Content is said to be king, and photographers know it better than anyone else. Perhaps their most valuable asset is the imagery a photographer creates, but many don’t use this asset to sell and expand their photography business.
However it is helpful to better understand what content marketing is and why it is ideal for professional photographers, before deploying this as a strategy in your business.

Content Marketing Overview:

Content marketing is not a new concept, and has been the buzz phrase of marketing for some time now. Many photographers, though, really don’t completely understand how to do it in the industry.

There are also a lot of misconceptions about what content marketing is and isn’t about.

What is Content Marketing?

Content marketing is a strategic approach to marketing that focuses on developing and delivering useful, appropriate and reliable content to attract and maintain a clearly identified audience and, eventually drive profitable consumer action.

Why is Creating Content Important?

At its core, content creation allows you to demonstrate to the world what you are an expert at. The content you create determines your role as an expert in your room, whether it’s blog posts, videos, or helpful guides.

And in establishing faith, this is significant. To attract companies, being an expert and building confidence go hand in hand. Together they are a strong combination that can help you expand your business in photography.

In addition to generating awareness and building trust, creating content also enables you to highlight what makes you unique. In the content you make, your personality and unique differentiators will come out which helps your target market to learn more about you.

A connection between you and your target market is created by consistently creating content. Content helps you build a steady stream of leads and customers for your company over the long run.



Content Marketing for Photographers

We work with customers in all different niches and verticals at my marketing agency. Nearly every digital marketing strategy we recommend is central to content creation, and it is always a big investment for businesses to make.

But there’s a leg up for photographers… they already have the content. In a way that can be distributed, they just have to pull it together.

Your images, and the storeys behind the images, are the content. The manner in which the images were created and how they related to the images that the customers wanted. The tales behind the customers or the company, and how that played into the images.

You have a leg up over other industries because you are paid to create content for your customers! This is what makes content marketing perfect for photographers.

Content Marketing Benefits for Photographers:

  • Stay Top Of Mind
  • Build Trust
  • Establish Authority
  • Gain Operational Efficiencies
  • Gain Long Term Traffic
  • Build Sustainability

The best approach for photographers to deploy content marketing is that you’re already making content for your customers. You can get both short and long-term benefits for your business with the right strategy and consistent content creation and publishing.
