Facebook has moved one more step further as beneficial social media by becoming a direct income generation tool for professional photographers.
Not only has the highly popular social networking website become the marketing medium of choice for entrepreneurial-minded professionals, several photographers using the system have figured out an ingenious way to use Facebook to prospect for new business and convert those prospects into paying clients as well.
One success instance is photographer Monica Sigmon who figured out a way to generate a steady stream of prospects for her high-end Williamsburg Virginia-based portrait studio which was experiencing a slow down in sales by offering a free 10-minute portrait session for Facebook day. Not only did she promote her free portrait session using her Facebook profile, she delivered the final images to her clients through her account as well.
The results blew her away not only did she fill her calendar and her studio to capacity but she also racked up over $1,200 dollars in sales for only a few hours worth of work.
Her customers loved it, as did her staff and Sigmon was elated by the energy and excitement of providing a service that is needed with a passion she enjoys sharing her love for photography. Because of her results other photographers in her circle began began asking her how she did it, what was the exact steps she took to make it all happen.
So Monica teamed up with information marketing coach and fellow photographer Rodney Washington to create the Free Photos For Facebook Portrait system a digital course that helps professional photographers follow in her footsteps.
The two entrepreneurs conducted a highly attended two hour free teleseminar where Sigmon was interviewed by Washington and together laid out her complete step-by-step system on how she did it.
The result: ‘Free Photos For Facebook Portrait System: A Step-by-Step Quick Start Action System’ that includes, Monica Sigmon's signature Photoshop templates, MP3 audio from the teleseminar, PDF transcript including web links and process maps to visually walk photographers through the entire process.
