In "Unlocking Revenue Streams: Photo Organizing for Photographers," I sit down with the incredible Caroline Guntur, The Swedish Organizer, to talk about a game-changing skill for photographers. 💰📸

We're diving deep into the world of digital photo organizing, and trust me, Caroline's insights are pure gold! ✨

Jump right in and give it a listen! Let's unlock those new revenue streams together!

Working with my clients brings me so much joy, which is why I'm thrilled to read reviews like this: "Charlene is kind, patient, and thorough. My community ran smoother with her as the community manager." Thanks so much, Natalie , for sharing your experience!

Have you ever heard of the compound effect? It’s the principle that small consistent action over a long period of time has greater impact than big, short-term changes.

I spend 30 minutes on Instagram daily to connect with all of my friends, and followers, and to learn about trends that are happening. I might not post every day, but I'm there supporting and learning from others. Showing up for others every day is so important!

Your turn - what's one thing you do every day to move the needle for your goals?

I've got something extraordinary lined up for you this Wednesday, September 13th, 2023! 🎙️ Join me in a heart-to-heart conversation with the incredibly talented photographer Ravin Goyal.

We're diving into his journey from childhood curiosity to crafting a powerful brand through his lens. From fashion to landscapes, he's painting his world, one frame at a time. 🌆👗

I didn't see this coming 👀 I was happily learning, bumping around in, and trying to figure out how everything was organized in my less-than-utilized CRM.

Mind you, with how much I used this client management tool (I set it up for a client), you would think that I knew the software backward and forwards. 🤫 I won't say which one. (BTW, just released a blog post about this.)

Then, one day, my client asked me to help her with her 17hats. As soon as I logged in, I took a look at her dashboard. I was in love! 😍
The dashboard appealed to my creative aesthetic and my organizational brain. I was hooked! I signed up that day, ditching my old software promptly.

The only time I look back at that old software/ CRM is when I need to get an old asset that I built in the platform. However, I don't think I've been back for years now.

They say things don't always go as planned, but that's not always bad. Sometimes, they end up even better than you imagined! Has there been a time your life took a turn for the unexpected?

"Can you customize 17hats to my Client Experience and Photography Sessions?" That’s a great question — and it’s one I get asked quite often. The answer?

Absolutely, Your client experience and sessions are as unique as yours; I am here to tailor your 17hats to match it perfectly. From inquiry to delivery, I'll ensure your client interaction reflects your business and creates an unforgettable luxury experience.

Why choose 17hats? And why choose now❓
As someone who enjoys working with photographers, there's nothing more satisfying for me than seeing a burnt-out photographer become relieved, confident, excited, and ultimately happy knowing that their client experience is working for them. 17hats is the platform I use to manage my clients as well as my podcast guests. So I know how incredible it can be to have one place to manage both "businesses" and be able to provide a seamless client experience for everyone. It isn't always easy to balance it all but 17hats lets me breathe and sleep at night knowing that all my ducks are in a row.

So...

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge all the wonderful moms out there who have a passion for photography. Your dedication and enthusiasm do not go unnoticed, and I want you to know that your presence is appreciated. Thank you for being here and sharing your talents with the world.

It’s been one of those days where I know I will head down and do the work, even if it is Labor Day. 🤣
So, naturally, I need my fave drink within reach!

Water is always my go-to, so you'll see me with a water bottle in hand. 💦 Otherwise, coffee with oat milk has been my latest pick-me-up drink. However, I've already had my first PSL! 🍁🧡🥤.

Comment below with your go-to drink order, and let’s get to work!
