Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome! Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show. Answer the why, not the what. Why is this happening, not what is happening. It's easier to see what's happening. The question is why is it happening in the first place. – Richard Waine If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name. Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your keywords or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to. Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has made a difference to you and your photography business. Here is the latest review… ★★★★★ An epic podcast for photographers wanting to grow their business. Posted in iTunes by Margaret River wedding photographer, John Rice, from Western Australia on 24th June 2020. I have been a premium member since PhotoBizX started out, and I am still learning with every episode. PhotoBiz provides in-depth content that is specific to your photography niche and it's easy to understand and implement too. I have found it a great way to be introduced to awesome Photography Business Coaches like Bernie Griffiths who helped me to have a huge success in the family portrait market. Andrew is so genuine and helpful, he once called me in response to an email I had sent to him, to help me when I was building networks and alliances in my local area. I think we chatted for forty-five minutes and he was happy to chat again to make sure I was on the right track. That's above and beyond stuff and I am so appreciative. This is a no brainer and I highly recommend this podcast to take your photography business to the next level.  I'm not a Lightroom user but this might interest you if you are… PBX member and past interview guest, Dave Stewart has just released a super helpful service for Lightroom users called Lr Watermark. They can transform your logo into a customised brush preset so you can place a watermark in the Develop module, and you don't need to rely on the clunky export-based watermarking in Lightroom or switch over to Photoshop to place a logo, so it's excellent for quick social media posts etc. It's just launched and Dave is looking for some early adopters and is offering 50% off (on top of the current sale price) until August 7th for PhotobizX premium members, which works out at $4.99 USD and sounds like a total steal to me!  Just use promo code PBX50 on checkout. You can learn more and see how it works here: www.lrwatermark.com  New updates for SmartAlbums I just received a message from Daniel Usenko of Smart Albums about some new updates to the software. It's already a fantastic design tool and the new features look great. More details here: https://www.pixellu.com/smartalbums/smartalbums2020/ If you don't have SmartAlbums and are interested – make sure you use the promo codes available in the Premium Resource area to save some $$$. If you have any questions for Daniel – he's available in the Members Facebook group.  PhotoBizX Daily Vlog Challenge – Earlybird pricing is now available Why utilise video in your photography business? The number one reason – to make a personal connection with our prospective client, faster than ever before.  You can do this with video on your website, email replies with video plus advertising and retargeting with video.  There is no faster way to make a connection than you talking to your clients via video.  If you generally book most of the clients you meet with face to face, imagine building that bond earlier in your process and before other local photographers. It'll mean more bookings for you. Fantastic right? As long as you can be yourself and make the same kind of connection you do in person. And you can!  Want to learn how to get comfortable being yourself on camera?  This Challenge will get you there.  The improvement and transformation in members videos has been extraordinary as we add something new to focus on throughout each module – from lighting, framing, eye contact, intro and outros – all with daily prompts. Everyone involved is getting daily feedback, and it's easy to see the fun we're all having as we progress. The next Challenge is starting soon! Click the link and add your details to get involved: http://dailyvlogchallenge.com The way it works  Watch the daily video (with topic/Challenge included) uploaded into a separate post each day – excluding weekends. Record your video reply and upload into the comments for that unit. Once your video is uploaded, leave comments or constructive feedback (if requested) on at least 2 videos from other participants.  Wait for feedback on your recording and implement suggestions into your next Challenge.  That's it, as simple as that.   Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Tavis and Amy Website Guild Canvas Co Tavis and Amy Business Coaching Website The Guild Gallery Family Portraits Tavis and Amy Wedding Photography The Guild Gallery on Instagram The Guild Gallery on Facebook Guild Canvas Club Facebook Group Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink Daily Vlog Challenge registration SmartAlbums new updates Lightroom Watermark App by Dave Stewart  Thank you!
