In this episode, Kristin answers questions submitted by our audience and also discusses some of YOUR answers from some of the questions we posed to YOU. Questions like: How do I get started? Should I niche? How do I get more clients? What amount of money in your bank account would make you feel safe? And if you were a mythological god or goddess, what curses would you place on those who wronged you? We have a lot of fun digging in to these and more. 

We introduce next weeks' challenge: 5 Days to More Photo Clients - where we'll be releasing one episode every day next week with an accompanying worksheet and email prompt to break you out of any ruts or marketing frustrations and to focus on what really brings opportunities in the doors. 

To join the challenge, just stay right here and tune in, and to grab the challenge worksheets, put your email HERE.

Everyone has been asking the question, "how do I get more clients?" and it can be such a frustrating place to be when we want to be creating beautiful work we're proud of and inquiries are like crickets. In this solo episode we're focusing on how to get more clients in the door and ways to do this while staying aligned and not burning out on every new marketing trend.

Kristin goes in to the 5 different parts of marketing that are so important for creating a sustainable business.

She discusses the one client that created a huge avalanche of inquiries.

She also mentions the branding "A Ha!" moment that popped the comparison bubble.
