Reminders l 01-29-15

Spread the love

Three years ago when this was reliesed on the Pro4uM, “Reminders” was a new thing. Today, it is old news. However, the question is are you using it? Recently I had a commercial job where they had a very long and detailed list for me to do. By imputing that list into Reminders, I was kept very organized and on top of what I was hired to do. So, it may be old information, but new if you are not using it.

The Unexpected Client | 01-28-15

Spread the love

Just thinking in our video today about the “Unexpected Client”. This is the kind of person who is for example, just wanting a business head shot. By having a conversation, you find out that they also need additional image, a family portrait session, etc. Look for it and you can turn a $50 client into a $500 client. Our ability to sell while we are photographing is very valuable. So, look for the “Unexpected Client” and use your natural abilities to make the sale something better.

This video was released on the Pro4uM.com over 3 years ago. Can you imagine what we have been talking about since then??? With hundreds and hundreds of members and ideas that flow freely, we have a collection now of over 2,000,000 post from photographers from all over the world.

Do The Kind of Photography That You Love | 01-27-15

Spread the love

Do something you love. For example, this video shows me flying a drone. This “LOVE” is leading to jobs, and those jobs are leading to other jobs. It shows in your work, and people love hiring people who love their work. So LOVE what you do and show it.

This video was recorded over 3 years ago and was released on the Pro4uM.com. We have talked about it and analyzed it and benefited from it. Can you IMAGINE what we have been talking about since!!!

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone | 01-26-15

24

We all have a comfort zone thqy we enjoy being in with photography. It may be the 70-200 lens or it may be certain setups outside, etc. But from time to time if we step out of our comfort zone and do things that really challenge all if out skills and talents. If we do that, is is one of the ways we can grow as a professional photographer. So check out this video and see my story of getting out of our comfort zone.

This was a personal project 3 years ago to post a video inspiration every day for a year. I ended up doing it for 2 years.

Family Portrait Business | 01-24-15

Spread the love

 

Start asking your clients, everyone, about family portraits. Every person on the planet all have a unique thing, based upon photography and that thing is “Family”. Family Portraits, everyone has family.

No matter who you are on the planet, you have a family. There are certain things that all humans do, eat, sleep, clothing, etc. But you do not have to have photography, it is a luxury.

HOWEVER, we all have family, and everyone feels their family is the best. So…..here is the question you should ask every client you do work for, when was the last time you had a family portrait, one that YOU were really, really proud of? Start asking this to your clients. The most common answer may be never.

So, here we are sitting right at the right moment to show that there is love in this family. If you focus on this one aspect of photography and ask every person this question, your family portrait business will skyrocket!!! Have a brochure ready, and give it the potential client.

This concept was introduced on the Pro4uM over 3 years ago. Since then thousands and thousands of photographers have benefited from this advice. Can you imagine what we are talking about now?

Learn to say “NO” | 01-23-15

Spread the love

Say NO sometimes! When you got tons of catchup to do, it happens that someone comes in and wants to interact. They need you to do images, or do a job, or something. But, sometimes you just have to say no and do the job on another day. To stay organized and to keep everything moving in the right direction with you and your business, you will need to learn the word NO.

Such a simple concept?! But so many photographers do not know even the most basic of business such as this. We talk about business and we help photographers grow into strong, productive business people on the Pro4uM.com

This video was produced and talked about over 3 years ago. Can you imagine what we have been talking about since then. We have over 2,000,000 posts on the Pro4uM for the last 25 years. Why not do yourself and your business a favor and join our community of experts.

There is nothing like the education you get when you physically attend a photography event. One of the very best examples of this is at SYNC. This is one of the best shows out there. The energy, the electricity, it is great!!! Nothing beats face to face education. Sure learning some things here on YouTube or Facebook is great. But face to face is still THE BEST!!! Then follow that up with interaction on the Pro4uM is the way to go!!! Here my views and feelings in this video.

Bundling For More Profit | 01-20-15

Spread the love

When it comes to professional photography and selling what we do to clients, it is obvious that things have seriously changed. People used to want all kinds of things from us. However today, people are wanting less and less of the products that we sell. The single greatest thing that it seems people want are digital files for posting to social media. In this video I discuss the concept of selling those digital files bundled with other things that people want. Thanks for watching my videos.
