How to Keep Marketing When You're Too Busy Doing the Work

Right now I've got 16 sessions booked for May, ordering appointments to run, editing to get through, and prints to deliver.And I'm still marketing.I know that probably sounds like a lot. This episode is about what that actually looks like, and why having a system already in place means marketing doesn't have to stop just because life gets full.I also share the moment that changed how I think about this entirely. A trip to Iceland, two months of no marketing at all, and coming home to a completely empty January and February. No bookings. No enquiries. Checking my emails constantly and genuinely thinking about applying for other jobs.That experience is a big part of why I built the repeatable marketing system I use today, and why I created the workshop.Enrol in The Pet Photography Marketing Systems WorkshopThe Pet The Pet Photography Marketing Systems Workshop starts 14 May 2026 7:30 AM AEST (13 May 2026 5:30PM ET).
