Key Takeaways

✦

Don't just be busy; aim for 'fabulously profitable and happy busy' by strategically attracting high-margin, desirable projects.

✦

Define your business goals (1, 3, 5 years) and exit strategy; marketing should support these long-term objectives, not just immediate needs.

✦

Invest in professional photography and videography for your completed projects, especially the ones that represent your ideal work, to showcase quality and attract similar future clients.

✦

Optimize your Google Business Profile with detailed services and actively solicit genuine Google reviews (even video testimonials) from happy clients to boost online credibility and search ranking.

✦

Delegate marketing tasks you're not skilled at or don't have time for; consider subcontracting photographers, videographers, or marketing agencies.

✦

Ensure prompt communication: answer phone calls immediately or have a system for quick follow-up, as delayed responses can lead to lost business.

✦

Be intentional about targeting ideal clients and project types; don't just wait for work to come to you, actively pursue the business you want.
