Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Sam Gilmore of www.leisurelanephoto.com/school-photography is a Gold Coast Australia based photographer who has been part of the PhotoBizX community for years. I've worked with him and seen how much he's been working to succeed — from exploring different genres of photography, a range of marketing and advertising ideas, reworking his websites and throwing everything he can at photography as a business. I felt like he was on the right track but also had the feeling that he needed to find what works for him to make all this work pay off. Then last week, he popped up in the member's Facebook group after being quiet for months with this post… Andrew, I thought I'd share some wins! I've dived into kindy photography this year and have had amazing feedback from centres and families. I spoke with you a few months back, really worried about cash flow, and since then, I've had my two biggest months, and it's been amazing (and a relief) at the same time. I've got my last kindy for the year this week, so the turnover won't be the same for the next few months, but celebrating the wins for now and can get on to booking more and growing for next year 😁 August revenue $12k September revenue $21k I've learned so many little tips over the years listing to the podcast that have helped me land these jobs and get the feedback I have so far. Right after that, I asked if he'd be up for an interview. Listen in to hear how to add kindergarten photography to your business for the win.
