Scalability: Above average

Stock photography and video licensing businesses can be highly scalable for solo operators. Once you have built a portfolio, you can continue to earn passive income as more customers purchase your images and videos. The key limitation for solo operators is the initial time investment required to create and upload high-quality content. However, once the content is online, it can continue to generate income without much additional effort. Many individuals have found success scaling their stock photography businesses through online platforms and social media promotion.
