The Power of Pinterest Funnels for Service-Based Business Owners

Many of my Photography Pinterest Management clients struggle to know what to blog about, so I thought I would share ideas that I’ve given to them to help you start blogging or blogging more.  I hope you get inspired and start blogging today!

Blog about your photography sessions

I know this is obvious, however so many photographers just throw images on a blog and call it a day.  Instead, you’ll need to write about the session so that all of your important keywords get shared to ensure that Google shares it.  

In this blog, you should share your client. 

Here are a few ideas:

• If you are a wedding photographer, you can add some questions to your questionnaire that you use to create a timeline.  I ask how the couple met, what their most memorable date was, where and how they got engaged, and what they love to do together.  These answers make a fantastic blog post.
• If you are a branding photographer, you can feature your client, their business, and what they do.  Include a link to their website which is helpful for SEO
• If you’re a family photographer, you can ask questions on a questionnaire or ensure you make notes right after your session about the family you photograph.  Talk about how long you’ve been photographing them, talk about how important it is to take family photos for memories and for generations to look back on those photos.

Answer Questions

Anytime you get questions from your clients or potential clients, make sure to write those down as you can create blog posts about those questions.  

Once you write several blogs from that information, you can also include FAQs with links to the blog posts on your website, and you can also have those faqs in email confirmations when a client books.  

All this work will also keep people on your website longer which makes Google happy!

Write about things you wish your clients would do

This one is easy, helpful, and effective!

If you want to have more time for the timeline, write about the benefits of having more time or if you want families to show up early, talk about the benefits of being early for family shoots.  

Giving advice on what you want your clients to do means that you will be doing effective marketing and help them to do what helps you excel.

Tips for Clients

This one is fun! You can share tips that your ideal client will be searching for on Google. 

Here are some ideas:
