Videos with a Message

You are Photographing for Women. You are selling to Women. You are Marketing to Women. Even if the Boys come into the shoot it’s predominately a Women’s ‘Shopping Market’

This is NOT a sexist statement this is a fact. It doesn’t matter if you are a Female or Male photographer you too need to know your Audience so you can Market to them.

The Newborn Mother, The Bride, The Mom, The Grandmother are you speaking to these Women? Which of these demographics do you want to attract, speak too?

Are you marketing to the demographic of your genre?

The shopping demographics are internationally known as

• Girl Power 18 – 32 No Children (Saves for a house still sponges off Mom and Dad) Seniors, graduation, 21st Birthday Mother and Daughter shoots

No more complaining about Facebook Algorithm you have NO right to complain about a FREE Social Media Site designed specifically to connect you to the world. They changed the rules a little to enhance their business so lets just adjust and work within their rules. IT’s NOT A CONSPIRACY. Look at it like this Anything that keeps you on Facebook will get seen by more people Example: If I post a link to youtube you will simply not get as many clicks because people want to scroll and watch not leave facebook. I have heard people say that if the video is ON facebook then facebook will not limit how many people see it because they too want the traffic to stay on facebook. I do not know how much of this is true but I did try this.

Last week I posted a link away for a video it got 775 clicks and 249 likes and share then I posted a video organically to my facebook page it got 7900 clicks and 2200 likes and shares see a screenshot of the stats. Don’t be afraid to put the video everywhere YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and embed it on your website the goal here is visibility and remember to link and tag.

Last year Pinterest had a higher video share than YouTube (NOTE I said share not upload) so of course the fastest way to share your video is Pinterest. NOW Pinterest, Facebook, Vimeo and Youtube all want your traffic all of them want to get you on there site. So use them all.

This week In three days this video got over 34,900 views organically posted straight to my business page.
