The Photo U Business Builder is a 6 month program for photographers who want to start or grow your new photography business! After registration closes in January, I will send all students an in-depth survey to get to know their photography business or goals. This program will be guided by what my students need to know in addition to what I believe you need to know in order to start and run a successful photography business.
The Jill Gum Photo U Business Builder starts on March 1! Here is what is included:
Learning
Weekly recorded video content (following a bigger theme each month) to teach you everything you need to know to get your business started. Content is released in a sequential order that covers each step clearly to grow your business. In this program we will cover:
-The heart behind your business
-Social Media Marketing and Growing your Business
-Pricing
-Legal considerations/
Insurance/Taxes
-Client Communication
-Workflow and Organization
(and more!)
Growing
Each and every month, members will be sent away with an action plan to work on throughout the month to help you advance to the next step of building your business. This is the tried-and-true checklist I wish I had when I started to build my own business 8 years ago that will tell you exactly what you need to do each month along with the content.
Community
There will be a video meeting Q+A each month for students to ask questions (on zoom or similar). Each Q+A session will be recorded for students who can't attend live or to reference back to later. These Q+A video sessions will allow ALL students to talk, interact, and ask questions to facilitate real discussion among the group!
In Person Workshop
On August 7th (planning for in person!) we will meet in the Springfield, IL area and do an in person Q+A and check in of each student’s progress, and then photograph a session together! At this in-person shoot along, you will be able to see me work live with clients, pose them, and interact with them. I wish I would’ve been able to take part in a guided shoot with a professional photographer much sooner in my career since the only thing as important as your final images is how you make your clients feel at their photo session! will be given ample time to take photos of your own for their portfolios, and even practice some posing/instructions themselves if you choose to. In addition to building your portfolio, you will receive 5+ headshots taken at this event for your own business! 4-8 PM
(*Note: If in July it is clear that we will be unable to safely meet in person in August, but WOULD be able to in September, we will bump this in-person workshop to Sept 19th. I will make that call at least 4 weeks prior to the August date. If we CANNOT safely do this in person or you cannot attend in person, this will also be recorded and you can watch later).
Post-Session Workflow Breakdown
From choosing, editing and delivering the final images, my students will get a complete look at my post-session workflow to learn how they can apply it to their own business! After the in-person workshop, this workflow breakdown video will allow my students to see the entire process start to finish (along with all of my tips and tricks for an organized, consistent system that will be easily maintained in your business!).
STUDENT LIMIT: Due to the nature of this program and wanting to serve my students so well, this program will be limited to no more than 15 enrollees.
Investment:
For the value of just the in person workshop alone, I’m giving my students the entire program! This is a highly discounted rate based on value for the first round of the program, and will raise significantly next year. The investment my students make can be made up for in just a COUPLE of photos sessions with your new clients, which I guarantee you will be able to book during the duration of the program. I am confident that my students will make up the investment before the program is done as I walk with them step by step to get there.
Registration opens TODAY and ends January 11th or when the program is full.
