It is no secret that people search the web for almost everything. Not only that, people also search out companies that they might do business with for reviews as well. Over 90% of all transactions now have some sort of search engine component to them. GO BACK AND RE-READ THAT SO THAT IT SINKS IN!!
When we started, we had a very small marketing budget. It was exactly ZERO dollars annually. Out of necessity, I dedicated myself to learning SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing), spending almost 16 hours per day marketing this site.
In June of 2006, the site hit # 1 on Google and we started getting daily requests to shoot weddings. With that many requests, our income was only limited by the amount of Saturdays that we had to shoot.
We have averaged over 45 weddings per year over the last few years. In 2009, we shot over 60 weddings with an average per wedding revenue of about $1,500. This means between $60-90k per year with an average workload of 23-28 hours per wedding. As a professional videographer, you can literally work part-time and make full-time money.
The biggest reason I have had such tremendous success is because of Google rankings (see the right side of the page) As I mentioned, I am an expert in SEO and SEM. I would love to help you with your photography or videography business by optimizing your site and increasing your Google rankings for you in your city.
Say you live in Chicago. It would be great to be the number one site when someone searches “chicago videographer” right? Absolutely. Chicago videography searches are over 4,000 monthly. You would kill it there if you ranked.
Search optimization runs $390 per month with no contract or minimum time requirements. To see some of my other successes, take a look at my Twitter page: www.twitter.com/smartcabbage
