As a photographer, do you rely on local business to stay in business?
Do you own a photography studio and thrive on local business to come walking through your door? What methods do you use to advertise your local services?
Newspaper? Fliers? Mailers?
You’re probably thinking that the only way you can get business from people in your area is if you advertise specifically and directly to the people in your area.
Did you know that by writing frequent free blog posts you can increase your exposure on a local level with more effectiveness than a lame mailer that COSTS MONEY?
I’ve said it before that search engines LOVE blogs. If you don’t have a blog, get one right away. If you do, start including information about your local business. Be sure to include keywords and key phrases in your blog posts that refer to your local business.
For instance, if you own a photography studio in Kansas City that specializes in black and white portraits, you could say this in a blog post, “We are a Photography Studio in Kansas City that specializes in Black and White Portraits.”
Be sure to repeat the information at a normal level throughout your postings. Also be sure to take advantage of the Tags and Categories in your blogging platform to insert keywords as well.
