Taming Your Workflow with Jessica Wasik

Hands up if you’ve ever photographed for a fundraising calendar? Many pet photographers will, at some point in their career, find themselves getting on board for their local pet rescue. Usually this involves scheduling a couple of days to photograph 12 different pets from the rescue, who can then sell the calendars to hopefully raise some funds. Most of us aren’t paid for this time, but it’s something we’re happy to do to help our pets in need. But in an era where wall calendar sales are slowly declining, we have to wonder - could there be a better way???Introducing Jessica Wasik - mastermind behind the annual pet calendar contest strategy. The better way to create fundraising calendars.Jessica Wasik of Bark and Gold Photography specialises in celebrating the joy and love between Pittsburgh pets and their people. She’s a big believer in using systems to automate her workflow, so she can spend more time with her clients and building an amazing experience for them. She also routinely thinks outside the box with her marketing strategies - including photographing an Annual “Anniversary party” to profitably build her email list AND using her calendar content strategy to raise tens of thousands of dollars for Pittsburgh's local rescues. In this episode, Jessica shared so much not only about her journey as a pet photographer, but also about the specifics of her marketing strategies and how you can make them work in your business!p.s. Did you know that Jessica’s Guide to Successful Calendar Contests, including email templates, swipe files and a 40+ page PDF is all included in the Hair of the Dog Academy?!

S7E05 | How to Raise Thousands of Dollars AND Build Your Business, with Jessica Wasik

020 - It's hard to believe we've already torn off half the pages from our 2020 calendars. Torn them off, fed 'em through the shredder and invited them to never come back. Or maybe that's just me.  Anyway. This week's episode features Pittsburgh pet photographer Jessica Wasik, who's mastered the art of running successful calendar contests. She shares her favorite tips on how to find a charity partner, promote and profit from a pet photography calendar project of your own. It’s a great way to build awareness of your brand while benefiting a local non-profit. Done well, calendar contests also grow your stable of cash-dropping private clients.  What To Listen For: How Jessica more than quadrupled her donations in only 4 yearsThe magic (and potential pitfalls) of setting audacious goalsHow to collaborate with other local businesses so that everybody winsStress-busting advice for handling contest proceedsClient-management tips to maintain your sanity during a calendar projectIf the idea resonates with you, it's not too late to orchestrate a calendar contest in your market before the holiday gift-giving season! Set yourself up for success with Jessica's Creating Profitable Pet Calendar Contests program. It's usually $197, but for you, my dear Hair of the Dog listeners? You'll get $50 off through July 7th...and an even better deal if you're an HOD Academy member (check out Jessica'a guest instructor class inside the Academy for deets).Resources From This Episode: Bark and Gold PhotographyGoGo Photo ContestMoJo Insta Story Editor appCreatePhotoCalendars.comBark and Gold on InstagramBark and Gold's Facebook pageHair of the Dog AcademyHair of the Dog Facebook group Join the Progress Lab here. JOIN THE PARTY:  Join our free pet photography community  More pet photography resources here  Connect on Insta Ready to get serious about your pet photography?
