No Digital Product? Grow Your Email List Anyway (3 Ideas For Family Photographers)

You don't sell courses. You don't sell PDFs. You sell sessions, and every email list tip online seems to assume you have a shop tab full of digital products. In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on three ways family photographers can grow an email list when all you have to sell are sessions (like THAT is the only thing you do!!!)

I'm talking about this because I see it all the time. Photographers who want a stronger email list keep getting advice built for online educators, myself included. If sessions are your one and only product, these three local collaboration ideas put you in front of the families you want to photograph, and none of them require you to start a podcast or YouTube channel. Grab a notebook, because your action step has a deadline of the end of this week.

What you'll learn in this episodeThe local vendor giveaway setup that hands you a segmented list of moms during the exact season they're thinking about photosWhich local businesses make the best giveaway partners (hint: none of them hold a camera)The giveaway mistake I made years ago that had a family coming back to cash in a session two years laterAND SO MUCH MORE!!!!
