Is Your Website Bringing You Business? Be Honest.

After reviewing hundreds of photography websites, I've come to an ncomfortable conclusion. 😬

Most of them are nothing more than a very sophisticated name tag on the Internet.

Beautiful. Expensive. And completely silent.

In this video I'm asking the question that most photographers are afraid to answer honestly — and sharing the one shift in thinking that changes everything about how your website performs.

No plugins. No expensive redesign. No hiring anyone.

Just a more business-like approach to something you already have.

👇 Here's my real question for you today: is your website bringing you actual leads and inquiries right now? Tell me in the comments — and if the answer is no, tell me what you think the reason is.

I read every comment and I will personally point you in the right direction.

There is one page on your photography website that makes
you more money than any other. 💰

And I'd bet good money you're either ignoring it completely,
or treating it as an afterthought.

It's not your homepage. It's not your gallery.

In this video I explain why this overlooked page does
something your homepage and gallery never can — and why
the photographers who use it correctly are quietly pulling
ahead of everyone else.

There's one rule that makes this work. Break it, and the
whole thing falls apart.

👇 Drop "blog" in the comments if you're ready to stop
ignoring the most valuable page on your website.

Quick one today, and I promise it will take you less time to fix than it takes to watch the video.

Every day countless websites in the US pester their visitors before they even have a chance to look at the content. Why would you annoy a potential client before they have seen a single photo or read a single word?

Probably because someone told you that you needed an annoying consent. That it was required by law. That you had no choice.

Well, you don't. And it isn't. And you do.

Watch this video to learn how a one-minute change can immediately improve your visitor's experience, remove unnecessary friction from your website, and help you make a better first impression on every single person who lands on your page.
Because starting a relationship with a potential client by irritating them is never a good strategy.

🔥 The Top 3 Reasons Your Website Is Not On Page 1 Of Google 🔥

Most photography websites never make it to page one. 😬

And the reasons are simpler than you think.

In this video I talk about one of the most powerful —
and most ignored — tools that Google built specifically
for your business.

It's free. It requires nothing special to use.
And the vast majority of photographers don't even
know it exists.

Here's the kicker: when you use it correctly, you are
not fighting Google's algorithm.

You are giving Google exactly what it wants.

And Google — trust me on this — always returns the favor.

my free step-by-step guide. No catch. Just the guide.

Stop Sending Your Clients Away!!!

Right now thousands of photographers are sending their potential clients in the hands of their competition. It happens every day!

It's madness and it's done completey voluntarily. WHY?!

Stop doing it right now. The change takes minutes, the impact is dramatic.

Watch this powerup to understand how.

Nobody cares about your photography.

It's not impressing people enough to call you, let alone book you.

It doesn't make your site rank with Google.

And yet. most photographers build their websites around one idea:

“Look at my beautiful work.”

But a gallery is not a marketing strategy.

In this video, I talk about why endless image galleries can hurt your photography website, why they may be making it harder for Google to understand your pages, and why beautiful photos alone are not enough to turn visitors into inquiries.

Before you add another gallery, watch this.

What if I told you that 99% of your discomfort with
technology comes down to just two things?

Not two hundred. Not twenty. Two.

Two easy, foundational concepts that very few in photography take the time to truly understand.

We are talking about easy stuff, readily available knowledge.

And once you get them, everything changes.

Your computer stops feeling like a mystery. Your confidence goes up.
And that embarrassing feeling of being "not technical" is gone for good.

In this video I hand you the key.

👇 Drop "foundation" in the comments if you're ready
to finally feel in control of your technology.

I have been running my business for the past few months on Linux. Goodbye Windows, goodbye Mac. I was on Windows for a few years but the state of Windows 11 is so horrible, and Linux is so much better, that I made the switch.

The Mac is not an option. I used Mac for 15 years prior to switching back to Windows 4 years ago. There isn't one single Mac today that is worth buying, IMHO. And the Mac platform has been rightly defined as a "walled garden." It is. Maybe you like the garden, and that is OK. I don't like walls around me, regardless of who makes them or how pretty they look.

Most of what we do today is available on Linux in one form or another. The difference? Much faster response. Keeping of hardware that is perfectly usable today. No spying. Much better security. The ability to customize the system exactly how you want it.

What about Photoshop, Lightroom, and so on? Yes, those are the sore points. We still need Windows for those. I have a separate PC that is there just to run those programs.
,
Lightroom can be easily replaced by the free Darktable. PS, that is a problem. If you are a moderate user of PS, then Affinity can be a perfect replacement and Affinity can run under the WIndows emulation in Linux (Wine). There are many tutorials on how to do that.

If you use PS heavily, then it's still a problem.

But, many photographers don't do their own editing, so PS is not even on their PC. So that is a good scenario for migrating to Linux.

Only you can say if this is a solution. I wanted to mention it because photography is my business, and I run my business on Linux.

Yes, it is completely possible.

"I'm not technical."

I'm going to lean on that. Hard. 🤜

Because that phrase, the one you might have said yourself
at least once, is not a personality trait.

It's not a condition.

And in this video I'm going to prove it. With a story about a printer and thirty seconds that changed everything a friend thought she knew about herself.

This one might sting a little. That's OK.

👇 Drop "technical" in the comments if this uncovered a familiar situation. And let's talk. What are the most frustrating things that you experience in working with technology?
