You have no control of what other people think or say about you. Be okay with it.
Social media rules the internet, and photographers are not immune to its effects. From losing countless hours that could be spent on more productivity to placing all of their confidence on the amount of likes an image gets. Often, photographers who complain that they aren’t getting any clients are the photographers who refuse to stay away from photography groups. They are chasing the approval of other photographers and claiming they need Facebook or other social media to get clients. What other photographers think of you isn’t as important as what potential customers think of you. Start focusing on creating social media content that gets real people to engage with you. (Unless you are posting in our Finding Magic Photography Education Facebook Group. We always want you to post there!)
The amount of money you make is in direct proportion to the amount of value you provide.
Photographers are not getting paid for creating and capturing the most beautiful images in any market. Yes! We said it, shocking isn’t it. Do you need to sit down? We find so many photographers spend time and money to learn all of the “secret” techniques of their favorite educators only to find out that there is a brand new secret technique out there. In the meantime the clock keeps on ticking and their business acumen never gets better. Dedicating the same amount of time, if not more, on learning how to provide excellent service and value will increase your ability to monetize your art.

To be recognized as the best, you need to be the best, by always editing your service and workflow.
Let’s be clear here. You don’t have to be the best photographer to have a successful business and have a line of clients out the door. You have to be the best at attracting them, making them fall in love with your service and getting them to tell everyone about you!
Every new client is an opportunity for you to perfect your service and add value through: ease of service, speed, availability, communication, attention to details, and delivering on your promises.
