Friend, for the past couple of years, I have been doing website reviews and content feedback (on my Patreon), and I keep seeing the same mistakes made over and over again.

I want to be clear and say that done is better than perfect, so if you’re doing your best to publish a blog post, you go! But hopefully, this list episode can give you some insight into how to make your blog posts better for SEO and client experience.

If you are a busy photographer and understand the value of blogging but don’t have the time to do so, get in touch with Nicole from Lattes For Lunch. She specializes in blogging and SEO for wedding pros.

Today’s episode is a bit different, as I've invited a previous client of mine to share her experience booking a photographer for her engagement session.

I photographed Dilihana and her fiance, David, in December, a few months after her initial inquiry. The reason I wanted to hear her point of view was that after presenting my pricing, she politely mentioned that unfortunately, she was going with another photographer based on her budget.

However, a gut feeling and perceived value made her reevaluate her original decision and book my services instead, despite the price difference.

This candid conversation is filled with valuable insights on what future clients are looking for and the little things that make a difference.

You might be wondering why are we talking about impostor syndrome and mindset in a marketing podcast, and well the reason why is because if we don’t feel secure in who we are as artist/business owners we can’t have a thriving business.

Let me introduce you to Dave Moss, a wedding photographer turned business and life coach for adventurous humans who want to improve both their lives and their businesses, and in today’s episode we are chatting about how to beat impostor syndrome and cultivate a positive mindset so you can experience more joy in your life, and obviously, have fun in your business.

Since art is subjective, there are always people that will find our work beautiful, while others will think it’s pure trash, and obviously, this can make us feel self-conscious and unsure about our abilities. But as you all know I love some actionable steps and in today’s episode, Dave shares with all of us some tools and tips we can apply right now, to beat imposter syndrome and cultivate a positive mindset.

Friend although this podcast it’s all about marketing, today we are taking this conversation to a topic that I love, and that overall can help you be a better photographer: Meditation.

While scrolling IG I came across Marnix’s story and it stopped me in my tracks. He was chatting about how sitting on a park bench for a year made him a better photographer.

So Immediately I reached out to him because I wanted to hear more! I have been practicing meditation (on and off) for two decades and I have experienced the benefits of having a calm mind during stressful moments and how it can help us be more creative and perform better.

But you all know me, and I can’t leave behind my marketing mind, so in this episode, Marnix also shares with us some of his marketing tips!
