This week I welcome Laura Pearman to the show.

She's a photographer who specialises in headshots.

If you're in business, have a website and use social media you should consider investing in some killer headshots to elevate your brand

Welcome to episode 135 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.

We chat about:

• Why finding your niche is important and why Laura decided to focus on headshots
• Why you need killer headshots for your website and social media profiles

She genuinely believes, and can prove, that a killer headshot can grow your business and make you money.
