Want to Book More Weddings?

Want to Book More Weddings?

I get asked all the time by Photographers.. “How do I get more bookings?”

It’s actually pretty simple to get more clients–get more eyeballs on your website. Eyeballs on your site typically translate into more people inquiring about your services, and that translates into more bookings. The real question you need to ask is, how do I get more eyeballs to my site?

Intuitively most people know the way to get more eyeballs on your site is to advertise–in some way. Trouble is, Google Adwords gets to be expensive and it doesn’t keep people coming back to your site. They don’t “know” you. So, how do you get people to start to know you? How do you reach new people in ways you haven’t done before? The answer is through the use of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Social Media.

In my 5-hour webinar, I’ll show you how to make your websites be found on Google; how to get new eyeballs on your site, and keep people coming back. And, most importantly–how to turn eyeballs into clients!

Book more weddings and you’ll make more money. It’s easy when you know how.

Register before September 26th and you’ll save $500!

Why take a workshop from me? I’ve been doing computers professionally for over 13 years. I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Systems Administrator. I am also the world’s largest SmugMug customizer. So, you know I know a thing of two about the internet :) I’ll show you techniques that are fresh and new; I’ll give you the real facts about:

  • Keywords: More is not better!
  • Keyword Density: What you think you know can hurt you.
  • Link backs: It’s not always about quantity. Quality counts more!
  • Build a brand: I’ll show you how!
  • Use Social Media like Facebook, Twitter and more to enhance your brand, strengthen your message and reach more people.

You’ll learn how to get clients, and keep them. Target your advertising dollars to exactly the right people. Get on the front page of Google!

Not convinced? Robert Evans and Candice Cunnigham two of the top wedding photographers in the country were at my last SEO workshop. They loved it! But, don’t take my word for it, listen to what Candice had to say about the workshop:

Peter Garr, the LA SmugMug user group leader also attended my last workshop. He had this to say:

Make a Homepage Slideshow in 30 seconds

Make a Homepage Slideshow in 30 seconds

Ok, so, I asked on Facebook what tutorial people would like to see me do. I got “Slideshows”. So, here’s how to do a slideshow in 30 seconds. It’s so easy, even a caveman can do it!

You may also want to add this:

#bioBox .photo {display: none;}
#userBio {text-align: center !important;}

to your custom CSS box in the Advanced Customization screen.

Remember.. You need to surround the code you got from the “Show Off” screen with:

<html>

and

</html>

or it won’t work! Oh, one last tweak.. You’ll probably want to add some text so your Google results don’t look strange. Here’s what to do:

<html>
<div id="bioText">
Your text here
</div>
**INSERT YOUR COPIED SLIDESHOW CODE HERE**
</html>

Then… add this to your CSS box:

#bioText { display: none; }

Enjoy!

Find Your Path to Internet Success: SEO Unleashed Webinar

Find Your Path to Internet Success: SEO Unleashed Webinar

Posted on 07. Sep, 2009 by David Wolf.

I’ve been offering a few free SEO (Search Engine Optimization) webinars in the past few weeks — all of which have been leading up to the ‘main event’. But, a lot of people don’t quite understand what SEO is or why it’s important. In fact, probably a fair amount of people look at the price and are immediately turned off. But don’t be — let me show you why my webinar will make you money!

Paying for ads is expensive

Whether it’s in the Yellow Pages, on wedding websites, or magazines, paid ads are expensive and do not guarantee a return on your investment. You can easily spend thousands and have absolutely nothing to show for it!

Word of mouth advertising is free

Everyone knows the best source for new business are clients you’ve done business with before. The bride who absolutely adores you and tells all her friends is worth her weight in gold. Frankly, you just can not buy that type of advertising! Google can be just that friend. In my webinar, you’ll learn exactly how to get Google to index your site and refer people to your business–for FREE!

People want to hire you; they just need to find you first!

You’re good at what you do. Once you get a new client, you can keep them happy and deliver the goods. But how do you get new clients? That’s always the challenge. I’ll show you multiple ways to extend beyond Google to find and attract new business. We’ll teach you the skills you need to succeed in a heavily competitive market.

Using SmugMug?

We’ll show you exactly what to do to get the maximum benefit from “Nice-Names”. We’ll give you code to make your site attractive to Google. You’ll finish the webinar with specific skills and tasks you can do right now to improve your rating.

No matter how much business you have, you can always have more!

We’ll show you how to:

  • Keep in constant contact with your clients
  • Get a higher placement at Google
  • Use Social Media to reach your market
  • Enhance your SmugMug site to maximize search engine indexability
  • Keep from getting DE-LISTED by Google! If you follow advice given by others, your site could be delisted! That means Google won’t index it at ALL! Possibly, forever!

After our 5-hour webinar, you will have the tools, skills and know-how to make your site work better!

We cover WAY more than SmugMug!

We’re going deep in SmugMug, WordPress, social media sites, Google and many more sites to give YOU the inside information you can’t find anywhere else. You’ll learn:

  • How to make people care about your blog
  • Build community
  • Keep people informed
  • Reach new people who have never heard of you before–and sell them your services!

I promise, even if you think you’re an SEO Guru, you will learn something from this webinar. This webinar can change your life!
