This is an early episode that deserves proper attention.

Keywords are the crux of all good, well-performing SEO. Whether you’re writing webpages or blog posts, you need to know:

• WHAT keywords to use
• WHERE to use each keyword
• WHY keywords matter.
• HOW to figure it all out for your business and location.

Alison & Melissa both rely on SEO & keywords to get photography clients. Alison has relocated 7 times, the most recent to in Hawaii last year. Because of good SEO practices, she reached the top spot on Google in 9 months after moving.

Pricing is never easy.

There’s physical costs to consider but also metaphysical considerations like time and profitability. But there’s also our own pre-conceived notions about money, our own values and limiting beliefs that we unknowingly bring to the equation.

On this episode we talk with Annemie Tonken all about pricing, how to get out of your own head and set up a system that works FOR you.

Melissa & Alison both use Annemie’s stratgies in our businesses - but very differently!

Annemie is a family photographer in North Carolina and founder of the Simple Sales Blueprint - a system that combines the strategy of in person sales with automation to give you more time.
