QUICK TIPS

1. 🔁 Update Your About Page Regularly

When’s the last time you looked at your About page? If it still says “I just bought my first DSLR” or lacks your recent achievements, you're doing your site a disservice.

Your About page is not just a bio, it’s one of the most-visited pages on a photography website. Clients check it to get a feel for your personality and professionalism.

Quick wins:

  • Update any awards, exhibitions, or publications.

  • Add a recent behind-the-scenes photo or short story.

  • Link to your best gallery or blog post.

Keep it fresh, keep it real—and let your authenticity shine through.

2. 🎯 Your next blog post isn’t enough—repurpose it everywhere

Wrote a solid blog post? Great. Now turn it into:

  • A YouTube video (voiceover + slideshow works)

  • A LinkedIn article or carousel

  • A Reddit or Quora answer

  • A short email newsletter tip

  • A few social media posts with image examples

One core idea, five different touchpoints. That’s how you grow your reach and stay top of mind for potential clients.

Stop thinking “more content,” start thinking “more places for the content you already have.”
