If you’re new to photography, or have been struggling with a part-time photography business, you’re about to discover the quickest, most effective way to grow your photography business to a Six Figure income level and beyond.

Let me ask you two important questions:

1. What if you had a friend with over 18 years experience in the photography industry who was willing to share all of her wisdom with you?

2. And what if she could show you a foolproof plan – one that she used herself to grow her own business to a $250,000 business in under two years? (And the growth didn’t stop there!)

Can you imagine what expertise you could learn from someone that could take you by the hand and walk you through some of the most important steps in developing this type of business? How it would increase every form of business decision you made? It could easily change your own life and turn it into the life you’ve always dreamed of.

Is it possible to make six-figure income as a photographer?

YES!

I did it in less than two years, and I’m happy to say you can too.

It takes hard work. It takes dedication. But it’s easier than you think.

Let me ask you another question....

Where are you with your photography?

Are you an amateur photographer, taking photographs every chance you have? Maybe you’ve entered your photographs into a few contests and won. Or maybe you have friends and family that love your work, and think you have potential.

Have you been thinking about a career change, and photography has sparked your interests? You love photographing, and the idea of making it into a full time career is exciting.

Maybe you’ve started your business, and its just not doing what you hoped. You’re working part time at photography, hoping to turn it into a full time career, but its just not working quite as you had planned. You’re missing a key piece that will launch you into success.

Or maybe you’ve made this your full time career, but you just can’t make it as successful as you would like it to be. You have a five-figure income, but you’re barely paying the bills. You would love to take the family on vacation, or buy that new car, but it’s just not in your future because you can’t get the business working for you.

Guess what? I understand. You’re not alone in your frustration.

While doing some research for an article I was writing, I learned a startling fact.

Statistics show that a photographer averages an annual salary of about $26,100. The lowest 10% earned less than $15,240, the middle 50% between $18,420 and $37,370 while the highest 10% earned upwards of $53,900. For a photographer employed by a newspaper or periodical the average annual salary was $37,230, while in other professional and technical services the average was $28,770.

That means if you are making just $54,000 per year, you are one of the best paid photographers in the industry!

Scary!

I understand that for you, those figures might not be “scary”. Maybe that defines your business at the moment. But for me, I made a six-figure income in less than two years. And I consistently doubled – even tripled - my income again and again.

Because I knew the Secret!

I’ll come back to the “secret” in a moment. But first,

What Is Success?

How do you define success?

Can it be defined by how much money you make?
Owning your own home, a fancy car, the best "toys" around, family vacations across the globe, and having a profitable business are all important and fun to have. And these things can be yours, but you have to be willing to take things one step at a time. You have to learn how to make $100 before you can make $1,000. You have to learn how to make $1,000 before you can make $10,000. And you have to learn how to make $10,000 before you can make $100,000. You're about to learn how to take those steps.

Can it be defined by how quickly you build your business?
Everything in life is attainable. But let's face the facts: only a lucky few people achieve fame and fortune quickly. That's why you see them in the news, in books, and featured on talk shows. There's no such thing as an overnight success. It takes work to achieve results. It takes dedication to accomplish great things. Yet you can shortcut the process by relying on the expertise of others – I'll show you in a minute.

Can it be defined by how well recognized you are?
Becoming an expert in your field will mean people can rely on you to perform at a top notch level. I'm sure you can think of many people that have achieved top level success. If I say "golf", you think "Tiger Woods". But the same applies in photography. There are many top notch photographers that have achieved that same level of success within their field, and within their community. It takes a plan, and more importantly, implementation of key strategic steps. You'll soon discover how to use those strategic steps for yourself.

When I started out running my first business, I defined success much differently than I do today. Success was more of a dream. I didn't have the skills defined for me. I didn't know what it took to move from level to the next. I didn't understand all of the pieces that would help build my business.

Can you relate?

So once I achieved different levels of success, I started putting together ways to help other people skip over the difficult tasks of learning on their own. Why reinvent the wheel? I believe in sharing my knowledge to help YOU succeed at a much quicker pace than I did.

Digging A Little Deeper

By now you may be asking yourself, “Who is this person and why should I trust her?”

Let me share a story with you. I didn’t start out as an entrepreneur. In fact, there wasn’t an entrepreneur bone in my body!

I come from a very traditional background. My dad worked and lived the 9-5 lifestyle. My mom stayed home with the 2 kids. We had the white picket fence – well, maybe not the white picket fence. But you get the picture. My life was all about stability. Work hard, get a good education, get a good job, and have a happy life.

So I went to school. Got the degree. Got a good job. And hated it.

Fast forward a few years, and things began to change. I watched my Dad re-interview year after year for his job – a job he had been in for over 30 years! I watched him worry about making it to 55 – the age he could retire. I knew I hated my job, and would never want to be in that position for 40 years.

So I changed.

I realized a “job” wasn’t security. In fact, it was worse then risking it all by creating your own business. Why would I want to depend on anyone else for my security, when I could create my own security?

And with that, my entrepreneur spirit was born. My husband Andrew and I started our photography business, on the side, part time. We knew its what we wanted to do. We had the desire to make it work.

Two things happened to us that literally made our business soar.

First, we decided to specialize in weddings. We had photographed in a variety of fields: portraits, children, commercial, weddings, stock. But we soon realized our passion was wedding photography; we loved the craziness of the day, and working with people on one of the happiest days of their lives.

Second, we discovered the power of the Internet. Now everyone is online. In fact, Google has listed over 6 billion pages – and growing! But back in the early 1990’s, very few people were making waves on the Internet. Andrew and I loved being online, we knew the potential, and we understood that this was going to be the future of marketing. So we embraced the World Wide Web with open arms, and did everything we could to get ourselves noticed online.

We were amazed at how quickly it came. We attracted the top online people. The heads of dot-com companies. Wall street gurus. People that loved technology – and happened to be getting married – discovered our site, and instantly became our clients. Nothing can be more satisfying then receiving a phone call one morning from a groom-to-be, saying his bride-to-be had just spent 12 hours on a dial up line, viewing every image we had on our website. She couldn’t quit crying, and she just had to have us photograph her wedding. We booked more weddings by dealing with the groom! It really was amazing.

(If you’ve ever booked a wedding before, you know most photographers deal with the bride, and have to convince the groom on the price factor. Imagine how much better life is when the groom calls and says, “I don’t care how much; we won’t have anyone else photograph our wedding.”)

Changing Focuses

As the years rolled on, our business continued to grow. But when there’s only two of you, and you do every wedding together, you can only grow so far. We didn’t want to do more than 40 weddings per year. In fact, we decided 30 was an even better number for us. We no longer had a studio – our clients were anywhere in the world, and had us travel to their location. And we didn’t want to get back into the lifestyle of doing dozens of portraits every month, and having the overhead of another commercial location.

Yet growing was important to us. We wanted a business we could work during the week, and help people along the way. We didn’t have to think too long. In fact, as soon as we started sharing with a few of our photographer friends our new ideas, the phone started ringing. And every one of the photographers on the other end of the phone asked, “How’d you do that?”

Our new idea was born. We created our new company to help other photographers understand marketing, and how you can grow to be a phenomenal success. We wanted other photographers to know the true power of having a website, combining Internet marketing with traditional marketing methods, and seeing your business double – even triple – year after year.

We’ve been doing this for over six years now, and still love working with photographers. Photography is our passion; we just work with it differently now!

We love helping you succeed!
We love watching your business grow!
We love creating tools that will help you achieve your goals!

This Isn’t About Me – It’s About The Process…

I know marketing as well as I do because I live it every day. I achieved phenomenal success for my businesses because I understand the principles of marketing. I share my ideas in hopes it will help others achieve the level of success they are looking for with their own businesses.

I do more than creating my own marketing methods, and helping my clients market their own businesses. I consider myself to be a marketing student – always learning, and watching for another tool that can help someone in my life. I read magazines, trade journals and books by the top names in marketing. I’ve trained under some of the best marketing gurus in the world. I read and study every day – that’s the only way to get better and stay on top.

As a result, I’ve developed a system, a method, a FORMULA that I have applied over and over again, to many other businesses.

Businesses just like yours! Owners that wanted to move from part time to full time. Owners that wanted to start a successful business. Owners that wanted the six-figure income!

Just think about it for a minute. What if I could show you:

	What a six figure business looks like – from the inside?
	A way to find the perfect clients for your business?
	A way to market your business as efficiently as possible?
	A way to network with people that will make them potential referral partners?
	A way to make the sales process one of the easiest processes of all?
	A way to quickly reach your peak performance?
	A way to capitalize on your knowledge, and use it again and again as you grow and start offering other products and services?

I have honed this Formula since I started my wedding business back in the early 90’s. I have started three successful businesses – each in a different industry using these skills. I have launched dozens of websites using this expertise. I have helped a lot of other people become successful marketers in their own right.

But this is the key part…

These are “plug and play” strategies that work in any field of photography you choose. Want to go into weddings? They work. Love portraits and babies? They work. Love commercial work? They work. Love fine art portraiture? They work.

The reason this system works is it’s all about marketing. Marketing is what makes you successful; having the photography twist makes it more understandable.

Creating the System That Changed The Way Photographers Market Their Businesses

When we started out, we knew we wanted to create a dynamic step by step system that photographers could take and apply instantly to their business model. Six Figure Photographer was born from that original idea, and has been a phenomenal success every since.

Every year I take the time to walk through the information, adding new material and deleting things that may no longer apply. It’s hard to compete today using ideas that worked well in 2004, especially when it comes to technology! And I wanted to make sure every photographer that decided to follow my information had the best and most current information available.

Two years ago, I decided to deliver my Six Figure Photographer in a whole new way. I decided to “go green” with my coaching program, and put it all online so you could have instant access to the information, and be able to access it from anywhere in the world, as long as you had access to the Internet. I also decided to offer it in two ways:

• a 12 month program that provides a reasonable amount of material each month to incorporate into your already busy lifestyle,
  
  
• and a 3 month Fast Trak program that gives you the same quality material in one quarter of the time.

The choice is yours, fast or slow, decide how fast you want to learn and apply these ideas, and you’ll soon be on your way to building a successful business.

Over the past few years, I’ve I had a ton of great testimonials:

Every testimonial I get means so much to me, because I love helping out photographers just like you avoid the difficult times, sidestep the learning curve, and jump right in to creating the business you’ve always dreamed of.

And because I always want to give you top quality information, I sit down with the content every year to see if it still applies to a photography business today.

So when I sat down to update Six Figure Photographer, I again thought about what would make it the most beneficial program on the market today. One that could deliver the best information in the most effective way. Something that could help every amateur, part time, or under-earning full time photographer understand exactly how to build a photography studio that can and will make a Six Figure income.

And get it to you on YOUR time frame. When YOU need it the most.

I give you detailed information on:

• Learning the mindset of a Six Figure studio owner
• Marketing techniques for long term sales
• Ideas on building key relationships
• Ways to price your products and services
• Packaging strategies

And you’ll also be receiving content like:

• Instant sales ideas to take your new ideas and put them into action – now!
• Audio and video clips that will emphasize the main material!
• Action steps to help you stay on track week after week!
• Up to date social media videos that show you exactly how to put Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Blogging into your marketing strategy!
• And so much more!

And because I know everyone works on different timetables, I’m once again offering Six Figure Photographer in two ready-to-use formats: the 3 month Fast Trak program, or the 12 month value plan. More on that later.

Now you may be wondering how this system will help you build your business, and how it will benefit you above the millions of pages of free advice online

Sure, there’s a ton of advice online today. And frankly, that’s part of the problem.

Do a search for “small business marketing”. As of the time of this writing, over 116 million search results come up.

How do you know whom to trust? How do you know which sites have the information that will help you build your studio to the level you desire?

Six Figure Photographer only teaches you what you need to know about building up a photography studio to a Six Figure income level. Designed by a photographer for photographers, you can presume that the information you receive has been tested and works in the photography industry. It’ll work in the United States. In Canada. In Australia. In New Zealand. In United Kingdom. In “list your location here”. (I know because I have clients in dozens of different places around the world.)

Here’s a Sampling of What You’ll Get When You Join

A lot of photographer’s head online when they decide to open up a studio. They pull up a few competitors’ sites and print off their pricing structure. Then they build their own, marking the prices down just a bit. (They’re just starting out so they can’t charge as much, right?)

Being online helped me succeed throughout the 90’s. In today’s world, it’s impossible to survive without a strong online strategy. I’ll show you:

Now, you may have noticed several
“Make money with your photography” products online, and you may be thinking:

“Why should I choose Six Figure Photographer?”

The answer is simple. I’ve made Six Figure Photographer the perfect program for photographers who have a desire to earn a Six Figure income from their photography.

• It’s created by a photographer, for photographers.

What will it cost you to
NOT own “Six Figure Photographer”?

Let me share a secret. In your business, your skills and your knowledge are what build your profits.

The more you know, the more you make. Likewise, your ignorance will cost you the income you deserve. Unfortunately, we all start out on the same playing field, and have to work year after year to attain the knowledge we need to make our businesses successful. Some do it quicker than others.

Ask any top entrepreneur what made them successful; the answer will always be education and knowledge. They started with a quest for knowledge, and still to this day are in a constant learning mode to improve their position in the marketplace.

I have a feeling that if you are still reading this letter, chances are you’ve come to the realization that knowledge will help your business succeed. You’ve decided to become a serious student of business, and learn how to build a business that will provide you with all of your dreams.

What we have put together in Six Figure Photographer is the results of 20 years of being in the photography business, 20 years of studying the art of marketing, and 16 years of studying online marketing strategies. I was selling my photography services online back in 1994 – before digital photography made placing images online easy. I’ve been using these same strategies for well over 16 years. Can anyone else say that?

If the knowledge I’m sharing can help you avoid one mistake, or create one marketing campaign that will zoom your photography to the top … it will pay for this course many times over.

Ok, let’s wrap this up.

What Would You Pay To Gain Access
To This Step-by-Step Guide To
Building A Six-Figure Photography Studio?

If you’ve been on my subscriber list for any length of time, you know I have many facets to my business. I consult, I coach, I provide a variety of services, and I have a variety of products available online. If I add up the knowledge that went into this product, plus the value of the bonuses I’m offering, I could easily price this product for thousands of dollars.

Frankly, I’m so busy I only accept a few coaching clients at any time – to make sure I have time to spend creating new ideas for my business AND spend time with my family. Six Figure Photographer has been an amazing journey. It’s led me to connect with some dynamite photographers – around the world – and it’s helped make connections with people I never even dreamed of meeting.

But I’ve also been in your shoes. I’ve understood the power of knowledge; yet had a limited budget to buy the things that would help catapult my business. After all, most photographers will never make over $20,000 per year in their part time business.

I want to change that. I want to give every photographer the opportunity to go beyond spare change. I want to give every photographer the opportunity to build a successful business with a very good income – so good they can rely on it as a full time income AND have plenty left over to indulge on the fun things in life.

So here’s the deal …
