IN WHICH I TALK DOMINATRIXING.

So, I’m finishing up my last round of dominatrixing, that bit where I help peeps make and then meet goals.  My dominatrixee and I were talking about sales, and I told her I used to suck at ‘em.  She said she found that hard to believe.  Let’s be clear…

I’m not perfect.  Neither is my business.

Imperfect highlights:

I went from being a teacher to a photographer overnight. Literally.

I knew NOTHING about photography when I started working as a professional.  (Where professional = being paid to take people’s pictures.)

I used to work for one of those studios that sold images by the SHEET.  1 8×10, 2 5x7s, 3 4×6′s, 4 3.5×5′s, or 8 wallets?  All $25.

When I sold the $179 collection, I would DANCE WITH JOY.

I’ve Photoshopped client images in front of them, saying “Is this good?  Is this good?” until they approve.

I’ve never made an online sale of more than $800.  (There’s a REASON I sell stuff in person!)

I was totally jealous when my advice helped a dominatrixee to make a $3900 sale.  TOTALLY. JEALOUS.

I have a studio space but prefer working from home in my pajamas.  Sometimes I forget to change the garbage and then the studio’s ordering room smells funny.

I obsess about my branding materials, constantly revising them, instead of doing marketing work.

I shoot film and then get it developed at Walgreen’s because I CAN’T WAIT 10 DAYS TO SEE IT.  Yes, Walgreen’s.

I’m an introvert’s introvert and totally FREAK OUT when forced to go to a networking event.  (I wanted to stay in my hotel room for every minute of WPPI.)

I often feel guilty about teaching photographers anything, ever.  For any reason.  I frequently forget that teaching is my first love and I’ve been doing it since age 4.  (My teddy bears could READ, man.)


I’m not perfect, and I’m not claiming to be.  I just call it like I see it and it works.  Dominatrixees have revamped brands, instituted in-person ordering, booked up for the next 3 months in a week, etc, etc…from working with me.  (They do the work. I help ‘em know which work is the work that needs doing right this minute.)

Five dominatrixing spots go on sale tomorrow at 10 am EST.

If you’re ready to work hard, make goals, and then be coached through meeting them, you need a dominatrix.  There are 5 spots available.

Each spot costs $995.  They hit at 10am EST.  For more information, go here.  Or just buy right here if it’s after 10am on the 12th.

Some dominatrixing peeps said this stuff.  I don’t want to link to them because, um, I don’t have permission to…but they’re real live paying dominatrixed people.  Pinkie-swear.

You’ll learn about business and get your goals crystal clear during our time together.  You might just learn about yourself during the process.

“With your help, I figured myself out.  It’s a whole different world now.” – Alison

“Beyond just the tangible differences, I feel more confident to make my own decisions, feel like I know where I want my business to go, and how to get it there.”  – Gwen

“As a result of working with you, I know exactly what it is that makes my business unique and special.  Which is the best gift of all.  And I also have an entirely new brand, pricing structure, blog, and brochure, which are no small things either.  I now have confidence in myself as a business person and the value of my art.” – Miki

But is it worth $995, you ask?

“Totally worth every penny.  HUGE value!  I mean you get a day and a half at a workshop and it costs 50% more – plus travel expenses.  You’re the best thing going right now.” – Alisa

“If you had a dollar for each time I said/thought “this is why I’m paying you”, you’d have a lot more of my money!” – Becky

Luckily, you don’t need a perfect teacher to make change.  You just need an effective one.

Again, buy here after 10am on the 12th.  Learn more here.
