On this episode, we sat down with Shannon Vondy (aka Mrs. Vondy, aka The Email Queen) to talk about a topic many photographers struggle with - email marketing. As someone who's been a member of Shannon's email club for over a year and a half, Melissa was excited to bring her expertise to our listeners who are relocating or restructuring their photography businesses.

Shannon went from burnt out wedding photographer to email obsessed when she sent ONE email and earned $2,600. After earning an additional $13k that year from email marketing alone, she created The Email Club. Through her Email Club Membership, she's helped hundreds of business owners make thousands of dollars using email all in the time it takes to bake a batch of cookies! She's on a mission to make email the easiest and most fun part of your business.

1. Starting an email list is simpler than you think - You don't need freebies or complex welcome sequences to begin. Choose an email provider, create a simple opt-in page, and start emailing consistently. Shannon made $2,600 from her very first strategic email!

2. Email weekly for best results - Consistency is key. You can batch-write four emails at the beginning of the month (they don't need to be long) and schedule them. Unsubscribes are normal and shouldn't discourage you - focus on serving those who want to hear from you.

3. Location changes don't mean abandoning your list - When relocating, segment your lists by location and continue providing value to past clients. Share a mix of location-specific content and universal photography tips to stay top-of-mind, even with clients you may never photograph again.
