124: Mark Rosetto- 3 Keys to Rocking Your Marketing

Mark Rossetto is an international award-winning double master photographer (AIPP), a highly sought-after public speaker, teacher and a qualified Life and Photography Business Coach.

At just 25 years of age, Mark transformed his passion for photography from a hobby into one of Melbourne, Australia’s most successful family and wedding photographic studios. Each year Mark and his team photographed over 500 families and were consistently booked at capacity with weddings.

He loves marketing, or what he calls “the chase of the client”.
I first asked him to share what not do do and he says
– don’t be a jerk or sneaky
– don’t promise what you can’t keep
– don’t be afraid to ask for help

In this rich conversation, Mark suggests having 5 strategies or more at all times to have a consistent flow of clients. He shares his powerful perspective on the three aspects of marketing that are important for success.

1-Passive Marketing. It is your billboard…who you are and what you do. Don’t be invisible. Don’t be lazy in your passive marketing strategy

2- Active Marketing. It is when you go out and bring clients into your business.

3- Digital marketing amplifies everything.

123: Ania Volovique- Personal Growth Through Business

This week I’m joined by Ania Volovique. Mindset is everything and Ania knows this better than anyone. She also knows that being an entrepreneur is not an easy feat. It’s the ultimate course in self-development, forcing us to walk alongside our fears, strengths, and ego. She knows you’re worthy of greatness and wants you to realize it as well.

Ania Volovique is an empowerment coach, somatic release facilitator, soul-expression photographer and international speaker – who is committed to breakthrough societal conditioning and live life on her terms.
In 2019, Ania was diagnosed with brain cancer and got an opportunity to put all her skills into practice. A month post brain surgery, all her scans came back clear – no longer needing chemo or radiation. Navigating through the cancer experience with full trust and surrender, Ania understands the power of the mind-body connection and guides others to dance through any storm life offers.

You won’t want to miss

Why you’ll probably find Ania in a forest amongst the trees.
The reason she always pays attention to the words she chooses.
Her thoughts on imposter syndrome.
What experience bonded Luci and Ania.

I think Ania has a lot of wisdom when it comes to mindfulness. She gives solid and actionable advice on how to cultivate that in your own life. I loved talking to Ania and I hope you love listening to our interview!

122: Starting Your Business For Big Success

This episode is all about how to get started selling your work.


I know it can be overwhelming and confusing so I thought I would
give as much info about what to do and think about as I could squeeze out of my brain. This is in no way everything but it is a good foundation for success.

I share with you why the first step is to have a clear vision, a dream that is specific as well as a bit of fantasy, a simple business plan, and a defined goal.

I cover the importance of “Pricing for Profit” and how to do it, making the telephone your best friend and how the right conversations set up the entire system, and a few thoughts on why selling in person is best for your clients and you if you want a profitable business selling lifetime treasures (in my opinion of course).

And I share about the value of
-education of all types…including coaching and courses
-practice practice practice your photography skills, sales, and more

PS…I am started a group program in the fall and would love to help you learn my “secret sauce” and everything else that helps me and my coaching clients sell multiple wall portraits and albums consistently.

Just message me on Facebook or email me to set up a quick call about The Profitable Photographer Sales Academy Live, or anything else you want support with.

120: Amy Fraughton-Using “Google My Business” And Being Seen In Multiple Ways

Amy Fraughton started her photography business in all the wrong ways 11 years ago, and quickly learned some hard lessons such as charging my worth and developing a higher end business.

When she found that many other photographers were having some of the same issues Amy ran into, she started Photo Business Tools to help them.

She also a certified Life Coach and spend a great deal of time helping my photographers get past their limiting beliefs and into truer, more successful versions of themselves.

-Clients are right out our front door

-Big Picture…Get exposure…don’t hide under a rock

       put your eggs in a lot of different basket
       Get your google my business in order
       Lead magnets
       Facebook Ads and
       local marketing
       Mail 
      Website 

Google My Business is great…people going there are ready to buy
-it is different than regular google

  • Secret algorithm
  • Get reviews
  • Posting in GMB
  • Register a local address
  • They send a postcard to confirm
  • You can post regularly
  • Get your reviews sent there

Life coach…limiting beliefs…they lack motivation…motivation comes from how
You feel…how you think about yourself…then they make it mean something about
Them

Come from a place of excitement…
Everyone will always be growing. You are awesome. Have grace and compassion
It is totally normal
It is a habit of your brain
What is true…
Self judgement or comparing to other people
GRACE and Compassion

Start believing in yourself and remember how awesome you are
