Tools for growing a photography business
Last Thursday, April 8, 2021 we had Erin Hernandez- Reisner join us on our weekly NoBs Photo buzz livestream.
And what a journey it was.
Words can’t possibly explain the journey we went on and the back alleys we explored.
Down the rabbit hole, watch, listen to the replay HERE
The artist’s journey isn’t always a bed of roses, rainbows and sunshine.
It’s often the struggles that define the journey.
Enjoy,
Yours in success, Rob
You tell me. Does it actually work? I can’t say for sure and I can’t prove any of this voodoo nonsense.
However, I do know that many times in my life I sat down, wrote out some goals and added fuel to that fire by “visualizing” the end result.
And oddly enough, it worked. Don’t ask me why or how.
But I say, why not? No harm done. I’ve acquired cars, cameras, houses and more…
Yesterday we chatted on this topic and our guest, James Hodgins gave us an example of how this worked in his life.

It’s been said that Dan Kennedy consulted with the Wendy’s hamburger chain back in the day.
You know, Wendy’s of “where’s the beef?” fame.
[Read more…]It’s easy to fool ourselves. The ego is a powerful force and can lead us down our path of destruction laden with excuses. Often this is fueled by having an excess of cash or business success.
Yes, cash. We keep throwing money at our business. This is like giving heroin to an addict. Eventually however it stops working.
Success can also be misleading. When things are going swimmingly, we can easily be misguided and not see how quickly things can change. I call this having blinders on. Our success can over blow our egos.
Anytime you have a successful business, it’s valuable to remain sober and objective.
Why are clients coming to you? Are others going to out innovate and create serious competition? Can you innovate and re-invent?
Staying on top of the marketing game and constant improvement, creation and innovation in your marketing is essential to remain successful.
To think you can do no wrong is a huge mistake. Stay modest, stay open and stay relevant.

Don’t you find it odd when someone tells you “I’m not gonna lie?” and then tell you something that they feel strongly about or something that happened.
I do. Similarly I find it odd when I hear “a full 25% OFF”, or, “fully home cooked meals.”
[Read more…]A lady visits our studio the other day to purchase a studio gift certificate. While there, she inflated my ego in a big way. I needed that.
She wouldn’t stop with the praise. And she was astounded by our fairy portraits which adorn our reception room walls.
I’ve been saying this for decades…..You need to know your market.
Where are they? How many are in it? What do they like? How do they live their lives?
How can you talk to them as cheaply and efficiently as possible?
And more importantly, do they want and are willing to buy what you have to offer?
