November 16, 2021 07. Building a profitable business
How to build a profitable business?
Being profitable is a key part of having a sustainable business. Common thoughts about increasing profit include selling more and rising prices. Both can be really good, but I want to talk about a couple of other things now in this episode. Paying yourself first and reducing expenses.
Without profit and without paying yourself, you don’t really have a business. I made that BIG mistake in the beginning. Now I made a system, and I’ll know exactly how much I get paid every month. And paying myself is the main priority. I set aside money for taxes, and I focus on spending less.
Listen to the full episode and check out the show notes, where we'll dive into how to adapt that system into your business and improve your financial situation!

November 02, 202105. Book more clients by creating an experience
How to book more clients by creating an experience?
Taking beautiful photos is not enough to be a successful photographer anymore and you might think that the only solution to get more clients is reducing your prices.
Instead of feeling that lowering your prices to compete for clients is the only way, consider creating an experience for your client. And focus on what you’re offering other than just a nice photo. That way you’re not just selling a nice photo. You’re giving them something MORE.
Imaging a standard photography session. The photography itself, the photos, and everything you do to get the expressions and emotions you’re looking for. You can sell that same photography package as:
A product
A service
An experience
Or a feeling
Find out how to sell your services in a different way and offer MORE VALUE to your customer listening to the full episode!
