Hey everyone,
I’ve got a spare iPad Air 5th gen and I’m thinking about starting a digital-only photo booth business in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Plan is to start small with drop-off booths, post daily on Facebook Marketplace, then slowly scale with more units and eventually connect with venues/event planners.

From what I’ve seen:
Software is around $20/month
Booth shells are about $1k–$2k
I’m comfortable investing around $2.5k total

Would love to hear from people who started this way:

How much did you make in your first few months?
What marketing worked best early on?
Biggest lessons or mistakes?
Is Facebook Marketplace actually effective?

Appreciate anyone willing to share their experience in advance.
