How Local Seo Keywords Can Be Helpful For Photography Websites | IndeedSEO

Photographers who are familiar with SEO services may already be aware of the term "keyword". You should use these two to five-word phrases in the content of your photography website so that search engines can be sure of what your website is about. You know that choosing a phrase with a very wide scope like "photography" will cause your website to get lost in a sea of ​​results. So how can you keep your online portfolio from sinking?

How To Use Local Keywords

But by using local keywords, you can make your website visible to local users. You just include your location in your keywords. Apart from being essential for local SEO, it is also a smart SEO strategy overall as it will help you develop long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords are a group of related keywords that are too competitive for you to rank for on your own. However, the scope narrows when combined, and your chances of ranking may increase. For example, if you are looking for a professional seo company for your photography website. Most chances you will search like "SEO Company For Photographers" but this is not the right method for doing a local search. You have to search specifically like "SEO company for photographers near me" or you can use location-specific keywords for your searches.

Sussex Survivors Club

Tom Sykes of The Daily Beast dropped an article yesterday about the latest Sussex employee to bail out.

There's some good gossip in the article, such as:

For example, one photographer who was requested to pitch to work for their wedding told The Daily Beast: “It was incredibly exciting to be asked to present for the wedding. I had to go to Kensington Palace where I laid out several mood boards in what was then their office. Eventually, Meghan walked in, took one look at what I had prepared and said, in the meanest way possible, ‘No.’ Then she spun on her heel and walked out. I was left in tears. It was horrible.” Another contractor, a florist, The Daily Beast was told, was “monstered” by Meghan after posting an innocuous message on social media trying to source flowers for a bouquet Meghan had requested they make. The florist vowed never to work with Meghan again despite the prestige associated with such a client. Harry, by contrast, has generally been seen as a considerate and thoughtful boss. Another contractor who worked at his wedding told The Daily Beast how Harry helped set up one of the bars in a marquee before the event kicked off. 

There's also a couple eye-rolly moments like this one:

Reports this week, in the wake of Kettler’s departure, have claimed that 18 people have resigned or left Harry and Meghan Markle’s employ since she married Harry, with nine leaving since they moved to the USA. However, defenders of Harry and Meghan would be quick to point out that some staff, such as James Holt, who moved to America with the Sussexes, have remained in post for many years, and point out that there is plenty of churn in Prince William and Princess Kate’s office too, but they don’t get accused of being bad bosses every time a new hire doesn’t work out.

(Eye-rolly because why do we even need to drag William and Kate into this to begin with? Oh, I forgot. Because Tom needs his paycheck and Meghan needs her SEO.)

Anyway. I was going to do a deep dive into the photographer and florist to see if there's any more details there but...18 ex-staffers seems awfully low compared to all the stories that have trickled out over the years.

So let's count them!

Kensington Palace Survivors

Christian Jones. Meghan was papped taking him to lunch, causing many to believe she poached him from Burberry and he was working directly for her; however, when the household split, Christian stayed at KP with the Cambridges. I'm too lazy at the moment to check, but I think Christian was one of the four KP staffers that planned to testify in one of the lawsuits, and I'm fairly certain Meghan's pissed at him about something (or everything) because Endgame ended up being a hit job on Christian.

Amy Pickerill. She was formerly Harry's PA but transferred to staff Meghan during the engagement and was so closely trusted by Meghan that Amy was given the honorable task of...airport duty? (Amy was tapped to pick up Doria at the airport for the wedding.) Amy is suspected to be one of the two PAs that Meghan bullied, descriptions of which Jason Knauf included in his letter. Amy quit working for the Sussexes, went private for a little bit, but was then immediately hired by The Royal Foundation, where she became involved with Earthshot, where Kate was overheard greeting her with "Well done, Amy!" It's also believed that Amy is the PA whom William was once witnessed comforting while she was upset. Amy is also suspected of being the aide seen crying (after being yelled at by Meghan) by one of the royal reporters; the reporter chose not to print this incident when it happened because "privacy" but later admitted it sometime post-Oprah.

Melissa Toubati. Formerly Robbie William's PA, she joined KP during the engagement and was assigned to the Sussexes' staff, where she helped plan the wedding and the Australia tour. She quit after about six months or so after the Australia tour, where allegedly Meghan threw a cup of tea and/or a pair of scissors at her, which allegedly led to a handsome payoff by the BRF and a NDA. She is the aide that Valentine Low described as getting fired for something she didn’t do, suspected to be related to a disagreement over Meghan’s accepting of freebies. Harry then threw her under the bus in Spare, writing that he and Meghan turned her in to HR for taking freebies that were sent to Meghan. (Thanks for the correction, anon! Original text left below.) Melissa is thought to be the second of two PAs referenced in Jason's letter.

did get a shoutout from Harry in Spare, who said that Melissa and Meghan butted heads over Meghan wanting to keep all the clothes she was given while Melissa was in favor of following protocol (i.e., returning all the clothes or sending payment for each item received).

Samantha Cohen. She was a valued aide to Queen Elizabeth, given to the Sussexes to help Meghan learn the ropes and whip their staff into shape. Samantha the Panther famously accompanied Meghan on her first (only) engagement with The Queen - yes, the hatless toilet tank engagement - and to Australia. Sam's assignment to the Sussexes was just supposed to be a few weeks, but it stretched for well over a year. Samantha later made private remarks that have since become prophetic, that Meghan had no interest in getting along with anyone (or something to that effect) and she has also made comments that Meghan often screamed at the staff (including her) and pushed Samantha past her breaking limit.

Edward Lane Fox. He was Harry's valued aide, having worked for him for five years and is largely the brains behind Invictus Games. He announced his departure from the Sussexes' staff a few weeks before the wedding, allegedly citing Meghan as the reason why he was leaving. He continues to serve on Invictus Games' board. About six months before the wedding, Ed gave Meghan a 30-page dossier on being a member of the BRF, on everything from curtsey protocol to fashion tips to advice about walkabouts to information about charities and public life. Meghan apparently refused to read it.

Sonia Lane Fox. ELF’s wife. I can't find her name or many details about her, but she supposedly worked for Meghan during the engagement and couldn't take it anymore. She left soon after ELF did.

Edit: I’m getting asks from anons saying that ELF and Amy Pickerill are married but that’s not true - at least not in 2018-2019 when all this went down. I did some insomnia research and found this list of Sussex wedding guests, where ELF is mentioned as attending with his wife Sonia (and here is their engagement announcement). ELF and Sonia could very well be divorced now and Ed remarried to Amy (but still, I doubt that because there would be mentioned in some of the stories about former Sussex staff); however, since what is known about ELF’s wife working for the Sussexes is dated to the wedding, this means Sonia and she remains a separate entry.

Unnamed Assistant. Bower discusses this assistant in Revenge, saying this particular individual once had to call Meghan after hours for clarification, which led to Meghan screaming at her "you can't do anything right, I'll do it myself."

Sara Latham. Technically Sara didn't quit the Sussexes, the Sussexes quit her. She worked for the Sussexes all the way through Megxit, after which she was absorbed by Buckingham Palace.

Natalie Campbell. Natalie was a KP staffer mostly well known for the work she did with Meghan's Hubb Cookbook (aka I think Natalie did all the work and Meghan just posed for the photos). It's not clear what other work she may have done for the Sussexes (or the Cambridges) or how/on what terms she left the Sussexes' staff.

Clara Loughram. Clara's an interesting staffer. She initially came into the Sussexes' employ while working at KP. She helped with the wedding planning and was the woman who gave Meghan her flowers when she arrived at St. George's Chapel for the wedding. She stuck by the Sussexes' when the household split and lost her job through Megxit; however, the Sussexes later re-hired Clara as a freelancer for Archewell, who worked on their UK projects but Clara has since left the Sussexes' employment.

Edit: Apparently Clara established her own company that the Sussexes continue to contract for support planning their overseas work, according to some anons. I’ll still leave Clara in this list because she doesn’t technically work personally for the Sussexes anymore.

Jason Knauf. The big kahuna. Everyone knows Jason's story. He was the Communications guy for KP, working with William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan. When the household split, Jason stayed at KP with the Cambridges. He advised Meghan on her letter to Tom and poked a lot of holes in her testimony. He also wrote a damning letter about Meghan's behavior towards staff that led to the bullying investigation, which was DOA.

Katrina McKeever. She was part of the communications team at KP and was said to have also helped Meghan with the wedding planning. She quit just before the Australia trip, allegedly over Meghan's harsh criticism of how certain wedding plans were executed though Meghan denies criticizing anyone.

Melissa Crow. She used to be Madonna's assistant and allegedly worked for the Sussexes but quit abruptly. There's not a whole lot of information out there about her - it's totally possible that people confused her for Melissa Toubati, but I'm including her anyway on this list.

Unnamed Female RPO. This woman quit after (or in the middle of) the Sussexes' Australasia trip. Many suspect her to be the blonde RPO seen escorting Meghan through the terrifying Fiji market.

Staffer Who Quit In Africa. An unnamed staffer who quit the Sussexes' office - or pulled out of consideration for a Sussex position - after joining the team for the Sussexes' South Africa visit.

The Midnight Nanny. One of the nannies hired by Harry and Meghan after Archie was born allegedly quit mid-shift in the middle of the night over the Sussexes' behavior.

Another Unnamed Nanny. If I'm remembering the details correctly, the Sussexes went through several nannies before finding "the perfect fit." I think there were three nannies trialled, including the midnight nanny (see above).

Another Unnamed Assistant. I don't know if this is the same unnamed assistant as the one further up or if this is someone who's already been named, but there was a second assistant who Tom Bower claims Meghan threw under the bus with her freebies.

Let's take a break for a second. That's 18 known staffers that quit working for the Sussexes. (Okay, 17 because Sara Latham didn't technically quit.) Already we've blown Tom Sykes's estimation out of the water. Again, 18 people that quit their jobs in a span of 23 months. But sure, let's talk about the turnover in William and Kate's staff.

And we're not even counting the RPOs Meghan pissed off by treating like her personal servants!

Archewell Survivors

Ben Browning. He was the head of content for Archewell and worked the Netflix deal. He quit after the docuseries.

Bennett Levine. He was also involved in the Netflix deal with Archewell.

Catherine St-Laurent. She's the Gates Foundation poach. Didn't last very long, less than a year I think. Not really sure what her role was. I think she was supposed to be like a CEO or an Executive Officer to Archewell. Her quitting was the subject of a CDAN rumor alleging that no one actually likes the Sussexes, they're just working for the resume credit.

Josh Ketter. Harry's CEO-assistant who quit this week after only three months in the position. The Sussexes are spinning it as his employment was only temporary. Sure, Jan.

Fara Taylor. She was hired to do Archewell's marketing but lost her job when they "streamlined" the Archewell staff. (aka they didn't have money to pay their staff.)

Rebecca Sananes. She was on the Archewell Audio side of things and helped Meghan with the podcast. She quit (or was "let go" - it's not clear which) after Spotify failed to renew Archetypes for a season 2.

Mandana Dayani. She's the big kahuna of post-Megxit, and the staffer who worked the longest with Meghan. She served in a COO-type role for Archewell, overseeing much of the charity work and helping Meghan with her personal brand development. Mandana did accompany Meghan to Uvalde. Mandana allegedly abandoned Meghan, leaving her high and dry by creating American Riviera Orchard for Meghan but not doing any of the paperwork or developing any ideas for product.

Toya Holness. Archewell's press secretary. She was said to be a mini-Meghan or a "Meghan in suits" (something like that, which didn't make sense). She didn't last very long.

Now, Tom Sykes said there were 9 staffers who left the Sussexes after they moved to California. This is only 8 people. I'm not sure who the ninth is - maybe he's counting Clara, who was rehired by the Sussexes post-Megxit? If so:

Clara Loughram. Clara's an interesting staffer. She initially came into the Sussexes' employ while working at KP. She helped with the wedding planning and was the woman who gave Meghan her flowers when she arrived at St. George's Chapel for the wedding. She stuck by the Sussexes' when the household split and lost her job through Megxit; however, the Sussexes later re-hired Clara as a freelancer for Archewell, who worked on their UK projects but Clara has since left the Sussexes' employment.

Edit: Apparently Clara established her own company that the Sussexes continue to contract for support planning their overseas work, according to some anons. I’ll still leave Clara in this list because she doesn’t technically work personally for the Sussexes anymore.

So in sum. That's 26 known people who've quit working for the Sussexes. There's probably a few more that we don't know about, both from the KP side and the Archewell/post-Megxit side.

Tom Sykes can go ahead and shove his "let's talk about Kate not being able to keep a CEO" talk where the sun don't shine because 26 people quitting is not the same as 3 people quitting.

How to Make Side Hustle Money on Etsy using Digital Product “Niches” Such as PDFs, Spreadsheets, and PowerPoint Templates

Are you looking for a lucrative side hustle that allows you to make money from the comfort of your own home? Selling digital products on Etsy, such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint templates can be an excellent way to earn some extra cash.

Here are a few potential niches you could consider:

Printable art: This is a popular niche on Etsy, and you can create and sell downloadable prints of your own artwork, designs, or photographs.

Wedding invitations: If you have a talent for graphic design, you can create beautiful wedding invitation templates that customers can customize themselves.

Digital planner pages: With the growing popularity of digital planners, you can design and sell digital planner pages that customers can use to plan and organize their lives.

Social media templates: As more and more people use social media for marketing and branding, you can create and sell templates for posts, stories, and ads that customers can use to elevate their online presence.

Resume templates: If you have experience in human resources or recruiting, you can design and sell resume templates that help job seekers stand out in a crowded job market.

While earnings can vary widely depending on factors such as the type of products you sell, their price point, and the amount of marketing you do, according to Etsy's 2020 Q2 financial report, the marketplace generated over $346 million in revenue from digital sales during that quarter alone. This indicates that there is a significant market for digital products on Etsy and the potential for sellers to make a substantial amount of money from their sales.

It’s important to note that there are costs associated with selling on Etsy, such as listing fees, transaction fees, and payment processing fees, which can impact your earnings. Additionally, you’ll need to invest time and effort into creating high-quality products, marketing your shop, SEO (creating searchable hashtags) and providing excellent customer service to increase your sales and grow your revenue.

Its crucial to set up and optimize an Etsy shop! If you’re looking for a platform to get your products online quickly, Etsy is a great place to start.

Creating an Etsy account is the first step toward launching your storefront. To open a shop online, you must first become a registered site member. Once you have an Etsy account, you can open a shop.

Next, you will need to choose a name for your Etsy store. Etsy requires each shop owner to use a unique name, so it’s common for sellers to find that their first choice is unavailable

Choose your products. You can sell almost anything like eBooks, PDF & PowerPoint templates in your Etsy shop, but it’s best to start by focusing on a few complementary products so customers will understand what your shop is all about.

Create your shop. When opening an Etsy shop, the site will direct you through the process of creating your online storefront and choosing your language and currency preferences.

A common question for first-time sellers is how to price items on Etsy. Correctly pricing your products ensures you get the best return on investment (ROI), but it will take some time and analysis.

Before opening your Etsy shop to customers, make sure you have enough products to sell. You don’t want to run out after your first few sales and have to scramble to produce more. You also don’t want to overstock any one item. Digital products such as “templates” are easier to stock as they live in the cloud (Etsy shop).

After Etsy approves your shop name and you have all of your inventory ready, you can start listing on Etsy. The key to solid Etsy sales is good product photos and a killer description that uses industry keywords.

Next, you’ll need to choose the type(s) of payments you’ll accept. Etsy Payments is the most popular route on Etsy as it allows you to accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Etsy gift cards, and some bank transfer services.

Receive orders: When a customer purchases an item from your shop, the payment is processed through Etsy Payments, and the funds are held by Etsy until the order is marked as shipped or the digital product has been downloaded.  Once you’ve shipped the physical item, you should mark the order as shipped on Etsy, which releases the payment to your account. The payment will be deposited into your bank account within a few business days, depending on your location and bank.

Learning to package your products safely and securely and ship them quickly helps build your reputation on Etsy. Buy proper shipping supplies, and use bubble wrap for delicate items.  On Etsy, you can use calculated shipping so the shipping is automatically calculated for you. Calculated shipping looks at your location, the buyer’s location, and the size and weight of the listing item to determine the shipping cost.  Again, selling “digital products” are MUCH easier than actual products such as art, clothes, etc., as you don’t have to worry about drop shipping.

As of 2023, here are the current fees for selling on Etsy:

Listing Fees: It costs $0.20 USD to list an item on Etsy, and the listing remains active for four months or until the item sells, whichever comes first.

Transaction Fees: When an item sells, Etsy charges a transaction fee of 5% of the item’s sale price, including the cost of shipping. This fee also applies to any applicable sales tax.

Payment Processing Fees: If you use Etsy Payments to process your sales, you’ll be charged a payment processing fee, which varies depending on your location and the currency you use. For sellers based in the United States, the payment processing fee is 3% + $0.25 USD per transaction.

Etsy Payments also handles any necessary refunds or disputes, and provides you with a record of all your transactions and payments. It’s important to note that there are fees associated with using Etsy Payments, as mentioned in my previous response.

Selling digital products on Etsy can be a great way to make money on the side, especially if you have a talent for creating unique and useful products such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint templates. By following the strategies and tips outlined in this article, you can create a successful side hustle that not only generates extra income but also allows you to express your creativity and passion. Remember to put in the time and effort to create high-quality products, optimize your listings, and promote your products to your target audience. With persistence and dedication, your Etsy side hustle can become a valuable source of income and a fulfilling hobby.

"Capture More Clients: How Digital Marketing Can Skyrocket Your Photography Leads"

Introduction

In a world where everyone with a smartphone considers themselves a photographer, standing out in the professional photography industry has never been more challenging. Whether you specialize in weddings, portraits, or commercial photography, the key to attracting new clients lies in mastering digital marketing. By implementing strategic digital marketing tactics, photographers can significantly increase their leads and bookings, transforming their business from a local favorite to a widely recognized brand.

The Importance of Digital Marketing in Photography

Digital marketing is no longer just an option for photographers; it's a necessity. In today’s digital age, potential clients are more likely to discover a photographer through online searches, social media, or online reviews than through word of mouth. This shift has made digital marketing the cornerstone of any successful photography business.

Digital Manish Bagwe, a digital marketing expert based in Mumbai, emphasizes the importance of a strong online presence: “Photographers who invest in digital marketing are not just selling a service; they are selling an experience. A well-crafted online presence can showcase your work, build trust with potential clients, and ultimately drive more leads.”

Take, for instance, a local wedding photographer who leveraged social media and SEO to double their client inquiries within a year. By consistently posting high-quality content and optimizing their website for relevant keywords, they were able to rank higher on search engines and attract more clients.

Essential Digital Marketing Strategies for Generating Photography Leads

A. Building a Professional Website

Your website is often the first impression potential clients will have of your brand. A visually appealing and user-friendly website is essential for showcasing your work and converting visitors into clients.

Key Elements to Include: Make sure your website features a clean, easy-to-navigate design with a strong emphasis on your portfolio. Include detailed information about your services, client testimonials, and a clear call to action (CTA) that encourages visitors to contact you or book a session.

B. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is crucial for making your photography business discoverable online. By optimizing your website for search engines, you can attract more organic traffic from people searching for photography services in your area or niche.

Local and Niche-Specific Keywords: Use keywords related to your photography niche and location. For example, if you’re a wedding photographer in Mumbai, target keywords like “Mumbai wedding photographer” or “best wedding photographer in Mumbai.”

Image SEO: Optimize your images by using descriptive file names, alt tags, and captions. This not only improves your website’s SEO but also ensures that your photos appear in image search results.

C. Social Media Marketing

Social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook are invaluable tools for photographers. These platforms allow you to showcase your work, engage with potential clients, and build a loyal following.

Showcasing Your Work: Regularly post high-quality images, behind-the-scenes content, and client testimonials. Use Instagram Reels and Stories to share short videos that give potential clients a glimpse into your creative process.

Engagement Strategies: Engage with your audience by responding to comments, participating in relevant conversations, and using popular hashtags to increase your content’s visibility.

D. Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)

PPC advertising can provide a quick boost in visibility and lead generation, especially when targeting specific photography services.

Targeted Campaigns: Use Google Ads and Facebook Ads to create campaigns targeting specific demographics and geographic areas. For instance, you can create ads for “engagement photography in Mumbai” and target newly engaged couples within your city.

Effective Ad Copy: Highlight your unique selling points (USPs) in your ad copy. Include compelling CTAs like “Book Your Session Today” to encourage immediate action.

E. Content Marketing

Content marketing is a powerful way to build your brand’s authority and attract potential clients by offering valuable, informative content.

Creating Valuable Content: Write blog posts on topics like “Top Tips for a Perfect Wedding Photo Shoot” or “How to Prepare for Your Family Portrait Session.” Share behind-the-scenes stories, client success stories, and photography tips that showcase your expertise.

Utilizing Video Content: Video is an engaging format that can help potential clients connect with you. Create video tutorials, share client testimonials, or post highlights from recent photo shoots to give clients a taste of what they can expect.

F. Email Marketing

Email marketing allows you to nurture relationships with potential clients and keep your services top of mind.

Building an Email List: Encourage website visitors and social media followers to sign up for your newsletter by offering incentives like discounts or exclusive content.

Personalized Campaigns: Use email segmentation to send targeted messages based on client interests or previous interactions. For example, send wedding photography tips to engaged couples or offer special deals to past clients for family photo sessions.

Leveraging Online Directories and Review Platforms

Being listed on online directories and review platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, and photography-specific directories can significantly boost your visibility.

Importance of Being Listed: Ensure your business is listed on all relevant platforms with complete and up-to-date information. This makes it easier for potential clients to find you and learn more about your services.

Collecting and Showcasing Reviews: Encourage satisfied clients to leave positive reviews. Display these reviews prominently on your website and social media to build trust and credibility.

The Role of Analytics and Data in Refining Your Strategy

Data-driven decision-making is key to refining your digital marketing strategies and maximizing your return on investment (ROI).

Tracking Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics to monitor website traffic, user behavior, and conversion rates. Social media insights can help you understand which types of content resonate most with your audience.

Adapting Strategies Based on Data: Regularly review your analytics data to identify what’s working and what isn’t. For example, if a particular blog post is driving a lot of traffic, consider creating more content on similar topics.

Digital Manish Bagwe advises, “Analytics provide invaluable insights that can help photographers fine-tune their digital marketing strategies. By understanding your audience’s behavior, you can make informed decisions that lead to better results.”

Building a Strong Online Brand

Your online brand is a reflection of your photography style, values, and personality. Consistency is key to building a strong, recognizable brand.

Consistency Across Platforms: Ensure that your visual identity, messaging, and tone are consistent across all digital platforms, from your website to your social media profiles.

Engaging with Your Audience: Build a community around your brand by regularly interacting with your followers. Respond to comments, engage in conversations, and make your audience feel valued.

Challenges in Digital Marketing for Photographers and How to Overcome Them

Like any other industry, digital marketing for photographers comes with its own set of challenges:

High Competition: The photography industry is highly competitive, making it difficult to stand out. Solution: Focus on your unique selling points, such as a distinct photography style or specialized services, and highlight them in all your marketing efforts.

Staying Updated with Trends: Digital marketing trends and algorithms are constantly changing. Solution: Stay informed by following industry blogs, attending webinars, and continuously experimenting with new strategies.

Maintaining Work-Life Balance: Balancing marketing efforts with the demands of running a photography business can be challenging. Solution: Consider outsourcing certain marketing tasks or using automation tools to streamline your processes.

Conclusion

Digital marketing has the power to elevate your photography business, attracting more leads and increasing your bookings. By implementing strategies such as building a professional website, optimizing for SEO, leveraging social media, and utilizing PPC ads, you can skyrocket your photography leads and grow your business.

As Digital Manish Bagwe puts it, “In today’s digital world, photographers who embrace digital marketing are not only surviving but thriving. The right strategies can help you capture more clients and take your business to new heights.”
