Your videos have already proven to be so invaluable. As a stay at home mom on a budget, having this kind of free education available to me from trusted photographers is just priceless. Thank you!
#1 strategy I will now do - giving them something to download immediately. I am a family photog, so am thinking a guide to dressing and also keeping kids happy and having fun during the shoot (maybe mentioning to Mom to not "yell" at the kids during the shoot, the #1 thing that happens and then the twinkle in the kids' eye is gone for the rest of the shoot, maybe my fault for not providing enough instruction but I love the spontaneous moments, gotta find the balance). Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!!
How does this not have more likes? Very detailed and motivational, I’m now securing my domain again after years of being out of the game. Thank you for this!
Your unique offers were really insightful and so smart!! I want to do the video testimonials after my shoots. Especially high key for reels on social media and then overlay some videos of bts with their voice over
Hi Ryan, thanks for showing the open doors I wasn't aware of. It helps me to improve my website. I watch a topic and review my for that topic website and improve right away? This must have results!
Great video! Will add the book a call feature. I already have it so that it comes up right after they submit their contact sheet. What you're suggesting is more straightforward, so will do that!
I was at home yesterday I didn't go to work I remembered I saw this video and I watched it, I was amazed ❤️ your wisdom in this is amazing 🙌# South Africa
Okay, I just watched one of your other videos, then this one (not all the way through it, yet) and let me tell you WHAT! I am so excited! I had an amazing idea and am so excited to combine a few of my different passions in a unique way, that I'm not sure anyone else has done/ is doing!!!! like at all!!!!! THANK YOU!! all love!!!!

Hello, for info, the Embed video on your post says " live event is over" and no way to watch it. Links to TH-cam homepage, not your channel. Thought to type Signature edit's to find it on your TH-cam channel ;)
Oh wow sorry about that Hana! Which post was it? Facebook? Email? I'm trying to figure out which link is broken so I can fix it! Glad the video was helpful!
Wow thanks so much! Honestly the paid stuff just goes much deeper into specific tactics, and the HOW TO of executing on this stuff. Plus there are a ton of marketing & branding templates, email templates, posing guides & presets to speed things up along the way.
OK. Good info ... and I have a question ... so, I do not do any type of party, benefit, wedding, business, or other style or type of imagery. My singular focus is to produce intriguing and unique "art photography". Barns, back doors, deteriorating steel mills & their environs, etc., etc. It's strictly artwork. And made to hang on the interior walls of any dwelling, e.g., business foyers, offices, private homes, waiting rooms ... you get the idea, I think. So, following that direction, how do your "9 Things" apply? Or do you have a few different things for such a list? Have not before watched any of your videos, though I do enjoy what I have seen so far. Nice work. TY in advance.
Hey! Late getting back to you but good question Honestly they all apply pretty much the same. It’s been a while since I made this video so I couldn’t list the exact 9 top of my head, BUT overall… Social proof - Testimonials about the quality of your prints, or about the service you gave a client in designing the layout of their wall gallery. Images showing the before and after of a space transformed with your art. Logos of clients and businesses you have your art displayed at. Stuff like that… pretty much all of them can be applied to any type of photography!
Bra! This content is fucking dynamite.... actually glad its got way less views than it should have because that means im ahead of the competition having watched it :D
some of this stuff is so basic ... the number of website homepages for bars , photographers , restaurants, models etc ... that make **zero** mention of where the hell they are located !
Haha oh man - I REALLY want to see this 2 meter white beard. The key is: Lean IN to who you are - Rock that beard, lean in to what makes you different and unique, and that will naturally self select the clients who connect with you
2:46: 1 Thing that your photo website must NOT have: Glaring spelling errors. If your photographer is so careless or stupid to publish a video without running spellcheck, what else are they going to screw up? They can't be trusted with your special day.
So I went to download the tips and I knew I would have to give you my email address, which I was willing to. But then you wanted me to set up an account to get what you had promised. I left the website because at hate when a website doesn’t follow through with a promise to supply something simply. So I didn’t look at anything else you offered either. This is the same way I feel every time I keep getting another step added or another pop up trying to sell me something. So I suppose I am not your ideal customer.
Hey Stephanie! Thank you so much for this feedback - I totally get that feeling of not wanting to sign up for things. I didn't code the software myself so it actually asks you to create the account automatically, I can't actually turn that off! All that to say, if you DO decide to go back and grab your guide, you can do so, enter your email and name+password and that's literally all there is... After that, feel free to delete the "account" Hope this helps!
I think I'd suggest looking at how well multiple things is going as a business strategy, then go from there. It's far easier to grow ONE business than several... So if you find 50% of your revenue is coming from one style of photography, and the other 8 only make 5-10% of your income, probably you'd get better results from putting all your effort behind the ONE type, or choosing the one you most enjoy doing. I'd make THAT the focus of the site, and then have smaller sections showcasing the other work. Just my 2 cents!
The first thing you show is a major typographical error which leads me to think, how many of these comments and your 'followers' have you paid for? Additionally Instagram is not a portfolio.
haha whoops! first, no I haven't paid for any comments... Is that a thing? 2 - Goes to show you that apparently major typographical errors aren't as important as the work itself. Also - A portfolio is just a collection of work. Doesn't matter where it is - Whether that's ig, tiktok, a website or a printed album. But totally fine to disagree - You might be right!
Hey Susan! If you mean watermarks, Imo no. I dont like the feel it gives the site, and if people are trying to steal your images, they wouldnt have bought anything anyways. But that said, uploading lower res photos vs full res is a good option which prevents prints
Great advice, I did not know most of them and I know something about SEO ... My two pages of wedding and family photography, for most of the phrases I am interested in, are on Google 1 and half in the top three! Thanks for it !!!

I had the same experience coming from the email. I, too, searched signature edits and found this.
I'm always wondering how you can give even more assistance in your payed section. This is already so great :D
Getting close to buying your set

Q: Style shoots - can you recommend a place where I can find models and makeup artists. I don’t have a portfolio.
facebook groups in each city normally have a group for them! post TFP (trade for photos) with a vision board of inspo shots for the shoot :)
Is your voice auto tuned?
some of this stuff is so basic ... the number of website homepages for bars , photographers , restaurants, models etc ... that make **zero** mention of where the hell they are located !
Looks like Michael J Fox
Lol I've heard that before!
25:38 Duck it!
Im almost 2 meters whit big beard, almost all the time people go to the outher side of the road when they notice me...
Haha oh man - I REALLY want to see this 2 meter white beard. The key is: Lean IN to who you are - Rock that beard, lean in to what makes you different and unique, and that will naturally self select the clients who connect with you
@@SignatureEdits 2 meter tall with big beard... just im in a hurry :D sorry
@@Rohambili DANG! I was REALLY digging the idea of a 2m white beard swaying in the wind - Like Gandalfs wiser father! ;)
@@SignatureEdits nah! thats not gonna be cool on my loved roadbike...
too much air resistance

Incredible wealth of information

05:05 I agree with you. What would you suggest to someone who does multiple things? One domain with subdomains, or separate domains?
I think I'd suggest looking at how well multiple things is going as a business strategy, then go from there.
It's far easier to grow ONE business than several... So if you find 50% of your revenue is coming from one style of photography, and the other 8 only make 5-10% of your income, probably you'd get better results from putting all your effort behind the ONE type, or choosing the one you most enjoy doing.

hello! Great information. Should you copyright photos to protect?
