Armand Morin Live! and the Benefit of Attending Live Events

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Armand Morin Live!! Let’s GO…………

When you attend events, you are exposed to ideas and energy that you just cannot capture when you are sitting at home working away in your office – alone.

Being in an environment where there are like minded people is exhilerating.  You NEVER know who you will meet.  When I see the name tags of some of the guests, I am stunned that they have taken time away from their hugely successful businesses, to be in the crowd.   And I know why………  they know and understand the power of crowds.
These experts in their own fields are there to meet others with knowledge that they can combine for an even more powerful presentaton to educate more people in the future.  They know that they will meet even more people to work with and share knowledge.  It is enticing.   Seductive, even!
You REALLY need to come to the next live event that you can!

Who will YOU meet there????
Until next time -
Mary

Until next time,

Eric Graham – The Conversion Doctor

Friday, November 7th, 2008

The interview with Eric Graham ROCKS!

Working with an incredibly interesting variety of high end clients, combined with Eric’s intuitive mind and keen sense of curiosity in trends, Eric Graham has a sense of things to happen that will benefit every one who has the good fortune to benefit from his counsel.

One of Eric’s forte’s in business, is his insight into testing and drilling down to each and every part of a client’s sales message, to see what works, and keep tweaking until he narrows down exactly the right components that will increase Visitors to a Business, into Buyers in a business.

What Eric has done for me in the past, and continues to do on an ongoing basis, is to test the photos and poses that I provide for my clients and for his clients.  He painstakingly tests one pose against another, with and without poses, pointing, or doing other “actions’ on a  website.

You will be able to benefit from that information as well, as you receive each month’s new material.  And that’s great – however, that is only the tip of the iceberg so so spaek – of what Eric delviers to you in incredibly valuable information and advice.

Eric goes into detail regarding the concept of becoming a Photography Consultant to your clients and prospective clients.  When Eric talks …..Clients Listen.  Usually because they are paying him about $30,000 for his advice!   So (more…)

How To Shoot Individual Photos at Events

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Before An Event 

1.  Terms negotiations with Promoter: Will you be pre-paid for your services?  Meaning, you will be paid one amount by the promoter, and will take photos of every person at the event that wants one taken. 

Or will it be on a prospective basis? Meaning that your earnings will be based on how many people you shoot on an individual basis. 

  1.  Learn about the event you are shooting.  How will the guests be using the photos you take?  Will they want transparent backgrounds, or is there a theme that is appropriate.  Will you use a white background with props, or a greenscreen background?  
  2. Plan your setup.  Where will you be located?  Make sure there are not huge (more…)

Becoming a Photography Consultant

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

One of the things that separates great photographs from a friend or a neighbor with a digital camera trying to accommodate a friend ‘on the cheap’.  We, as professional photographers, know how to move the body so that it falls easily into the poses.  Our skill, our eye for the pose, our knowledge of how to properly use posing to increase exposure for marketing purposes.  THIS is what sets us far above the amateur shooter who wants to “feel like” a photographer. 

Our ability, as professional photographers out there perfecting our skills every day is what makes us valuable to our prospective clients.  We need to continue to grow, to be inventive in our photography and how we compose images.    Staying on top of current trends and new opportunities opens doors that we would otherwise not know existed.    

Learning what conversion rates are, why they are important – and relaying that to our clients in relation to using our photography on their websites, and in their marketing efforts, is what will set us apart – where there will BE no competition! 

When you have finished each course in this series, ‘ The New Business of Photography’ you will be prepared with the skills you need to expand your business locally.  Becoming the local expert – the only Photography Consultant who teaches their customers more than how to pose.  You will be teaching them how to Make More Money, as you add significantly to your own bottom line as well.
