Let’s face it—you’re a photographer, not a writer. But you understand the importance of having quality, well-written content on your website and blog. You just don’t have the time to create it, and the time you do spend on content takes away from time you could be spending doing photo sessions or editing images for clients.
That’s where a professional content writer can be a lifesaver. As you’re an expert photographer, they’re an expert on copy, and they will create content that people want to read, helping you to reach more people, improve your search engine rankings, and better communicate with the people you want to reach. Check out these six ways a professional content writer can help you grow your photography business and make your life a little easier in the process.
Save time and effort.
Your website needs engaging, well-written content, but how often do you have time to update your blog? You have photos to take and edit, emails to answer, and clients to meet—not to mention all your other obligations and responsibilities.
When a professional content writer takes over creating content for your website, you can rest assured that every blog post and headline will be well thought out and engaging. Plus, they can put together quality content quickly and expertly, freeing up your time to focus on the business and work you love.
Avoid spelling and grammatical errors.
We all make mistakes, but errors on your website can make potential clients doubt your expertise, and that’s the last thing you want. A professional content writer is also a professional editor. They will make sure the work they create for you is free of errors, helping you present your best professional face to your clients.
Benefit from an outside perspective.
When you work with a professional content writer, they’re able to research your business and industry and offer a fresh point-of-view. Since you built and grew your business yourself, you may be too close to it to see new ways to promote your work. A content writer can help you understand what other photographers are doing and what you can do better with your content to promote your business and get more clients. Sometimes it’s really beneficial to get an outside opinion.
Expand your audience.
You want content that’s not only readable and engaging, but also shareable. A professional content writer can help improve your readership and social media engagement by creating content that people enjoy and find informative and useful. They also know how to write content that connects with readers emotionally. After all, people don’t buy products and services—they buy stories.
Improve your SEO.
You may know how important SEO is for your website, but you may not know where to begin with optimizing your content. That’s where a professional writer can help. Not only can they create strong content, but they also know where to place keywords naturally so your content won’t look overstuffed. With the help of a professional content writer, you can improve your site rankings and conversions and grow your business.
Build a solid library of content.
A professional content writer doesn’t just create blog posts and website content. They can also help you with creating effective copy for emails, Facebook ads, newsletters, and any other communications to clients. Plus, any content your writer creates can be used to provide to potential and current clients as a resource, demonstrating that you’re an expert in your industry with a wealth of knowledge to offer.
Quality, well-written content is an investment that will continue to pay off for years to come. The more useful, educational content you have on your website, the easier it will be to drive visitors to your site and convert them into leads who can’t wait to work with you!
Next Steps
Not everyone can afford to hire a professional content writer and we know that. To keep leads coming in, you’ll need to keep producing new content. Most of you don’t have time to be the photographer, accountant, advertiser, SEO expert and web designer all at the same time, which is why we created a content library for photographers. The content library allows photographers to download content templates that are 90% – 95% completed and make it their own. There are only two things you need to do to the content before it’s ready to be published: add your images and add expand the content by adding your personal experience.
To get started, you can either buy access to all the blog posts or get Lifetime Access to all the content and courses on the site. Lifetime Access not only gets you the current content on the site, you’ll also receive access to all content and training courses we add to the site in the future.
