Photo Field Notes Podcast: Career Advice for Photographers

Today on the podcast, I’m talking about why photographs should be over-communicating with their clients every step of the way. I’m telling you how many touch points I have with my clients, when I get in touch with them to create a great client experience and set expectations, and what to do when things go wrong with a client project.

A few weeks ago on the podcast, I talked about my focused marketing method to build an evergreen foundation for your marketing. Since then, I’ve read a few comments from photographers on Facebook wondering if blogging is “dead” now that people are thoroughly distracted by other forms of social media.

So today I’m sharing why blogging is far from dead. In fact, it’s a brilliant way to market your business and repurpose content to make your client experience the best that it can be. Listen in to find out how.

Last week on the podcast, I talked about why you should focus on mastering one marketing tactic at a time before putting all of your energy into social media. This week, I’m talking with photographer and photography social media educator, Cyrissa Carlson, about how she uses social media as the main mode of marketing her photography business.

Give it a listen, and weigh in with your thoughts. Send me a message through Instagram, and let me know what you think (you might hear your comment read in a future show). Should photographers hold off on going all in on social media until they’re mastered SEO, blogging and getting published, or should they jump full force into social media as the main photography marketing tactic?
