The Business of Personal Brand Photography Podcast
38: Student Spotlight - Mike Styer on Headshots, Corporate & SEO
March 20th 2023
 
Show Notes
One of my favorite things to do is to connect with photographers who I have trained and see how they have grown in their business. And this guy is a legend in my eyes.
 

Mike Styer is a Philadelphia/Exton-based headshot and branding photographer who works with small businesses, corporations, entrepreneurs, to create "a photographic experience that doesn't suck!"

I was so keen to invite Mike onto the Podcast, cause I just love how he adopted and adapted when we worked together, but he didn't try to flip his entire business model. And best of all, he has been able to increase his average sales significantly as a result.

Mike is also a bit of a marketing geek like me so I was so keen to get him to share what he has learnt about SEO, something I have a basic knowledge and practise of... but this discussion just blew my mind about possibilities of going deeper into SEO.

And as Mike and I both started out young in our businesses, I was keen to open up a discussion about self learning through running a business. And we ended up sharing some funny (not funny) horror stories of roughing it in our early business days.

 

In this episode, Mike Share's...
• How adding personal branding alongside of his sessions nearly 3X his average sale
 

• Selling the images before you even step into the studio

• Efficiency & Simplicity for a better business model

• Pitching for large corporate gigs

• SEO best practices, keywords and hacks
