Social media doesn’t have to be painful, and Plann is here to help make it fun and something you don’t dread on the regular. Easily see your grid before you post, use their prompts to help you come up with captions, and save your hashtags for easy access. You can automatically post, have it prompt you, or do everything manually—-your choice. Analytics at the tip of your fingers and it tells you the best time to share your prettiest pictures with your audience. Need we say more?

Flodesk

A newsletter is likely last on many photographer’s list of things to do, yet it is what builds rapport with clients and potential clients, warms up your audience, and leads to easy “yeses”. There’s nothing worse than an ugly newsletter (um, we will just delete!) so beautiful templates and eye catching design was a must for us. Flodesk is IT, and will revolutionize the way you build your email list and chat with them.

a little note: we are big on business ethics here at TPPS, so we want to let you know that some, not all, of the above links are affiliate links. This means by sharing how much we love and use these companies (by the way, we’d never share something we didn’t use and love) we may get a very small percentage back. This costs you nothing, and is just each company’s way of saying thank you to us.
