Professional Photography Business Education: Frank Donnino’s Model Program

I love writing this blog… That, and helping other professional photographers discover a real sense of peace of mind in their business, has truly become my “magnificent obsession” in life. To that end, I aim to bring a variety of perspectives to the table, something which can be difficult when I am the sole author.

A Model Program For Success

So, today, I’m going to take more of a back seat, and present to you one of the great “secrets” of the industry, a hidden gem by the name of Frank Donnino, from Boynton Beach, Florida, and his amazing model program.

I spent a wonderful sixty minutes talking to Frank on the telephone about his photography, how he came to be where he is, and how he painstakingly developed a system for bringing in a steady flow of clients, cash and profit into his studio.

The system that he’s developed over the last several years, and which is in use by a number of other photographers (including myself) is loosely described as the “modeling program“. The thing that makes the program so exciting is that it can be easily implemented by anyone, anywhere. It really doesn’t matter whether you have a retail studio, operate from home, are a seasoned professional or just starting out – you can make this work.

Basically (and you can get a much better idea of this from listening to the interview) the model program fulfills two very simple needs:

• Moms want to give their children a taste of modeling, risk-free
• Photographers need child models to try out new techniques and build their portfolios

Like all great ideas, it’s that simple! The model program satisfies both of these needs perfectly, and is designed to be efficient, fast, and as enjoyable as possible for the children, moms and photographers alike.

All the details of Frank’s system can be found in our interview, which members can listen to here:

To learn more, and to invest in the system yourself, visit Frank’s Baby Plan web site and follow the link to the modeling program.

For those who might doubt the efficacy of the program, Frank did share some of his financials with me, and which he has kindly allowed me to share with you. Since April 2009, Frank has invested $18,900 in Facebook advertising, to generate sales of $117,500, and a net profit of around $98,500.

That’s an amazing ROI as measured by any standard!

Don’t Wait Too Long!

My advice is simply this: If you are struggling, or even if you just want to kick start your business, then this program is going to be a real asset to your business. You can easily recoup the small investment with one paying client, and Frank is always there to provide support. This program is soon going to get a lot more attention – you need to act on this NOW!
