Is Organic Reach Dead On Facebook? Is This A Legit Question?

Is organic reach dead on Facebook? Do you have to spend advertising dollars to reach anyone on Facebook now? I hear people say this more and more…. As I’ve written here before I participate weekly in a live Twitter chat and broadcast on Periscope called #LetsLivestream. It’s always a good discussion with many great guests and nice production value hosted by Jonathan Tripp, and once in a while a topic or a take in the conversation gets me thinking about […]

How Important Should Analytics Be To Your LiveStreaming Strategy?

An exchange I had on twitter yesterday got me thinking… Of course I often go to football for analogies because I have a background there, so as a former player and a football “purist” I may enjoy comparing statistics for fun, but I would never play “fantasy football”. I never have and never will. I actually like statistics – I do. I’ll even use them from time to time in debates about teams and players and who was better. […]

When Clientele and Partnership Collide – Introducing Sheago!

This has been a year of many changes for us here at Frameable Faces and this story is a big part of it. Personal change with our daughter Lacey going off to college in a week (!!!) and our switch to a mostly plant based lifestyle, along with professional change with a bit of diversification for the studio with Ally teaching photography classes, adding more focus to photo restoration to complement our portrait work and me taking on a couple […]

Why Local Brands Should Be Killing It On Facebook Live – Periscope not so much…

Recently I wrote an article here on the blog comparing and contrasting live streaming platforms to help people make some informed choices on which platform to consider between Facebook Live and Periscope for different types of strategies. It’s a solid piece if I do say so myself and I enlisted 4 people in the social media / entrepreneurial game I respect to include their take. That article is still on point and relevant, but this is basically a part 2 digging into […]

Why We Started An Email Newsletter, How It’s Going, and A Few Tips!

I held out against the idea of doing an email newsletter for a looooonnnnnnnnggg time. I wanted no part of it. I thought “who wants to get another email in their folder” and I was feeling pretty good about our social media and online marketing as it was. So let’s go through my thought process – how and why my opinion changed and what led me to start an email newsletter. A Little Side of SPAM with your email perhaps…? […]

Comparing Facebook Live to Periscope – Which Is Better For You?

As you know social media is my thing. I spend the majority of my time creating content to put out online for our studio and other businesses from time to time. I train people on how to use social media and very often the photography business leads to discussions about branding with our clients who come here for professional headshots to market themselves. So it makes sense for me to write articles on the things I learn about smallbiz marketing […]

Our Appearance On #LetsLivestream! A Recap And Follow Up Comments

We have been live streaming on Periscope (and now Facebook Live too) for almost two years and the best thing about it has been meeting all the great people we’ve met from around the world. We continue to broadcast live 5-6 days per week and we continue to meet new people like Rachel Moore whom we met just within the last few months. Rachel has a social media marketing company called Really Social in Colorado and she hosts a Twitter […]

Quinn And Our Quest For Quality Locations On Her Senior Session!

Quinn is a Qaracter (see what I did there?). Haha – a character in the best way! She’s smart, funny, unique and beautiful and she was totally into this session! She made it a lot of fun to photograph her and her mom Linda is kind of awesome too. We laughed a lot on this session and most notably for us we found several new spots to photograph in Birmingham that were right under our noses but we never noticed […]
