I am a huge fan of my guest for this week, Andrew Hellmich. A photographer with 25 years of success and the host of a top-rated photography business podcast, he has done so much to support photographers and photographic educators (like me) with his 612 episodes of Photo Biz Xposed (PhotoBizX), which features industry experts sharing powerful insights on marketing, pricing, advertising, and business growth.
In this episode of The Profitable Photographer, We have a rich conversation about how building powerful relationships, becoming known in your community, and smart networking can take your photography business to the next level.
Here is a taste of what you will hear…
• Wedding photography pricing over the years and how to stay competitive in a saturated market
• A genius upsell trick Andrew learned at an AIPP conference that boosted album sales
• Why networking isn’t about asking for favors—it’s about giving value and building real connections
• My experience with gift certificate partnerships, and Andrew’s success teaming up with a local vet
• A brilliant SEO strategy: Andrew interviews vendors and turns it into blog content that ranks on Google and deepens community ties
He is such a warm and generous soul, and is always full of new actionable tips and inspiring ideas. Let me know your takeaways.
