I was excited about this episode but unfortunately don't think she really explained upselling.
But why? Ok, make something and get a featured snippet. Then what? How does this help me? Seems like it only helps Google if people only need to read the serp result instead of clicking through to our pages.
OK, there are a lot of unaddressed assumptions in this episode. Aside from not explaining why he would choose seniors because he gets his weekend free (they're students, right? So why would he be shooting them during the school week!?) they haven't even described the difference between this and regular portraiture! Frustrating when people just make assumptions about their listeners and spend an hour talking around the topic without even defining it. 🤦
Wait, you call highschool students seniors? 🤣🤣 So what are octogenarians? I'm so confused.
So, Facebook and social for attention (brand awareness), Google and search engines for specific search terms (product awareness). Does that sound about right?
I don't think you meant it, but it sounds like you're saying to itemise our costs of doing business and then reduce it by a quarter to get the price of our packages... I hope this is cleared up somewhere.
Anybody tried this?
finally entered the world of podcasts . yes I know a little behind the 8-ball. LOL but yours was the first I came across so far and absolutely loved it. I have been a portrait photographer for a little over 10 years and over the past couple years I've entered the world of set photography which I really really enjoy I was wondering if you had any podcasts specifically about set Photography in the film industry as there doesn't seem to be a ton of information out there. Thanks again in advance and thanks again for the great station love it! :-)
