ENDS IN...

My guess is that documenting life LIGHTS UP your soul + you wanna put honest stories on your clients’ walls?

You’ve got the heart + photos, but struggling to find the dreamies who get EXCITED about having their own pictures (enough to wanna hire you?)?

The photo factory over there feels unrewarding? #beenthere

What if you use the tools (you already have) to develop REAL-ationships (thank you Nikki Elledge Brown for coining that term) online rather than focusing on bookings, bookings, bookings?

Put authentic relationships FIRST and accumulate a network of potential clients that stick around (as opposed to ‘liking’ your photo in scrolling and bouncing away to the next photographer in her feed), because their online encounter with YOU was transformative and worth paying attention to.

Creating this kind of experience online + building a community is my jam - only second to being obsessed with documenting life just like you! 

By the way, I'm Marie Masse (pronounced Moss), Founder of Fearless and Framed® and Intentional Documentary™. 

I help photographers see + infuse their photography voice into evergreen, online marketing content to grow an engaged network of dream potential clients. But, after 3 years of Mastery Moment-Seekers, I'm being called to do something a little different...

...that means: 

Mastery Moment-Seekers is going into RETIREMENT (in it's current format)

Snag up THE CONTENT of the Mastery Moment-Seekers Course

(the Marketing Communication specifically for documentary fam photographers)

For a magical retirement party rate of $297.

With MMS, you'll write evergreen, timeless marketing content that:

Feels GOOD. Not salesy, not preachy. 

Makes your dreamies pay attention when scrolling + know YOU're who they wanna work with.

Forges relationships with strangers who connect with YOU (because they aren’t just buying pictures) and adds them to your potential client roster with ease.

Allows what lights YOU up in photography + life to stay front & center of your biz conversations, working for you even when you're not posting daily to FB or IG.

1.

Your next season of promotion will serve a RED HOT group of dreamies, instead of the cold barely-paying-attention audience you've been workin' with. This time, you'll reveal possibility + excitement of what their photos *could* FEEL like with a renewed vision for pictures!

The calls + Virtual Content Creation Bootcamps were instrumental in making sure I got shit done! 

Having you rip apart my work and put it back together was the most instrumental in my learning process.

This course has touched alllll the topics I needed so badly!

Content is immediately accessible and go at YOUR own pace. This is a 12-week course plan with only 8 weeks of content. Why? Because rather than shoving content down your throat, I prefer to see you be actionable. Four implementation weeks are recommended in the schedule, so you DO the work along the way. 

8 weeks of punchy lessons await in an online classroom, accessible 24/7 with LIFETIME access.

Marketing Pre-Game

We’ll talk about time management, your business vision + mindset, being mindful in marketing, and how to market multiple client types while still speaking directly to each one (and why this can be a game-changer).

The Power of Client Knowledge

This module has been a gold mine for MMS students! You'll collect exactly what you need to know about your dream clients before you even begin marketing to them. No, this isn't your typical "Client Avatar" crap. By the end of the lessons, you’ll breakthrough the fear of client rejection and take action using their real perspective paired with your vision.

Turn Responses into Marketing Gold

Going deeper into client knowledge, we’ll talk about their fears, hesitations, and reasons to object to a session with you... and how to transform those negatives into benefits with my personal recipe for creating marketing material.

Email Marketing Foundation

As unsexy as it may sound, this is where you begin to take control of your business. No more leaving it up to chance that someone who “liked” your photo will *hopefully* remember you when they need a photographer. You'll fully set up your email system with welcoming, engaging emails that take your new subscribers from stranger to total fan and I make it easy for you with the Mad Libs Style Email Sequence Template! 

Getting Bookings with Your System

You’ll finish your system by creating content to cultivate those relationships you’ve forged in Module 4. You’ll learn how to get potential clients on the edge of their seat as you make a booking offer. It’s not about attempting the sale once, it’s about making a long-lasting relationship so they come back to you, even if they truly weren’t ready for a session today. We'll also navigate the tech side of your simple sales funnel and GET IT DONE.

Build Your Audience Like Wildfire

Ever feel like posting to social media or your blog results in crickets? No more. This lesson is all about traffic strategies. The more people we get into your system, the quicker your network will grow. This will allow you to hammer out both sides of the number + relationship game. We’ll talk which metrics to monitor, so you can tweak your marketing system until you find your sweet spot.

Money, Marketing, & Action

Look at your income potential, create a marketing calendar, set a goal. We’ll talk about other income opportunities in addition to sessions + product sales and break it all down into attainable goals set to your calendar. Wondering if you can apply these teachings to your workshop, mentorship program, or ebooks? Yes! This is one of my all-time fave lessons, because you'll blend marketing into your real-life schedule. Being an entrepreneur with multiple income streams is easier than you think and smart to diversify where your $$$$ comes from.

Build a Client For Life

I’ll teach you the exact system I’ve used for nearly 10 years to yield repeat bookings, more product sales, more referrals, and even more mentoring clients—and it can take less than an hour a week! Discover how much repeat business you can expect to rely on each month + start making it happen. Imagine the ease in re-booking - this is the icing on the cake!

Time dedicated for you to take action on what you’ve learned. You’ll have time to create, share with the group, and gain feedback to remain confident in your efforts.

IS MMS FOR ME?

This is NOT for you if:

you’re looking for something to spike your income in one full swoop, get lost.

you are cynical and negative about trying new things in your business to see results.

you quit when you don’t see results over night or it gets tough.

instead of being resourceful, you can’t lose sight of your personal roadblocks (time, skill weaknesses)

you see your business as a job and don’t want to have more creative freedom and connection with your clients

you need your hand held… I’m supportive (ask any student), but I won’t serve up sure-fire ideas to you, make decisions for you, or do the work FOR you.

you loathe the idea of writing anything (while I can assure you that you CAN write, if you don’t enjoy the process, this course probably isn’t for you)

This IS for you if:

on your inquiry calls, you feel like you must convince or convert every potential client from a traditional portrait session to a documentary client. And if you’re doing it unsuccessfully, you NEED this course!

you feel like marketing is overwhelming… so you just don’t do it.

your marketing plan consists of blogging recent sessions, personal projects, and sharing photos on Facebook or Instagram and *hoping* for inquiries… you definitely need this course.

you feel like when you do market, it’s a waste of your time since blogging, social posts, or emails to your audience is followed by silence.

you’re tired of discounting sessions or giving away freebies JUST to get clients in the door.

you think you know who your target market is, but the reality is that you have no idea. (Hint: a family, specifically a mom, with little kids is not enough)

you are tired of reading blog after blog, trying to decipher the advice to best fit YOU and your business on your own

feel like no one wants documentary sessions (so untrue!)

feel like you need to find a way to stand out from the sea of many local photographers you compete for business with

overall you know where you want your business to go, but you have no clue how to get there

you like to make doing business fun and want to feel a part of a small, intimate team working to empower each other

money is NOT the driving force in wanting this course. I can promise you, this course won’t give you overnight bookings. It WILL help you grow your network with people who love what you’re doing!

TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT!

This means they’re not hearing the POWER & heart you hear in the buzzwords. You know the ones:

capture the moments

let me tell your story

meaningful

candid

natural

real life

etc

etc

etc

Your already spending time online. In the words of Jack in Titanic: MAKE IT COUNT. Timeless content forges relationships and allows your potential dreamies to think deeper, reflect on their life, and see in a perspective they never knew was possible. Hint: That’s what MMS is about.

If you’re only focusing on the ones who are looking, you’re missing out on an abundance of potential clients who eventually may hire a photographer. You wanna be that go-to when it’s time, right? Connection without an agenda is how you hold their attention.

They are buying something that’s serving an emotional need. Your marketing content needs to speak to those needs (and MMS will help you navigate those needs and how to speak to them!)

If money is what’s holding you back, do not go forward if this is going to put you in a financial hardship. I want you to feel GOOD about your purchase and come into this free of “I need to make my $ back quickly.”

Fact: Your potential clients don’t care about your photography biz like you do.

Fact: There are wayyyyy more people scrolling their newsfeed NOT thinking about hiring a photographer than there are people actively searching for one.

Fact: Your clients are buying more than pictures.

Fact: Mastery Moment-Seekers IS an investment (even at ridiculous Retirement Party pricing!).

If you’ve benefited from the freebies I’ve put on Fearless and Framed, you know the paid stuff is gonna be a whole other level, right (with lifetime access)? #truth
