Is Personal Photo Organizing Right for You?

Being a Personal Photo Organizer provides freedom.  It is work that fits your life rather than your life fitting a job. And the job is not just about organizing—in fact, many of The Photo Organizers didn’t consider themselves organized people when they began their career track.  Photo organizing lets your creative side shine, too.

A career as a Personal Photo Organizer is a perfect opportunity for anyone who enjoys working with people and who has the time and interest to learn a new creative skill. Personal Photo Organizers are men and women from all walks of life and backgrounds – from photo professionals with years of experience to those returning to the work force or those just entering the work force for the first time. Regardless of your background, photo organization can be a profitable and meaningful career that provides you with the flexibility to choose when and where you work.

What Does a Personal Photo Organizer Do?

A Personal Photo Organizer acts as his or her own small business owner, providing photo organization services to individuals who need help organizing, storing and sharing their photos in secure and memorable ways. As an independent business owner, a Personal Photo Organizer will work to manage and grow the business, the finances and schedules while serving clients with the support of the tools and resources available in the Appo membership package. The services you provide as a Photo Organizer are only limited by your imagination and willingness to learn, but here are a few typical services most organizers provide:

• Organize photographs, digital images, and memorabilia
• Digitize and scan old media
• Install software, create backup systems
• Create archiving systems
• Use online tools such as Linea for managing photo collections
• Create albums, digital photo books, custom photo gifts, cards, etc.
