SEO Workshop

What is traffic if you cannot convert inquiries to clients?

Part 1: SEO and all you need to know to drive traffic to your website
Part 2: Blogging Practices – learning how to convert inquiries into clients

I get an average of 2.4 bridal inquiries a day and have a traffic of 24,000 unique visitors a month (all achieved in a short amount of time)

P.S. Today I was Dane Sander’s interviewee. That guy ROCKS! And it’s not because he drives a Vespa, which does give him extra brownie points. He is overall a pretty cool guy.

Great Design Is Serious (Not Solemn)

Lawrence — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:16:18 +0000

Hello,

Here is a cool clip I saw a few days ago about design. As photographers (or artists), we should ask ourselves whether shooting weddings / pets / families / portraits / etc. is solemn or serious. It is all right to be both. Just find balance in your lives lest you will burn out. In lieu of shooting the same thing all of the time, try mixing it up a little. Try adding some typography!

Hope you enjoyed the clip! It is a little long, but worth viewing. For those interested in our itinerary -

Friday – Dinner and cha cha cha
Saturday – Wedding at Isla Mujeres
Sunday – Wedding at Marriott
Monday – TTD at Telum
Tuesday – Rent a car and drive amuck
Wednesday – Have lunch and go home

Cheers,

Lawrence

P.S. I love fish tacos (especially from Mexico)

SEO For Wedding Photographers Workshop

Lawrence — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:07:47 +0000

Hello everyone,

First off -
YOU WANT TO ADD YOURSELF TO MY MAILING LIST
(I will not spam nor sell your email).

You can be the best [wedding] photographer in the world, but if you do not have exposure, you will never be discovered. And I use the word “discovered” loosely because it can be applied amongst other photographers or more importantly potential brides.

From one perspective, it is critical that you gain exposure to your clientele! Imagine if you can optimize for any location, any venue, any country, virtually anything and ultimately shoot there! I have been graced with the opportunity to photograph various celebrities (sadly can’t post it) and at various destination locations all because of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Realizing the need for these valuable and priceless resources, I decided to offer a workshop that expounds on these points. It will change the way you do business thereafter (even if not in photography). Having the knowledge of SEO and effective marketing can make you successful in any industry. I debated about the price of this workshop and still have not settled on one. As you can imagine, I am literally revealing my secrets to [almost immediate] success!

Cities TBA

Location and price is not finalized yet. I can promise you that this is like no other workshop. There is no model shoot or anything. It is 100% interaction and lecture of techniques to be awesome!

Anyway, to demonstrate a fraction of my web presence -

The list goes on…Just to give you an idea, I get about 2-3 inquiries a day for weddings.

Please subscribe AND follow me on twitter @tofurious! Please show the love and tweet!

Also, for those who bought the SEO videos, thank you for your patience. I am seriously trying to put everything together in one lump. They will no longer be available soon or price will be super high, so be glad you got them [cheap because they will no longer be $250].

Sincerely,

Lawrence

P.S. If you have a studio in a big city and can host over 30 people, leave a comment with your address. We need locations to have the workshop. Hosts will get free admission to the workshop.
