Ever scramble to throw together a mini session at the last minute and then hate your life while trying to market it? Yeah, we've all been there. And honestly? It's exhausting, stressful, and completely avoidable. Marketing your photography business doesn't have to feel like a constant fire drill. In this episode, Melissa and Alison are pulling back the curtain on the ONE thing that will transform your entire approach to marketing your photography business: an actual annual marketing calendar. We know, we know - you've heard you need to be "marketing all the time." But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about sitting down with a calendar (yes, like pen and paper), reverse-engineering your year, and creating a marketing runway that has you booking clients WEEKS before your sessions instead of panicking days before. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why planning your marketing calendar 8-12 weeks in advance will save your sanity (and get you fully booked faster) The exact timeline you need for marketing Santa sessions, fall minis, and other seasonal events How to reverse-engineer your marketing runway so you're never scrambling again Why blocking off editing time is just as important as blocking off shooting dates The VIP waitlist strategy that lets you test offers before you fully commit How to batch your marketing content so you're not reinventing the wheel every week Why your clients NEED that long lead time (hint: they hate figuring out what to wear too) How to plan around PCS dates, deployments, school schedules, and family life Plus, Melissa and Alison share their own "oops" moments of last-minute planning and what they learned from being reactive instead of proactive.

If you're tired of feeling like you're always working IN your business instead of ON your business, this episode is for you. We're breaking down the concept of Marketing Mondays – dedicating at least one day a week to focus on marketing tasks that actually move the needle. The truth is, we've all been there: busy season hits in the fall, we get caught up in client work, and suddenly we stop marketing. Then January rolls around and our calendars are empty because we weren't nurturing our pipeline. Sound familiar? Today we're sharing our real marketing systems – not the pretty Instagram version, but what actually works when you have limited time, kids at home, or a full-time job on top of your photography business.

That's the magic of evergreen content, and today we're pulling back the curtain on our best-performing blog posts that keep on giving. We're talking about content that literally works while you sleep – posts that continue to attract your ideal clients months or even years after you hit publish. From Alison's Virginia Beach restaurant guide that still ranks nationally to Melissa's DIY newborn photo tutorial that gets 10,000 clicks in three months, we're sharing the real numbers behind our evergreen strategies. This isn't just about writing blog posts that perform well once. It's about creating content that compounds over time, establishing you as a local expert, and getting in front of your ideal clients before they even know they need a photographer. What you'll learn in this episode: The exact blog posts that drove thousands of clicks and real client bookings Why some evergreen posts outrank your main photography pages (and why that's actually good) How to turn seasonal content into evergreen traffic magnets year after year The difference between awareness content and client education content Why a golf-themed nursery post and a staircase gallery tutorial are still driving inquiries Resources Mentioned: The Blogging Club membership (use code KEEPITMOVING for 50% off first month) Google Search Console for tracking your blog performance Previous episode on turning blog posts into a week of marketing Episode on local expert strategies Your Next Steps: Work with Melissa: https://pictureperfectrankings.com SEO Self Audit Checklist: https://pictureperfectrankings.myflodesk.com/self-seo-audit 35+ Blog Post Topics for Photographers: https://pictureperfectrankings.com/35-blog-post-ideas Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/pictureperfectrankings Work with Alison: https://alisonbellphotographer.com/how-to-move-your-business Free Moving Checklist: https://alisonbell.myflodesk.com/checklist Marketing Funnel Basics: https://alisonbell.myflodesk.com/funnel Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/alisonbellphotog

Have you been seeing those "SEO is dead" headlines all over your feed lately? Yeah, me too. And honestly? I'm getting a little fired up about it. So here's the deal – everyone's trying to tell you that AI has killed SEO and now you need to learn some fancy new "AIO" (AI optimization) strategy. They're launching courses, hosting webinars, and basically trying to convince you that everything you've learned about getting found online is now useless. But I'm here to tell you the truth: it's all BS. I literally tested this myself. I hopped on ChatGPT (not even logged in) and asked it to recommend photographers for a casual, at-home newborn session near Charlottesville. Want to know who came up first? Me. And I haven't done a single "AI optimization" on my website – just good old-fashioned SEO that I've been doing for 15 years. The reality is that AI platforms are pulling their information from the same places they always have: search engines like Google. So if you're not showing up on Google, you're probably not showing up in AI searches either. The secret to being found on AI platforms? It's literally just SEO, guys. What You'll Learn: Why AI searches are actually just pulling from Google (and what that means for you) The real-world test that proved SEO still works for AI platforms How to optimize your website copy for the conversational nature of AI searches Why your social media posts now have a longer lifespan than ever before The four SEO pillars that will get you found in both Google AND AI searches How to beef up your homepage copy to capture those detailed AI conversations Resources Mentioned: Picture Perfect Rankings Done-For-You SEO Services: https://pictureperfectrankings.com Group SEO Coaching Program: https://pictureperfectrankings.com The Blogging Club with AI Tools: https://pictureperfectrankings.com Your Next Steps: -Work with Melissa: https://pictureperfectrankings.com -SEO Self Audit Checklist: https://pictureperfectrankings.myflodesk.com/self-seo-audit -35+ Blog Post Topics for Photographers: https://pictureperfectrankings.com/35-blog-post-ideas -Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/pictureperfectrankings -Work with Alison: https://alisonbellphotographer.com/how-to-move-your-business -Free Moving Checklist: https://alisonbell.myflodesk.com/checklist -Marketing Funnel Basics: https://alisonbell.myflodesk.com/funnel -Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/alisonbellphotog
