Today’s mistake won’t cause you any major frustrations like some of the other ones will, but by avoiding this mistake you’re going to get the most out of your personal brand photography investment and not miss any key images that you’re going to want.
So far in this series I’ve revealed these common mistakes:
● Mistake #1: Hiring a traditional photographer instead of someone who specializes in Personal Brand Photography.
● Mistake #2: Not asking if a commercial use license is included.
● Mistake #3: Not getting the right to edit the images.
● Mistake #4: Hiring a photographer that requires you to credit them.
If you missed any of these, go back and find them in your inbox as they explain why they are such massive mistakes that can cause you much frustration and even make your conversions go down. It’ll be worth it.
What's the final common mistake I see people making when they hire a personal brand photographer?
Mistake #5: Shooting without a plan.
A good personal brand photographer will have a series of questions for you to answer that will make sure you have all the images you need for the content you create for a solid 3 months.
Whether you need daily images for Instagram, images for blog posts, website banners, Pinterest images, Facebook Ad images, or more, they’ll help make sure you have everything you need ready to go at your fingertips, all formatted correctly for each platform.
Not only that, but many traditional photographers shoot vertical portraits, which are hard to use for website banners and Facebook ads, or they shoot close-ups that don’t leave the space you need to add text or other graphic elements to your images.
My goal is to give you every image you need for the next 3 months, making your social media management and content creation much more efficient. No more wasting 10 min taking a low-quality selfie when you’ve got the perfect image ready and waiting for you each day.
You will be able to batch create your posts with ease and efficiency, saving you time and helping you get ahead so you can schedule it in advance and not have that hanging over your head each day.
Pro Tip #5 Hire a photographer who offers yearly packages.
If you are using social media to grow your personal brand, you’re going to need a steady stream of new images month after month.
While traditional photographers only book one session at a time, so you have to remember to book them on a regular basis and hope they aren’t too busy to fit you in, personal brand photographers offer yearly packages that guarantee you’ll have fresh images every quarter and locks in your spot with them.
You’ll often get a better rate for booking a yearly package instead of individual sessions, and it’s one less thing you have to worry about doing. Plus, you can pay on a monthly basis, helping even out your cashflow throughout the year.
If you’d love to have all the images you need, month after month, without having to think about it, I’d love to discuss becoming your personal brand photographer.
I understand your needs as an entrepreneur, influencer, and small business owner better than a traditional photographer ever could, and I’ve created everything in my business to be perfectly suited for your needs.
I’ve got a limited number of yearly spots, so if you’re interested in working with me on an ongoing basis, just contact me and let me know.
I’ll let you know if I’ve got any spots currently available and we’ll set up a time to meet so I can get you all the details and we can see if we’d be a good fit for each other.
I’m also happy to answer any other questions you have, so don’t hesitate to ask.
Either way, I hope you found this blog series helpful in your search for a personal brand photographer.
Hope to hear from you soon!
