Two weeks later..
It’s been two weeks since I realized that my photography website, despite having a nice design, look and feel, was pretty much a useless marketing tool for me. And that hurt, but I did it to myself, so I had only myself to blame.
Well, this week I had two calls for Engagements and I took those on Thursday and Friday. So that change must have worked! I updated my engagement page to include the gallery on the page and I got results! Woohoo!
An interesting side-note, my announcements page has almost double the traffic of my other pages, so I figured something needs to be done there. I moved my gallery of announcements to be just like the other galleries, and today I added pricing right in the text. I get over 100 page views a month on that, so hopefully I’ll start getting some bites with that. I shopped around to see the pricing on those ‘all-in-one’ designs where the text is right on the picture and I fall pretty competitively in there, you can get 100 5×7 Announcements printed w/envelope for just $100. That’s a good deal, and with the traffic I’m already getting there, that should pick up real fast!
An update on how I’m doing, I’ve actually got a handful of top 10 rankings on some keywords, top 20 on some other tougher ones. I’m rather proud of myself for that, I haven’t worked too terribly hard on any SEO, but I promise I’ll be working with it every Saturday until I really start getting those done. I’m excited to see where I can take this just with my simple efforts.
