You'd Like to Kick 2020 In The Rear.

From motivation slumps, to world stress, and masking off your entire to life to quarantine, 2020 has been tough on all of us.

It's Crickets When
It Comes To Inquiries.

Where did everyone go? The phone won't ring, and you seriously wonder if the contact form on your website might be broken. HOW are you going to get clients to inquire?

Clients Who Do
Book, Don't Buy.

Digital files are their religion and they want nothing to do with your gorgeous product samples.  You'll scream if you hear,  "Can we just get the files?" one more time.

Your Inner Critic Is Having A Party In Your Head-No Masks.

You're questioning if 2020 got the best of you. After all there is a world-wide pandemic going on. And you wonder if it's truly time to throw in the towel.

Student Success

Terri Bryant - Terri Bryant Photography

"I can't begin to explain how many ways that Julia's marketing education has changed my business, but here are a few!

  •  My inquiries went from 2-3 a month to 20-30 a month!
  • I went from booking around 25% of those inquiries to booking 75%.
  • My average sale has increased by 50%.
  • I have two partnerships in place and am working on a third.
  • I found my unique value in a saturated market, and am working through my partnerships and networking to really get my message out there.
  • I have also set up local resource which should help drive my growth as well.

Overall, I can't imagine how Julia's marketing course hasn't changed my business. It not only totally changed my mindset on how I approach all aspects of my business, but gave me actionable steps on how to set myself up for success. The plans I put in place from what I learned from the course are now delivering tangible results that I could have never achieved on my own. Thank you Julia for showing me how to market - and LOVE it!"

Studios We've Helped Build

Julia has helped photographers worldwide grow into 6-figure businesses.
These studios have collectively earned over $3 million in revenue in just 2 years.

"I can't even begin to say how much this course has changed the way I do business. So many photographers focus solely on being the best artist they can, and neglect the nitty gritty day to day elements of their business. Julia's course is brilliant and teaches you everything you need to know to set your brand apart from your competitors. She teaches you how to connect with those in your community, how to have a solid marketing strategy and the steps to do it successfully. She teaches you how to market to your ideal client and build the business you've always wanted. Julia holds nothing back and shares everything she does in her own business to be successful. This course has completely changed the way I run my business. It will make you take a serious look at your brand and business practices, and teach you everything you need to know to rise above your competition and bring in the clients you really want to work with. I can't say enough about her marketing course and recommend it to anyone who is serious about making their business the very best it can be. You won't regret it, I promise! #LYMI"

"I love the way Julia teaches because she's REAL. She's RAW. She gives it to you straight. She's relatable. She's me in a sense personality wise (wine or coffee anyone?), but she's also who I aspire to be like as a business owner and entrepreneur. She's professional yet down to earth and real. She explains things in depth but it's very understandable. She pushes you to be better. She's like a cheerleader for you to get your business off the ground and to BE better!"

Megan J. Happ

" I could have lost my business last year had I stayed where I was and let it die on it’s own, however I took some risks and I am currently rebuilding and with lessons learned I believe coming out better. 
She is not afraid to tell it like it is and to let us know it’s ok to stumble and fail as long as we get back up. That’s what I love about her teaching style; she doesn’t lecture she talks to you like a friend over coffee telling you what you really need to hear. I really can’t express how much Julia and her lessons are changing not only my business but how I look at myself as well. I keep realizing how much I want to succeed in this industry and how much I love shooting. The classes just make it so that I have more tools to make sure I actually do succeed. "

I have questions...

You get complete access to the entirely revamped and refreshed flasgship courses - "Market Like You Mean It"  and now "Sell Like You mean It." which have been rebuilt  (SLYMI is being released in phases. It is 75% complete.) inside the membership. Plus, you get access to our exclusive online, privately hosted community, along with all worksheets and downloads. It also includes access to all of our special series, live events, surprise mini classes, and monthly delivered content.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 MLYMI owners got founding member access when we first opened 5CC in November 2019. MLYMI owners who did not take advantage of the offer, can join at the new rate. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We will be posting content multiple times per month. We send out email notices, plus our mobile app has notifications as well. That way you can be on top of what's coming out and when. Since it's just me (for the most part, with some help from Beth), there may be occasional adjustments to the schedule to account for holidays and I might want a vacation once in a while too. 🤪

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The videos are provided in HD quality, and I am mic'd for best possible sound quality. 

 However, the video quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed to prevent "buffering" to give you the best streaming experience.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

No they are not. This is a subscription, much like Netflix. You are not purchasing the videos for download. 

However, swipe files, assignments, worksheets, checklists, etc are downloadable.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I encourage you to share your feelings about the 5 Carat Cololective with others!

Especially if you enjoy it 😁

However, please do NOT share the videos, downloads or access to the community with non-members as they have not paid for the content. 

I use the income from the 5 Carat Collective to support my family and feed my little guy. He likes food. A lot. We all do. We could live on it, actually. 😜

So please don't share....

Anyone caught sharing with non-members will be permanently banned.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

As long as you continue to pay the monthly subscription fee, you will have access to ALL the videos. They will not be deleted or taken down so you can watch any of the archived videos at any time. That's dozens of short topical videos (plus critiques, bonuses, cheat sheets, quick tips, interviews, demos, etc, etc, etc) every single year!

I cannot wait to personally guide you inside the 5 Carat Collective...

 

I've poured my heart into building the content for this membership site from the ground up - putting 14 years of business experience, growth, mistakes and wins  into it.

I've experienced first hand, what it's like to build a photography studio from the beginning, and market to a new city where I didn't know anyone. 

It's been rewarding, challenging, scary and empowering, and I want it to be all those things for you too. There's nothing like the freedom of being an entrepreneur, charting our own path and creating your own creative destiny on YOUR terms.

I'm thrilled to share my 15 years  of experience, knowledge and mistakes with you. We don't hold back inside the 5 Carat Collective. It is no holds barred education.

And if you are a photographer looking to level up your business, you owe it to yourself to join us and fast-track yourself to a thriving, profitable business.

I cannot WAIT to welcome you!

-Julia
