How To Use Facebook More Efficiently For Your Business

October 27, 2015 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Facebook LIKE Button

Facebook is a beast. Right? One month you are getting tons of traffic from it, and the next it's a trickle. I know I've been there right with you. But beyond being frustrated, which is an easy reaction to have, there are some amazing resources to help you use Facebook more efficiently.

I've been paying close attention to Jared Bauman, president and co-founder of ShootDotEdit. While he is of course keen on serving his clients from the company's Facebook account, he is also acutely aware of how his clients are using and seeing results from their Facebook accounts.

With a large sample size – hundreds of photographers – Jared has managed to extrapolate a ton of data about using Facebook more efficiently. And he is eager to share this information with you via a free webinar on October 28th. Sign up right now!

If you are seeing this post after that date, don't worry; you can still watch the webinar after you enter your name and email address. After making a few changes in the content I post and in the way I engage my audience, I've seen some exciting results for this blog. I can only imagine what would happen to your sites if you deploy the suggestions Jared will make during his hour-long webinar.

I caught up with Jared and asked him a few questions about the webinar and what we can expect to learn from him. Give this short interview a listen. If you have any questions for Jared or me, please use the comments section below. We are here to help!

Do you use Facebook? Do you have a business page for your photography business? If you forego your morning latte and spent that money instead on targeting clients who are waiting to hear from you on Facebook, would you do it? What has stopped you from using Facebook advertising? Is it the expense? Or is it the technology? Let us know below!

By the way, ShootDotEdit, is rocking it with their webinars. Check them all out!

Discover How Mary & Justin Marantz Love Shooting In Tough Situations

May 22, 2015 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Justin & Mary Marantz Wedding Photographers

Mary & Justin Marantz are wedding photographers based in New Haven, Connecticut with clients who span the globe. They are also active educators and mentors to many photographers.

Skip Cohen loves to refer to their gorgeous website and work, so I am going to send you there to take a quick peek. When you come back, do me a favor and comment below, a word or two that best describes their website. I am curious to know what you came up with.

To say the Marantz are busy would be an understatement. I am not quite sure how they are able to do it all – photographing weddings, running a successful business, blogging on three separate websites, teach sold-out workshops and travel to some of the most amazing destinations.

The short answer to my own question: they've worked for it.

Curious to know where they blog? Here you go:

Thanks to ShootDotEdit, Justin and Mary Marantz will present a FREE webinar on May 27th on how photographers like you can create stand-out images in the toughest of situations just like them. Register for the webinar here.

Given that they are sort of neighbors (we live about an hour away from each other, so “neighbors” may be a bit of stretch), I invited them to chat about their business, how and why they love shooting in tough situations and what kinds of solutions they bring with them when they are photographing weddings across the country.

Jason Grubb, On Instagram Marketing For Photographers

December 2, 2014 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Jason Grubb, a wedding photographer in Denver, Colorado has strategically increased his Instagram followers and converted some of them into paying clients. Having a significantly smaller following on that social medial site, I was intrigued to learn more from him.

While our chat was short, I trust you will find a ton more useful and actionable information from Jason during his ShootDotEdit webinar on December 3. Find out more here.

Oh, and do follow him on Instagram too!

Lastly, do take a moment to check out Jason and Gina's wedding photography below.

I also invite you to visit their website. They are pretty specific about who they are, who they serve and what kind of photography they happen to create for those people they attract. This is “specialism” in action folks and I love how they have brought it all together.

Update: If you missed it, you can can the recorded version of the webinar with Jason Grubb here. Simply register on the site and you will be notified when it is ready to view.

Jared Bauman, Inspire Interviews: Episode 9

November 24, 2014 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Jared Bauman is the President and Founder of ShootDotEdit, a company that helps busy wedding photographers tackle their image editing processes. He and ShootDotEdit have made a long term commitment to sponsor and attend every Inspire Photo Retreat conference. And, they will be back again in February 2015 as well.

Inspire Photo Retreats - February 9-11, 2015, Portland, Maine

Anyone who meets Jared will be immediately taken by his warm California charm and his genuine interest in your welfare; not just business. As a photographer himself, he gets our rhythm like no other “vendor” and I put that word in quotes because I suspect most vendors have only their own bottom line to worry about, much less their clients. In this regard, I feel Jared is different. Of course, he is in business for his business, but it is never at the expense of his clients.

So, those of you who will be at Inspire Photo Retreats should make it a point to stop by the ShootDotEdit booth and just chill out with Jared. If you are a wedding photographer and you are overwhelmed, talk with him. He may be able to guide you in the right direction. Register for Inspire Photo Retreats now (before it gets sold out again!)

Find out more about ShootDotEdit, especially their awesome webinars. Also, the ShootDotEdit blog is incredible; yes, bookmark it! The next one up is by Jason Grubb on Instagram Essentials for Wedding Photographers.
