You can find a list of the submitted questions below and as always, Katie was super generous with her answers and gave so much more than she could have when answering these Angela : Would love to know how Katie sets her target audience for Facebook ads. Sue was inspired by Katie's book title, Teddy and Me and was looking for alternative ideas. Some quick suggestions Kids and their Toys Toddlers and Toys Teddys and Toddlers Snuggles and Cuddles Kids and their Comforters My Blankie and Me Jan : If I run a low-volume, higher priced business model, would it be better to create packages at a lower price point? I fear too many people would say no and I'd have three participants. Angela : Andrew, several of us here, have followed another book project method but found we did not get our “ideal client” with the low barrier of entry ($100 participation fee). Holly : Would a book project be a good idea to help get established in a new location? Yulia : Who is actually buying these printed books? I just can’t wrap my head around why anyone would want to buy a book with not just their own child photos. Diana : Is there a minimum number of shoots you suggest for the book? What if it's 100, would you rather do as one big book, or Book 1 and Book 2? Candra : Softcover or hard for your book? What's the best time of year to start a book project – does it matter? Kim : What if you can’t get enough participation for your book project? Deb : What do Katie's sms messages contain? Jon: what percentage of clients in the book spend money vs. just take the shoot and spend nothing Graham : Hope we have time to talk about qualifying/choosing applicants Jina : I really love to hear more details about went wrong with Teddy and Me.
