What if we told you there's a marketing strategy that actually gets BETTER with age—unlike that Instagram reel that dies after 48 hours? In this episode, we're talking about blogging for photographers and why it's hands-down one of the most powerful tools you can use to grow your business, especially when you're relocating or starting fresh in a new market. Melissa shares how her COVID-era blog posts are STILL driving inquiries from across the country, and Alison reveals how she booked clients before even arriving in Hawaii—all thanks to strategic blogging. But here's where it gets real: What do you do when you've already blogged your favorite locations? We workshop this exact problem in real-time, showing you how to turn ONE location into multiple SEO-optimized blog posts that speak directly to your ideal clients. What you'll learn: Why blog posts age like fine wine while social media posts have a 48-hour shelf life The exact blogging strategy Alison used to book clients BEFORE arriving in Hawaii and hit the top 5 Google rankings in under a year The biggest mistake photographers make when blogging the same location multiple times (stop using the location name over and over!) How to transform ONE popular photo location into 5+ different blog posts with topics like "What to Wear for Beach Family Photos," "How to Prep Toddlers," and "Why All My Sessions Are at Sunrise" The secret to beating writer's block: breaking blog posts into bite-sized sections that make content creation easy ‌ Tired of being invisible on Google?

Moving your business is scary, if even you've done it before. You just don't have a crystal ball to see into the future. The first time in any business move is to acknowledge what you can control and what you can't… and that all starts in our own head. This is scary. No need to deny it. But name the fears, what is most fearful for you and then let's make a plan to conquer! ‌Get a FREE pre-move business checklist at alisonbell.co As always if you have questions, feel free to reach out to either of us! @‌alisonbellphotog on IG or Melissa at Melissaarlena.com Keepitmovingpod.com Share this episode on socials with #Keepitmovingpod

Between the two of us, we have combined 27 years in photography,10 years in IT and have lived through 9 business relocations. 4 moves ago I was frustrated watching my peers grow their businesses in one place while I was starting from scratch again. I knew I couldn't be the only one relocating and wanting more financial stability. Despite my Googling, all I could find were vague blog posts, moderately interesting podcasts but not one truly helpful resource on how to relaunch my business in a new city. Since then, I've streamlined a process to relocate and restart my business faster - booking clients within a month of arriving in my new location. It is possible to have clients waiting for you on the other side! I can help get you there. I've pivoted after 10 years as a wedding photographer to lifestyle newborns and then moved my business twice in 2 years. Each time I used SEO to get found on Google and grow my business. As a former IT nerd, I have a knack for taking technical things and making them simple and relatable. I'm using that superpower for good and helping photographers tackle their website SEO and get booked by their ideal clients!
