I’m currently doing a ton of outreach on Google Maps, trying to scrap websites, email and phone numbers to contact event organizers and small businesses for photography services. Do you guys know of any better ways I can do this (already went through my existing contact list btw) I’m always willing to learn, so if you guys can share the best websites, agencies, or resources to find clients that would genuinely help a ton! Appreciate all advice 💪

First off, welcome! I’m Jan Danielewicz, a creative entrepreneur, and photographer + video marketer. My passion lies in helping other creatives like YOU turn your passion for photography into a thriving business. With that being said this is YOUR space to grow, connect, and learn alongside other talented creatives. To get started on the right foot, I’ve put together this post to guide you. My tip: Take your time! We want to know who you are as a person. In your introduction, you can mention the following: - What is your name and how old are you? - Where are you from? - What kind of photo/video work do you do/want to do? These questions are just a few templates for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go through the introductions every now and then and feel free to respond using the REPLY button (: PS: It's definitely worth activating the bell on this post so you know when someone new introduces themselves.

Link your best photos you took this year, (in your humble opinion) 👇 I'll add mine later cause I gotta dip for a couple hours. Would love to come back to at least 50 comments on this post! 😁
