Description

Are $40k months possible for you?

Photographer & Content Strategist Matt Ortlieb had hit a breaking point in his business. He was tired of over-committing to low-paying clientele and knew there had to be a better way. He shifted from just being the “go-to content guy” to a content strategist. He implemented tools, systems and frameworks into his business that changed everything for him.

Enter: his $40k month. 🤯

In this week’s episode, Matt shares how he hit this milestone by:

👉 Selling strategic solutions for his clients (Pinned Post Package)

👉 Setting a firm minimum for retainers to eliminate burnout and low-paying jobs

👉 His content strategy for his own brand and it’s role in lead generation

👉 How he leans into community to continue up-leveling his business

Matt’s story proves that with the right strategy, action and consistency you can do it, too. 🚀
