I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, marketing is storytelling over and over again. In this day and age marketing is both easier and harder than it’s ever been before because it’s all about storytelling. When your marketing plan is unclear, and there is no story being told it just doesn't exist. 

There are several things to consider when looking to implement and deploy your marketing strategy. For example, what does your user experience look like on your website, what social media platforms are you investing your time on, do you have SEO and several others. 

In this episode, we’re going to cover the factors to consider in the implementation of your marketing plan after you’ve worked through the other pillars I’ve mentioned in the first 3 parts of this series. 

And if you’re interested in diving deeper into each of these pillars, come join us in my course, Launch to Livelihood!

Design is so much more than your logo, typography and your brand colors. In this 3 of our 5-part series, we’re going deeper and thinking wider about the design of your business.

Beyond the aesthetic piece of designing your business is what I call, design functionality. Similar to brand identity, marketing materials and web design, the design functionality of your business is just as critical in building your business.

Both equally important, design aesthetic encompasses the LOOK of your business while design functionality encompasses the FEEL of your business, i.e. What draws people to your business based on how it makes them feel, and also, how it makes you feel? Designing your business to fit with your personal life and your long-term goals and visions, and finding ideal clients that fit your personality type and the types of people you enjoy being around. Never forget, people will hire you for you, not your photography, so design it in a way that aligns with who you are. 

I also share some staggering facts about user experience and your website that will help you consider the design piece of your business. 

In the last episode, we talked about the foundation of your business and the very first pillar of marketing your business, DISCOVERY. Make sure to give that a listen if you haven’t already.

This 5 part series is a Birdseye view of my Launch to Livelihood Course. I’m sharing this episode series with you to give you a taste of what we go into during the course, and if you’re interested in growing your photography business click the link below to learn more!
