Your business, your rules

This isn't a franchise. You're not wearing a uniform or following a script. You set your own prices, work your own hours, and build relationships with clients your way.

  • Set your own pricing Charge what makes sense for your market. Most partners charge $0.25-$0.50 per photo for scanning plus a project fee.
  • Work your own hours Part-time side hustle or full-time business—you decide. Many partners start with weekends and grow from there.
  • Serve your community Build your business locally. Many of your best clients will come from word-of-mouth referrals.

Common questions

How much does it cost to join the Scan Network?

There's a one-time certification fee of $149 that covers your training materials and certification exam. After that, you pay only for Phossil processing on a per-photo basis (around $0.05/photo for AI processing and storage).

Do I need experience with photo scanning?

No prior experience required! Our training program covers everything from equipment setup to client communication. If you're detail-oriented and comfortable with technology, you can learn the rest.

How much can I realistically earn?

It depends on your market and how much time you invest. Part-time partners (10-15 hrs/week) typically earn $500-$1,500/month. Full-time partners have reported $3,000-$5,000+/month in established markets.

Is there a minimum commitment?

No minimums. Complete the training, set up your service, and work as much or as little as you want. Some partners do just a few projects per month as a side income.

What equipment do I need to start?

At minimum: a quality flatbed scanner ($200-500), a computer with 8GB+ RAM, and reliable internet. Our starter kit guide helps you choose the right equipment for your budget and goals.

Can I do this if I don't have a car?

Yes! Many partners have clients drop off and pick up photos at their home. You can also offer mail-in service for clients outside your immediate area.
