Dear Fellow Photographer
Have you ever faced the challenge of trying as hard as you can to find new clients for your photography business? Do you struggle with knowing how to price your work profitably? Is SEO a mystery to you?
I, too, faced the same problems you're struggling with right now, and there are countless other photographers out there just like you…
But I've had enough of standing idly by while I watch talented individuals close their photography studios, so I would like to invite you to join me and our other Zenologue Insiders in our "fight for peace" in the photography industry…
My name is Nigel Merrick, and I help other professional photographers understand the fundamentals of marketing, SEO and sales so that they can work towards finding peace of mind in their photography business…
Peace of mind… In 1999, when I started out as a professional photographer, with no real idea of what it REALLY took to be a successful working photography business owner, that's all I wanted - Peace of Mind! Like many other professional photographers I struggled for a long time before I finally figured out that marketing, sales, SEO, and other business skills were the things that made really successful photographers!
My goal with this website community is a simple one: To help other photographers find peace of mind in their own businesses, by helping them to clarify their focus on photography business, marketing, sales, and website SEO.
I doesn't matter how long you've been in business as a photographer, or how experienced you are, your photography business should be FUN to work at, not something that deprives you of sleep at night or creates unwanted anxiety in your life, and you deserve to have a true sense of peace of mind at the end of each day, safe in the knowledge that your business is working the way it should be, that your clients love you, and that it's no longer a struggle that makes you dread getting out of bed in a morning…
Through this website and my work as a photography coach I've helped a lot of photographers to rekindle their passion, find their focus, and get moving again in their business. For example, here's what one had to say about her photography SEO coaching experience:
"Nigel is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of SEO. I have been working with him on a one to one basis for a couple of months and I couldn't be more pleased with the results of his in-depth guidance. My website has gone from being nowhere to be found to being on pages 1 through 3 on Google and other search engines. Besides being an expert in this field, he is personable and fun to work with. I could not recommend him more highly. It is the best investment you will ever make in your photography business!"
- Inge Kraus, Loveland Colorado.
The world of professional photography has changed so much in the last few years, and is still changing every day. In order to be successful we must adapt to the new business landscape, learn new marketing strategies, and keep up with the latest changes to Google, SEO, Facebook, and other social media channels. The true power of the Zenologue Insiders website is the ability to educate photographers about these changes quickly and easily, through articles, webinars, and teleseminars.
Within the site itself, the community forum and "insider chat" are great ways for photographers to help and support each other with all the power of a group mastermind - sharing ideas and growing stronger as photographers through the synergy that comes with cooperation.
So, if you're tired of the struggle and are serious about getting serious with your business, then I invite you to come and join in the "fight for peace" to help restore the pride in a profession that's suffered too much already…
Sincerely
P.S.
The worst part for me when I was struggling in business was the feeling of being "alone" - day after day I was unknowingly making the same big mistakes that others had already made, but I only had myself to brainstorm with, which was a HUGE handicap! Then, despite feeling as though I could barely afford it, I made the decision to invest in myself and learn everything I could get my hands on about running a successful business (not just in the photography industry, but from outside as well).
Many of the mistakes I made were the same as everyone else: Not having a proper business plan… Underestimating the costs of running a business… Giving away my work for the sake of "exposure"… Inadequate marketing and sales skills… and so on.
I created this website to provide other professional photographers with something that I wish I could have had when I started out! By joining the "fight for peace" you'll know all the things to avoid - potentially taking years off the learning curve to a successful photography business.

"Very well put, I'm trying my absolute best to convey this message to all people, not just potential clients or customers. Photographers do so much more than just push a button and deliver so much more than just a piece of paper." - David Pinsent
"I hope everyone reads ALL of that post, major props to you! It's our DUTY to make sure we properly serve the customer what they need, and not allow miscommunication over price to fail them." - Jeffrey Blake Adams
"I like this post, it's spot on. A professional photographer is one who treats his business in a professional manner, takes it seriously, conducts himself professionally, has a big vision for the business and charges enough for his time to ensure he will still be in business next month and next year." - Paul Webster
"I pulled some great quotes and great thoughts from this interview [with Michael E. Stern]. Thank you for the post. I especially liked when he talked about visiting the clients and picking up on clues that they give you. How they talk, how they dress. Great." - Sarah Tatom
"I have to say that this 'chat' has been one of the most valuable talks in helping me move forward in my architectural/industrial photography business. The most useful aspects, and there were many, was the process of stepping through the request for bid conversation and then through the quoting scenarios. Greg's real-world examples filled in a number of holes for me that I just haven't been able to get filled elsewhere. The entire chat was filled with nuggets that I have yet to absorb but will certainly incorporate into my journey. Thank you Greg and Nigel!" - Ilona Berzups
"I am fairly new in the photography business & Nigel has coached me on several occasions to help me with my business. Nigel has so many great ideas & he has helped me believe in myself & in my work & made me realize that I have to respect & value my work. I appreciate the time & effort Nigel has taken out of his schedule to help me get further in the photography business." - Denise Benson
"I follow you on twitter, this is why I am here. It is a really good article and you give good advice. I agree that there are many people who think it's a piece of cake, but it's not. Many people complain when it comes to sales or marketing. I often hear 'sales job is not for me, I don't like it'. Well, believe it or not, but we all sell everyday whether we are aware of this or not. As an example let's say about existing clients. By telling their friends about you, they not only recommend your services, but they actually sell it to others. When I recommend something to my friends, I know I sell it, even though I'm not paid for it. My satisfaction with service or software, hardware etc. made me to introduce to others. I would never recommend anything I didn't try or use myself. Even 'Useful links' on my website are not there by coincidence. Regarding study. I couldn't agree more. I sometimes take private lesson with real good photographer and I have to admit I learn things I didn't know, even though I thought I knew it. In this business we always learn." - Adam
"I've gotta say -- you worked wonders on me! Right after we got off the phone yesterday, I up and ran with a promo. I'm attracting new clients and generating interest, but the best thing yet is that I'm not hiding behind my email anymore! I actually had them CALL me so we could chat and figure out if we're the best fit for each other, and my first call went so smoothly like never before! I think I can do this! Thanks for being there for all photographers and offering advice and support!" - Kristen Fickes
