Yay my pleasure Gustav!! :)

Awww thanks so much for the feedback and love Trayce! I've forwarded your message to Kimberly too! :)

Aw I'm so glad to hear that! Anything new will make us feel uncomfortable to get started so it's totally normal to feel that way! We have MORE of a chance at succeeding at something we love than at something we hate because we have so much passion, excitement, and drive behind it, that if we simply continue to show up for ourselves and take aligned action towards our goal, we get to make it there! Here is someone who specialized in documentary family photography as extra inspiration! > kirstenlewisphoto.com/ You can also check out my podcast called the Shine + Thrive Photography Podcast to learn more on your journey as you start your photography business! :) Apple Podcasts > podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/shine-and-thrive-photography-podcast/id1487338226 Spotify > open.spotify.com/show/1o5B6JfgSQQAfmNs9w7Ixj

Keep track of what specifically? Are you asking about a specific entry prompt? I mentioned at the end of the episode how I assign my VA to copy and paste ALL comment entries to the main google doc we have for entries. Also, I would challenge you (lovingly) to ask yourself the question, "If I did know how to track the entries for the giveaway, what would I do?" then the answer comes to you and you try and system, and then refine it as you go! Also check my answer to Kristen's question here in the comments! Maybe that's what you were asking about specifically? Hope this helps! :)

Any time you see someone reshare/tag you, you just write down their IG handle in a Google doc/notes related to the giveaway ;) So during the week you need to be on top of seeing who tags you and noting it down. But if that's your bonus entry (like it was for my giveaway entry instructions) you won't get much of those! So don't worry it won't be overwhelming :) I think I may have had about 15-20 story shares. The rest (about 1500) were tagging in comments which IMO is most effective to keep the energy up of the giveaway and get more reach! :) Did this help?

Got it. I wouldn’t be able to remember to check all the stories every day - do you make sure people are not “private” on there because if they are you can’t see their stories/you can’t tell if they follow you etc? I ask because there are strict giveaway rules in the US. You have to list what states are allowed to enter and you have to also provide an alternate way to enter without online I believe AND you can’t require a follow as an option I think. I know IG is hard on giveaways/contests!

@@Kristenwynnphotography Thanks for sharing! Two things: 1. If you tell your mind "I wouldn't be able to remember to check all the stories every day" then that will be true. If you choose to prioritize it and make sure to check once every 24 hours, then that will be true too. You get to choose how you want to approach it and what's important to you! 2. Every time someone shares to a story, I get a notification on IG about it so I can just check those notifications once a day and see who shared! Good question I never thought about not being able to see that private accounts tagged me. I assume we would be able to because we were tagged and it's in IG's best interest to notify us! 2. I'm in Canada so I don't know all the rules in other countries etc. (and also to be honest I don't know the rules in Canada either I just put this together while I was inspired in the moment), so I'm not the one to ask about "rules" advice! I'm sure someone in the photo community can give you more legal advice!

Aww of course!! :)

Glad it was helpful!

Aww I'm glad to hear that! :) Thanks for sharing!!

My pleasure! I've personally never explored hosting my website on my online gallery provider since I had a website long before that was really an option. I use Squarespace for my website at the moment! That's up to you! Ask yourself the question: If I already knew what I wanted do to, what would that look like?

Great question! Pic-Time doesn't own a lab directly but they have partnered with SO many labs in North America (and maybe other places in the world but I'm not sure since I only care about the Canadian labs as I'm in Canada), and so you get to choose your lab that you want print products to be ordered through! They are professional labs only accessible to pro photographers so yes the quality is there :) You can always order test prints or go in in person to the lab if it's near you if you want to check that! I use GTA Imaging in Toronto, Canada and I've never had a complaint about the quality! My clients love them! You can also choose for the order to be sent to you first if you want to quality check and then send to the client, but I have full trust with my lab and I have the drop shipped directly to whoever orders the print products to save me time. If I wanted to spend the time quality checking and wrapping them specifically, I would raise the print prices to reflect that experience I would provide. The cool thing is that it's all up to you and I love all these options that are available through Pic-Time :) I hope this helps! ☮

You're welcome! 🌞

Do you have a better sale this year than last year? Do you still keep at 4x? Im just thinking the same that sounds way too high…

@@minhngo154 I changed nothing about my strategy this year and had about the same sales :) I suggest watching the sales videos Pic-Time has on RUclips since they will talk about different strategies and then you can pick the one that feels best to you!

Glad you enjoyed it Paul! :)

Smartslides :)

Awww thanks for the love! Glad you enjoyed it and Rachel had some great advice! :)

Hahah so true great point! :)

aww thanks so much for letting me know! And fun! My uncle lives in Germany too! :) P.S. jealous that you get to have an autobahn!

Same! I really appreciate his realness and openness! :) Thanks for dropping the love here! :)

I think you misunderstood. This is how much I make per wedding on average In print sales 😉 my average that I make per wedding is about $8000 at the moment (before print sales)

@@saramonika At 31:45 in the video you give the average profit earned per wedding. At the point in your presentation you said you made $143.24 in profit per wedding in 2021. (Print sales only)

Glad it helped in some way! :)

@@saramonika I could not find the supplements and probiotics on instagram you took while you were on candida diet, could you share it here, please?

Aww I’m so happy I was able to help you make a decision that works best for you! thank you so much for letting me know!☺️

Yea she's amazing!! :)

Aw thank you Aleson! :) I personally think it's a great idea to name your collections in a way that represent your brand, who you are, and who you are attracting as your ideal client for the collections to feel more aligned and for you to stand out with your uniqueness. BUT at the end of the day, what you name your collections isn't the thing that you should spend a ton of time on since what is within your PDF (showing the value clearly in what you offer) and how you show up as your brand is what will all be the much bigger deciding factor on whether someone books with you or not. So don't spend too much time on this. Set a timer for yourself for 20 minutes and go with your gut and move on. That could always be updated in the future if you get more clarity! And if you wanna learn how to nail down your niche and how to show up in a way that attracts your dream clients, I suggest checking out my Crystal Clear Marketing mini course! > courses.saramonika.com/crystal-clear-marketing-enroll you'll also learn how to find out those 3 words that describe you and your dream clients to their core through a lesson and exercise in there which is so valuable to get clarity on and use throughout your messaging on your IG, website, and Price guide! I hope this helps! <3 :)

@@saramonika thanks a lot:)

@@saramonika thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!! :) Yea I used to take the remaining balance one month before, but then when the pandemic happened, and many times my automated emails would go out reminding them of their remaining balance being due when we still weren't sure if their wedding would happen, so I decided to switch it to 2 weeks after, AND on top of that, I'm able to try upselling them on an album if they didn't initially opt in for one and I mention I can simply add it to their remaining balance on their invoice (they tend to have more funds at this point too after receiving money at the wedding from friends and family).

Aww I appreciate you Mikayla! I'm so glad this has helped you and I love this strategy because the risk to raise your rates a little at a time with every few bookings feels very mitigated :) To all your success! <3 :)

Awww I love this comment thank you so much!! <3 <3 :) :)
