We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a stock photography business:

#1: Viktor Hanacek, founder of picjumbo:

We chatted with with Viktor, founder of picjumbo ($10K/month). In our interview, Viktor says:

A brilliant product is useless if no one knows about it.

Additionally:

I consider cash flow monitoring to be extremely important. When you make a lot of money you can overlook it easily. Now I have spreadsheets for all cash flows, even personal ones, and I know exactly how much money I'll have in my account next month.

Further:

Spend 50% of your time creating content and 50% of your time distributing it.

Also:

Learn to delegate things as soon as you can. I still don't do it and I'm 100% sure it's holding me back the most.

#2: Serban Enache, founder of Free Stock Images :

We chatted with with Serban, founder of Free Stock Images ($0/month). In our interview, Serban says:

Not hiring talented people soon enough or hiring the wrong people and having to start all over, avoiding making leaps of faith, and being overcautious are some of the things that may change the course of your business for better or worse.

Additionally:

Never postpone a project. A great feature is one that is live, collecting data, and working for your business.
