Between the two of us, we have combined 27 years in photography,10 years in IT and have lived through 9 business relocations. 4 moves ago I was frustrated watching my peers grow their businesses in one place while I was starting from scratch again. I knew I couldn't be the only one relocating and wanting more financial stability. Despite my Googling, all I could find were vague blog posts, moderately interesting podcasts but not one truly helpful resource on how to relaunch my business in a new city. Since then, I've streamlined a process to relocate and restart my business faster - booking clients within a month of arriving in my new location. It is possible to have clients waiting for you on the other side! I can help get you there. I've pivoted after 10 years as a wedding photographer to lifestyle newborns and then moved my business twice in 2 years. Each time I used SEO to get found on Google and grow my business. As a former IT nerd, I have a knack for taking technical things and making them simple and relatable. I'm using that superpower for good and helping photographers tackle their website SEO and get booked by their ideal clients!2023 Kunst Marketing & Vertrieb Ökonomie

What You'll Learn: How to audit your year and decide what you're keeping, dropping, and adding to your offer lineupWhy blocking off time for editing and rest is just as important as blocking shoot datesThe concept of a "marketing runway" and exactly how far out you need to start promoting different types of sessions (it's longer than you think)How to work backward from your event date to build a marketing calendar that fills spots before the panic sets inWhy your clients need lead time too, and how giving it to them actually gets you booked fasterThe case for a VIP waitlist and how embedding a Flodesk signup in your blog posts can get you leads year-roundHow to use evergreen blog content to drive traffic to seasonal sessions, even years after you've shot them Tools and systems for tracking your plan, from color-coded paper calendars to Google Calendar marketing tasks How to batch your content using a dedicated Monday workflow so nothing falls through the cracks Resources Mentioned: Flodesk (for embedded waitlist forms): https://flodesk.comThe Blogging Club (Melissa's membership for photographers): https://bloggingclub.comThe Motherhood Anthology: https://membership.themotherhoodanthology.comPlum Paper planners: https://plumpaper.com Kat Schmoyer Calendar (mentioned by Melissa) Listen to the Marketing Monday batching episode for more on content batching Tired of being invisible on Google?

  • Summer Replay: Hotels & Hustle - Get Away to Get It Done with a Workcation

    Summer Replay: Hotels & Hustle - Get Away to Get It Done with a Workcation
    Jul 6 2026
    Ever look at your to-do list and think, "I will never get to this unless something changes"? Same. That's exactly why we're re-airing this episode — because a workcation might be the thing that finally gets your biggest projects off the back burner and actually done. We're talking about the kind of focused work session where you pack a bag, check into somewhere you actually want to be, and knock out the project that's been sitting in a Google Doc for six months. No school pickups, no dinner to cook, no one asking where their socks are. Just you, your laptop, and a hotel lobby with good wifi. What You'll Learn: What a workcation actually is (and why it's not just "working from a different couch")Why big projects like website overhauls, email sequences, and content planning need uninterrupted time to get done rightHow to decide when to go, how long to stay, and what to actually work onWhat to look for in a hotel so you're set up to be productive, not stressedThe logistics that will make or break your workcation (parking, food, lobby access, and a few lessons learned the hard way)How to make it work even if you can't get away overnight — and why sending your family off counts too Project ideas that are perfect for a workcation: website relaunches, blog backlogs, Santa mini editing, email flows, new offers, and even finishing that course you bought six months ago 3 Things To Do After This Episode: Make your "parking lot" list. Write down every big project you keep pushing off because it needs focused time. That list is your workcation agenda. Pick your dates. Look at your calendar and find a 24-48 hour window that works for your family — a Sunday/Monday combo, a family birthday weekend you can skip, or a school week where logistics line up. Research one hotel. Look for somewhere with a comfortable lobby, parking, food nearby, and decent wifi. Bonus points if it's somewhere you'd actually enjoy being. Melissa has her eye on a Virginia Beach spot. Go find yours. Timestamps: [00:00] — Welcome back + what exactly is a workcation? [01:30] — Why you can't do big projects in stolen 20-minute windows at home [03:00] — The kinds of projects that belong on a workcation list [04:00] — Sending the family away counts too [05:30] — When to go and how long to stay [06:00] — What to look for in a hotel (and what Alison learned the hard way in Hawaii) [09:30] — Using travel time you already have [12:00] — Project ideas: websites, email sequences, courses, content planning, and more [13:00] — Tag us in your workcation photos!
