By year three, I had 28,000 followers—and my bookings hadn’t changed. That’s when I realized I was playing the wrong game. Social media isn’t a portfolio platform. It’s a sales funnel. The photographers making real money aren’t the ones obsessing over likes. They’re the ones converting followers into paying clients.
