Are you posting on social media just to "post something," hoping it leads to a booking?In this special episode, I’m sitting down with Sharon Canovas, a talented pet and family photographer based in Ontario (and a professional stuntwoman!). Sharon joined my Consistent Bookings Workshop because she was tired of the being overwhelmed with marketing and wanted a clear path forward.We dive deep into how she went from random social media posts to mapping out her entire year of marketing in advance. Sharon shares exactly how implementing a proper marketing strategy took her from uncertainty to being fully booked for the entire Spring season for the first time ever.If you think you don't have time to market your business, you need to hear this. Sharon balances her photography business while working 15-hour days on film sets doing stunts and she still made it happen.In this episode, we cover:The shift from "Scattered" to Strategic: How Sharon stopped posting random "cute dog" photos and started posting with a purpose.Planning 12 Months Out: How mapping out the year eliminated her anxiety about "what to do next".The Power of AI Tools: How Sharon uses the tools from the workshop to brainstorm social media posts and emails in her dogs' voices, saving her hours of work.Passive vs. Active Marketing: Why relying on social media alone isn't enough and how Sharon used pop-up events to drive leads.The "Walk the Talk" Difference: Why it matters to learn from an educator who is still actively shooting and testing strategies in the trenches.Memorable Quote:"I took December off...
