QUICK TIPS
1. Is your website gathering dust? 🧹
Too many photography websites become "stale" after a while because their owners fail to make time for them.
Blogs become forgotten, designs get out of fashion, and plugins become outdated (and turn into security threats).
Doing some “spring cleaning” website work can give you some positive results:
small SEO boost
lower bounce rates & longer time-on-site
more trust from your target audience
and hopefully all leading to more assignments or sales
2. Are you saying “NO” enough?
Are you prioritizing a busy schedule over fewer and more impactful projects?
Prioritizing impactful projects over a busy schedule is crucial for both personal growth and professional success.
Focus on fewer, higher-quality projects to ensure each one receives the attention it deserves.
Saying "no" allows you to dedicate more time to perfecting your craft and less time juggling too many commitments.
Choose projects that align with your artistic vision and professional goals, rather than taking on everything that comes your way.
Embrace the power of "no" to enhance your creativity and build a portfolio that truly reflects your best work.
