Hi photographers đ,
Like you (maybe like you), Iâve been going through the meat grinder of job interviews. I realized that there are SO MANY parallels between marketing your own brand and getting a company to hire you.
If you have a full-time job now, then you already know 80% of the marketing fundementals.
Your Resume vs. Your Website
Start with a bold headline that hooks your readers.
Follow that up with a concise story that relates to your target audience.
Keep it all contained on one page.
The Interview vs. The Client Conversation
âTell us a little about yourselfâ means tell a LITTLE about yourself.
Donât tell them what you did in high school.
Share a relevant story that ties into the job you are applying for.
Your backstory should give your audience a reason to become invested in you.
Your Portfolio Has to Be Relevant
Donât flood them with your past 50 projects.
Choose Your Number One Project, then choose two more supporting projects.
Your audience only has about 10-20 seconds of attention span.
Salary vs. Clientâs Budget
Donât wait until the end to talk about it.
Say a price before you show a price.
Practice in the Fire
Mock interviews and role-playing with your friends only gets you so far.
You have to be in front of real people and have them bring up real objections.
The One Big Thing
Whatâs the one thing that separates you from all the other candidates?
My One Thing -
If you hire me, youâre getting a content creator that thinks like a marketer. I will tie all of our work back to our main business goal - not just making pretty pictures.
Your Pricing Sherpa,
