    Josh Pather started a photo booth rental business as a side hustle in 2012. Within three years, his company was doing 850 events a year-and that was just the start of the growth spurt that landed it on Inc. 5000’s list of the fastest-growing companies in Texas in 2020. Josh talks us through the steps in his entrepreneurial journey in this episode.
    The idea to start a photo booth business came to Josh while he was working as an event DJ. He built his first photo booth from scratch and started renting it out for weekend events, all while working a job for a large company during the week. When his job was moved overseas, Josh took this as a sign it was time to focus on his business full-time.
    By 2015, Josh was facing the best problem a business owner can have: He had more business than he could handle, with as many as 10 events happening on any given Saturday. He was also getting a lot of inquiries from people wondering where they could buy photo booths. This gave Josh the idea to start Photo Booth International, giving entrepreneurs a turnkey model they could use to start photo booth businesses of their own.
    Josh credits his business growth to a combination of hard work and his marketing expertise. In this interview, he’ll talk through the marketing strategy he used to build a customer base early on, and how he adjusted that strategy when he expanded into selling photo booths to entrepreneurs. We’ll also learn about some of the biggest challenges he faced when starting the business and how he overcame them to achieve such impressive growth.

      I saw a RUclips vlogger in Korea who went to a photo booth store that had a bunch of these set up with costumes to put on and different stuff to make the photo fun and thought that would be good to bring to the west . Even set it up in a touristy area . 100% would make money .

    im sorry this is bullshit. as a photobooth operator 12 years in business, most people charges about $600 to $1500 in 3 hours. don't be mislead. photobooth does make money and is easy. but the amount promised in this video is misleading.
