Summary:
In today’s episode I’m answering a question that came up recently in a conversation with another photographer – how should I be paying myself as a business owner? For most of us, we struggle because our income always fluctuates – sometimes we get small deposits, some months we don’t book anything, and other months we get paid big final deposits – how can we create consistent income and pay ourselves when our income seems all over the place? In today’s episode, I’m going to share a strategy for you to not only pay yourself consistently, but also plan ahead for savings for taxes and other expenses. 
At the end of the episode you’ll feel more empowered with your money and feel like you have a plan for the next time you have money coming in.

What if you had a plan to pay yourself consistently, even though your income fluctuates? What if this is the year that you start making an income as a photographer?

Let's dive in!

Summary:
For many photographers, they absolutely hate the idea of having to sell themselves to potential clients. They either get nervous and in their head, trying to make sure they say the right things – or they are so worried that they’ll come across as pushy that they take a really laid back approach.

In either case, it’s often true that they aren’t booking as many clients as they’d like. And I’m here to share, there is a better and more proven way to BOTH make selling feel like an organic and natural part of your business – and ALSO empowers your clients to know, in that moment, that you are the person they have been searching for.
If you’ve asked yourself questions like:
What should I be saying to potential clients on discovery calls to get them to book with me?How can I say the right things to potential clients so that I stand out from the rest of the photographers in my market?How can I sell myself more naturally so that clients book with me?How can I stand out from other photographers by having great sales calls?…  this episode is for YOU!

Summary:
When you hear the words client experience and automation – what comes to mind? For a lot of photographers, they either feel overwhelmed (not knowing where to start) OR others might feel afraid that if they automate, their clients will know.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few things you'll want to focus on that will set you up for success for your upcoming busy season. And I bet you’ll be surprised at how we can eliminate those fears and allow you to feel confident in your process and client experience. Your clients will LOVE what you’ve put in place and will likely refer you to even MORE of their friends.

Summary:
The #1 question I get from clients when it comes to their SEO strategy is -- where do I start?!?

And I get it, SEO can feel really overwhelming. When it comes to SEO trainings I’ve seen and listened to, it usually goes something like this --  they give you a ton of information and tasks to complete in order to optimize your SEO -- and you leave the training feeling more stuck and lost than you did before you watched the training. Where do you even start?!

In today's episode, I’m here to help you answer this simple question – Krista, what is ONE thing I can do today that will help me with my SEO?
