A lot of photographers are struggling right now.  Maybe you’ve just come out of lockdown. Maybe you have just gone back in.

Maybe life is starting to get back into a semblance of normal again.

Regardless of where you are or how you’ve been affected, we’ve all been thrown into some level of uncertainty. Especially with our businesses.

You might have heard yourself say things like

“Noone has money right now”

“I feel like I am being insensitive if I market my business right now”

“People will think I’m slimy or scammy if I try to sell to them at the moment”

“I can’t sell anything because we don’t know when we can do the shoot”

Maybe you had a fully booked calendar and you’ve heard yourself say things like

“All my shoots have cancelled so I have no money coming in”

“I’ve just had to refund thousands of dollars”

Or maybe you’re at the beginning of your photography business journey and you’ve heard yourself say things like

“I was just about to start my business, but now I will just wait now until things go back to normal”

Hands up if you’ve said anything of these recently??

I have LOTS of amazing stories about my clients getting extraordinary results.

And such as $9,200 in her first month in business when she had never done a paid shoot before.

Like $29,437 in 2 weeks in the middle of lockdown.

And like $17,202 in one month when her usual months were $3000-$4000.

Like $75,000 in just 3 days.

These fast and big results might seem impossible for you right now, however here is a simple rule that I have followed ever since I worked as for Deloitte as a graduate straight out of uni.

“Success leaves clues” Tony Robbins

When you find someone who has succeeded before, you just need to model what they do.

And ALL of the success stories of photographers I share with you have followed one specific framework:

My 6 Step F/STOPS Framework™ for Bookings and Shoots on Autopilot

Today I’m sharing this framework - which is usually part of my paid program, the Photography Business Accelerator, but as an early listener of the SHoot Booking Secrets podcast, you get to learn this system for free!

Having clearly defined answers to these two simple questions are VITAL to the success of your photography business.

There are two foundational questions that every business owner needs to define and be able to easily communicate before they even THINK about promoting their photoshoots.

If photographers skip asking themselves these questions, this is what usually happens:

They feel overwhelmed, they feel unmotivated, they say they don’t know what to write about in social media, they struggle with knowing what niche to focus on, they feel like their market is saturated - and the biggest problem - no one is buying from them.

Today we’re covering why the amount of time, money, effort and energy required to create a website, is disproportionate to the impact and results of that time, money, effort and energy. And I share a better, faster, easier and more effective way to convert enquiries into clients.

If photographers aren’t using this alternative way - either in addition to or instead of your website, then the odds of success in today’s online climate are pretty slim.
