Hi, my name is Chip Dizárd! I’m a CloudSpot Ambassador, photographer, speaker, and photography educator. I consider myself to be an amateur comedian, love to play golf, and specialize in weddings, portraits, branding, families, and event photography. I call the Washington, DC area home and, as a former photography and videography teacher, I enjoy empowering photographers by sharing what I know as a photography educator.

Today, I’m giving you a preview of my post-wedding workflow to help empower you to find unique solutions to increase the efficiency in your wedding processing, helping you save time AND book more clients. Hopefully, it’s helpful! But if it’s not, tell me it is anyway.

In this episode of The Beginner Photography Podcast, Raymond walks through his recommended steps for picking a social media marketing platform, setting up your CloudSpot + Plann social media integration, what you should be posting as a photographer, and how to set yourself up for automated social media posting.

One of the most powerful, yet underutilized, gallery features we see amongst CloudSpot users is watermarking! Watermarking images adds a level of protection and professionalism to your brand, ensuring that images are downloaded at their highest resolution while protecting your work when posted online and printed independently. With CloudSpot, you can share watermarked images with your clients in just a few clicks. No need to juggle multiple sets of files… simply upload your watermark(s), dial in your settings, and send off your galleries!

Introducing the ground-breaking integration between CloudSpot & Plann: Social media scheduling for professional photographers!

Whether you're a professional photographer or just starting out, social media is one of the best places to get your beautiful images out into the world. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook connect you to a global network of more than one billion people for free.

Thanks to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest, you can get your work directly in front of millions of people ready to buy your prints or book your services. The best part is, many social media apps are highly visual, making them perfect for photographers.

When growing your photography business, you need to streamline your workflow to work smarter, not harder. Marketing your work on social media can feel like a full time job! Posting to Instagram and Facebook can be such a hassle… and causes most photographers to not even do it!
