.

I'm not as good as the others. Why would a client work with me?I still don't know my style. I'm so behind. Should I quote lower so I don't lose the client? I post regularly on Instagram but no one engages with my content anymore.I feel so lonely on this journey. Who do I speak to?These are a few of the thoughts that keep us awake at night. Worst is, sometimes these thoughts get so loud in our heads that they amplify our doubt in ourselves, leading us to believe that we are not cut out for running a business. If you've any doubts about running or creating a business that trouble you, this week's podcast episode is exactly what you need right now. Imagine hanging out with your favourite photographer or blogger and asking them the questions that make you doubt your future as a business owner. This episode is exactly that. It is a conversation with successful creatives about their biggest challenge while building a business and how they overcame it. Here's a lineup of your favourites from Joanie Simon and Jordan Hughes to Suze Morrison and Anja Burgar etc. sharing how they overcame these hurdles in their journey. It's the beginning of the year and a good time to cut our ties with self-doubt, pricing problems, confidence issues, tough money talks, and social media frustrations. This episode has answers for all of those. Challenges in business do not spare anyone. But the comforting part is that we all go through almost the same challenges, hiccups, and doubts. Which means, the answer to our question already exists. Someone already went through it and found a way to answer, tackle, and overcome it. Hear what our experts have to say. You'll walk away feeling empowered & reassured of your value.Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available at https://www.myfoodlens.com/blog/109-pricing-photography-instagram-the-answers-you-need-to-grow-your-businessHave a question?

Tell me that you've never tried to find market rates for photography services.That you've never tried to google, “rates for food photography services.”That you've never been totally confused about the fee structure for photography.You have. Haven't you? Because that's what happens with all of us. When we are starting out there is a huge question mark that appears in our minds and it's all about money. Unfortunately, there are no benchmarks, no rules, no standards and no information available online or easily that we can use as a guide to price our work - which makes it crazy difficult to know whether we are doing it right or not. That's why, today we continue our conversation with Joanie Simon on everything about pricing and setting our rates. This episode is part 2 of the pricing series and it is more power packed than you can imagine. In this episode,  Joanie digs a little deeper and gets into the specifics of negotiating & increasing rates. We discuss how to know if you're overcharging or undercharging,  when to work for free and big mistakes to avoid when setting your rates.Oh and she shares an experience that completely changed the way she priced her work. This part will blow your mind.Setting your fee when you're starting out is as tough as increasing your fee as you move forward in your journey. At every stage of our creative business, we are posed with fee-related situations that require us to be strong and confident.As creative photographers, we just want to take pretty photos. Looking at rate cards or excel sheets or expenses isn't exactly our favorite part. But the truth is that, if we are not making money, we cannot call ourselves a business. Money is as important as everything else and dealing with it with confidence is essential. It is not easy but also not tough. This episode will  give you that boost and also a peek into the world of pricing in food photography.

What was the first question you had when you decided to start working with clients?“How much should I charge?”“How do I know what to charge?” “What should be the fee?”Something to this effect,  would you agree? Aren't pricing and rates one of the toughest aspects of setting up a food blogging or photography business? Fee is the number#1 reason we are overwhelmed & nervous when starting out as a business. It gives us sleepless nights.That's why I have our favorite food photographer, Joanie Simon joining us today to talk all about pricing your work as a food photographer. She walks us through all the different ways of setting our rates, how to approach pricing, which projects to take up, how to  talk to clients, what to include in a proposal and how to address overtime work. If you're a content creator working with clients or wish to work with clients, this episode is not to be missed.Money is an awkward topic, it is the toughest part to wrap around in your business. Joanie is a pro food photographer who has been in the market long enough to tell us the best way to approach pricing and the shortcut to doing it the right way because the last thing we want is the pressure of money to suck away the joy of creating.Good news is that business and creativity can co-exist and thrive too, as long as we know how to approach it. ​ Read more at https://myfoodlens.comFollow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at  https://myfoodlens.com/58-how-to-price-your-work-as-a-food-photographer-part-1Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

Today's guest, Joanie Simon, shares how taking the leap to start her food blog and food photography career changed her life! In addition to finding more engaging work, Joanie also started a YouTube channel to share her food photography experiences with a few other people and then it took off! Now Joanie's channel, The Bite Shot, has over 80K subscribers and has increased Joanie's reach dramatically!

Oh, my guest today, oh my word! Tricia Arce! She is half of the duo with her spouse Hazel who owns The Toasted Mallow. I was introduced to Tricia a few weeks ago by a mutual friend, Joanie Simon, who I also interviewed for this podcast. Tricia is kind of like Barbara Huson, who is another good friend of mine that is on this podcast, but she’s one of these people that there are so much depth and substance. I had never met this woman, didn’t know she existed before Joanie introduced us. We sat and we had our hot tea and our coffee and just immediately started talking about this really deep stuff, and our past, our history, and being entrepreneurs. She’s just amazing. I think, as women entrepreneurs, we can learn so much from each other and she’s got so much to offer. She is again, the co-owner of The Toasted Mallow which was launched as a home-based business in 2013 by she and her wife Hazel. The demand grew organically through farmers markets, an amazing social media. They actually took the startup from Etsy to a retail location and they now ship nationally. Their social media is incredible, so authentic, so real, and so good. We talk about how the loss of her grandmother really propelled her forward in creating her business because before that, she really just wanted to climb the corporate ladder and realized that there were other things that she wanted to be doing. That brought her joy. We also talk about overcoming self-doubt and how authenticity is really key. You can’t force it in business and have it resonate with your audience. I hope you enjoy it.

Joanie Simon is more than just a leading food photographer and educator. She’s been featured on The Food Network, has a popular YouTube Channel, and recently launched a wildly successful new Instagram account, @thebiteshot, focusing on food photography education. She’s already accumulated more than 12 and a half thousand followers - a number that’s steadily growing. But beyond the success, Joanie is a gifted, quality human being and woman who loves to inspire others to do what they’re creatively equipped to do. But in order to really get a feel for who Joanie is and how authenticity rocketed her to success, first we need to take a look at where she started.

Joanie Simon teaches people about food photography through her online platform The Bite Shot, which includes a rapidly growing YouTube channel and a Facebook community.  She shares lessons from her kitchen studio, along with wild and crazy glimpses of life with two little boys and her college sweetheart on their “Ranchito” in Arizona. Among her greatest joys in life is coaching people through the growing pains of learning food photography and seeing them create images they're eager to share with the world. Joanie left a high-stress job in technology sales to pursue her creative passions in food and photography and can’t wait to help others do the same.
