Answer these two questions and you’ll see why families need a photo coach to help them organize and preserve their most cherished photos, videos and other files.
- Can you easily find–and share–your family’s most cherished photos, videos, slide shows, audio?
- Do you know how you’ll safely pass your family’s memories to future generations, like your grandchildren and their grandchildren?
Maybe you’re highly organized and know the best way to leave your legacy but most families don’t.
Successful businesses solve a problem and fulfill needs. Let’s look into photo coaching to see how it benefits families.
Why photo coaching is a profitable home business
I offer two key services: digitizing and permanent storage.
A photo coach is a profitable home-based business to start because you help families declutter and digitize their old photos, videos, and other files that are stored in boxes and envelopes in closet shelves, garages, and storage units.
Help them permanently store their old files and their newest photos and videos.
You make it possible for them to tell their story and safely pass their most meaningful memories to the next generations, meaning their children, grandchildren, and their children.
I started my photo coaching business in March 1995, so I’ll be observing 30 years in just a few months from now. It’s an important business milestone and I’ll show you how to get started using a powerful service, FOREVER®.
My goal as a photo coach
I care deeply that you and I save the stories of our lives as seen in our photos, VHS tapes, old home movies, and through the information we uncover in our family research.
You’re aiding the well-being of many.
We live in a fragmented and disjointed society that’s always rushing and noisy but often lacks purpose. Family can ground us and give a sense of stability.
But how do you do that when your photos are on social media or with companies charging you a monthly fee and they don’t promise to be around in the next 20 to 30 years?
That’s one of the reasons I use FOREVER® with its many benefits:
- State-of-the-art digitization services with outstanding customer care.
- Permanent storage, guaranteed (scroll down to read more).
- A platform making it easy-to-find and easy-to-share your memories with family and friends.
- Space to write brief or detailed stories about each file so future generations will know who is in the photo or video and why it’s significant.
- Create printed photo books using your stored, digital files.
- Research your family using FOREVER®’s professional genealogists.
Summary: It’s the most complete, and safest all-in-one memory-keeping system available.
What to know about digital storage
We’ll likely agree that digital storage is good to preserve your family’s memories. But digital storage isn’t always safe.
Storing photos and videos on your laptop, smartphone, and external hard drive is one type of digital storage. However, some problems can happen.
You can lose any electronic device and the device can break, get damaged, or get stolen. I’ve know a friend who got robbed. She had gone to pick up one of her children after school and was only gone for about 15 minutes. In that brief time, thieves took her camera with SD card full of recent photos, plus her external hard drive connected to her laptop filled with memories that were backed-up.
Social media is temporary digital storage and you don’t have control over the platform. Did you know that companies offering free or low paid services will compress the original images and use the data for marketing and advertising purposes?
Did you know that many own the digital rights to your photos and videos because you store with them giving them that right?
That’s why I use FOREVER® for my family and with my clients.
Guaranteed Storage
You own your digital rights. Your content is safe and it won’t be used for data mining or other advertising purposes.
FOREVER® is designed to last a lifetime, plus 100 years and the goal is having your files last beyond that time frame. It’s guaranteed storage in the cloud.
Files are triple-backed up, secure, and FOREVER® will migrate our files that become obsolete to newer file formats thanks to the FOREVER® Guarantee Fund with no extra cost to you and your heirs.
They have the tech side figured out.
I know the leadership at FOREVER® and I can say they have the users’ best interests and long-term needs at the heart of their operation.
Is photo coaching right for you?
What are you looking for in a home business?
I chose photo coaching as a young mother because it gave me the satisfaction of helping families tell their stories, the ability to stay home with my young children, and yet gave me the professional challenge of building a business that has endured for three decades.
Let’s think it through and ask:
- Why do I want a home-based business?
- What type of income do I realistically expect to generate?
- How much am I willing and able to invest? (hint: a photo coaching business using FOREVER® is a low investment with a high profit potential)
- How many hours a week can I dedicate to the business?
- Am I personally interested in telling family stories?
- Would I like my own files to be organized?
- What am I passionate about?
- Does researching my family history have some or lots of appeal?
Do you have an existing services business?
Photo coaching using FOREVER® is a proven way to add a positive revenue stream to your existing portfolio of services.
Photographers, organizers, IT professionals, financial planners, estate planners, insurance agents, graphic designers and more have successfully leveraged FOREVER® to help existing clients protect family memories.

The future looks bright for photo coaching as a business since many families have the clutter of old files needing digitized and new files needing organized and stored permanently.
