If you want to monetize your passion for photography, discover your unique voice, and build a loyal following, this course is for you!  The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Photography Entrepreneurship will teach you the fundamentals of branding, social media marketing, and monetization strategy so that you can turn your passion for photography into a profitable business.

In this unique course, you will learn how to:

  • Build your own photography website and platform, and master the fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to dominate your niche on Google.

In a world over-saturated with photographers, how can you stand out? What are the pitfalls that beginner entrepreneurs need to avoid in photography? Why should you never work for free, and why must you charge premium prices for your services? How can you learn to stomach risk in order to create strong profits while also thriving creatively as a photographer?

In The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Photography Entrepreneurship you will build the essential online marketing platforms for photography, including your own website and blog, your Facebook fan page, your Instagram account, your YouTube channel, as well as your own email newsletter.

There a few online courses on photography entrepreneurship, but there are no other courses as engaging, interactive, and practical as this one in successfully monetizing your passion into a living. There are so many myths online about photography entrepreneurship: this course will help you steer clear of false strategies that prevent you from creating your own profitable photography business. Not only will this course cover the practical strategies around photography monetization, marketing, and branding, but it will also cover the mental skills and toolkit you need to overcome self-doubt, insecurity, and fear in order to thrive as a photography entrepreneur in today’s hostile online climate.

It would be an honor to be your personal guide and mentor in photography entrepreneurship. Don’t miss your unique opportunity to live out your dreams as a photographer, and shoot for the moon!
