Urgent Message to Photographers

From: Cole, Founder of Cole's Classroom
Where: San Diego, CA
When: Thursday 1:22pm

If you are having a hard time getting consistent photography clients pay attention & read this letter as it's vital to your success moving forward.

Let me say something a bit controversial... 

1. The quality of your photos is probably not the MAIN reason you aren't earning income with your photography

2. You likely don't need more "courses"

I know that last statement goes against what most have been told or think the key to success is but I've seen plenty of "career students" get passed up by fast moving "up and comers" because of one thing and one thing only...

They weren't afraid to just GO and GET STARTED.

We live in the micro attention era where everyone is in a hurry to consume more mindless (but entertaining) content.

And guess what, that's already part of the reason why so many sadly FAIL at earning income with their photography...

It's because they didn't put in that little extra effort and as soon as they tried 1 of 2 tactics to get started with photography, they quickly got discouraged and gave up (or are thinking about giving up).

AND... the biggest contributing factor to their success was they worked with a coach so they always had someone to go to when they got "stuck" and needed help.

So if you currently do not have a vibrant, in-demand, profitable business...

First, realize you aren't alone and in fact, you are among the majority of photographers out there - not that, that's a statistic you want to be included in.

Secondly, if you've been focused on "learning" before "doing" - it's time to STOP that and you need to get started.

Third, there's never a "magic pill" course that will be the "cure-all" to you building a photography business. 

Fourth, you don't have to do this alone, and you shouldn't.... the real KEY to success is.

- Executing (doing the work)
- Curated Learning (having ONE place to go for photography education)
- Coaching, Community & Accountability 

You need to do ALL 3 of these... because you can have access to the best training in the world but if you don't ever act on it and execute the work, it's for absolutely nothing.

You can have the training and do the work but as soon as you run into a challenge, if you have nowhere to turn to for help.... you give up or keep doing the same things - even though its not working.

That's exactly why it's vital to have access to coaches who have "been there, done that"...

When you have access to coaches, you're able to get quick guidance that'll get you unstuck.

When you have access to a community with others who have the same challenges and goals, you'll get the support you need to keep on going rather than give up.

The problem is...

If you went to a local photographer in your market and asked them for coaching...
1. They usually don't want to help the competition and
2. Charge about $300 to $500 an hour

That's EXACTLY why I created Cole's Classroom Pro

Where you have access to:
1. Coaching
2. Community
3. Courses 
IF YOU WANT:
  • To take photos good enough to earn the respect & appreciation from your family, friends and other photographers.
  • ​To be able to earn "even just" an extra $500 a month doing something you enjoy, like photography
  • ​To be able to spend more time with your family vs. clocking in/out at a "boring day job"
The good news is

Regardless of if you are only looking to improve your photography skills OR if you want to start earning income with your camera - we can help (this is exactly what we do!)

The BAD news is

You aren't going to get results if you keep doing the same thing you've been doing so far - and it's going to take a "little" work.

Which brings me to my next question - are you already working with a photography coach?

The "Traditional" Way of Learning Photography Sucks.
Information Overload
There is no shortage of information available today on the web, the problem is knowing which articles to read & which to ignore.  Sadly, it's far too easy to read 4 different tutorials on a subject & get 4 different answers.

A simple google search of "how to edit photos in Lightroom" will bring you 2,270,000 results - can we say: "information overload"?

Join today & get instant access to our course library featuring highly curated & professionally produced video courses from leading professional photographers across a variety of topics. 
You're On Your Own
Being alone stinks.  It's common belief that we simply work harder & progress quicker when we aren't alone. 
 
Learning in groups is far more powerful, motivating & enjoyable than being stuck learning all on your own.

In Cole's Classroom Pro you'll have your own photography social network! Let your personality shine through with your profile & cover photo & join on-topic forums to chat with others taking the same courses as you!
Hard to Get Answers
It's only natural - you will have questions.  The problem though is the old way of learning online often leaves you having to spend precious time researching your own questions rather than having a place to turn to get answers.

Cole's Classroom Pro members get access to our very own top secret Facebook group, so you can get answers to your very own questions quickly!  
Not Centralized
We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but sadly, most of us have wildly busy day to day schedules and lack much "free time".

While there is plenty of free content online, it's extremely difficult to actually master any particular topic as you have to seek out multiple lessons from different sources to get a more thorough understanding.

That not only takes away precious time but also isn't cohesive and complete.


I made over $60,000 in income...
all alongside of our 9 to 5 day jobs.
We did 25 weddings that year & things were only looking up.

My wife & I were paid to travel to some of the most picturesque places in world to take photos in Cabo San Lucas, Lake Tahoe & Zion National Park to photograph weddings.

Heck, as we did more and more work, our demand was rising as well and on two separate occasions we had couples chose to move their wedding date (since we were already booked) to a date we had available…

Life was good, not only were we able to save a significant amount of money to put towards purchasing a house from our thriving photography business, our dream of ditching our 9 to 5 and turning our passion into a full time job was becoming more and more
real by the day.
Looking back I realized one thing...
What's funny is: everything I learned over those years I could have learned in a
few short months...

...if I just knew what to focus on and if I just had someone to bounce my work off of. 

What did I learn? 

Mistake #1: Simply spending more time in the field doesn’t necessarily lead to better results & often leads to working “harder” not “smarter” 

Mistake #2: I wasted 3 years of time trying to learn all on my own.
The best & quickest way to learn is to learn from someone better than you & quickly show you what you’re doing wrong or what you need to improve on.

Mistake #3: Had I invested into my own photography education earlier on I would have been able to be leaps ahead of my competition and booked many more
photo gigs earlier than later. 

And that's why I put together Cole's Clique
Why I Am Doing This.
This project has been 12 months in the making, my motivation may surprise you.

Seven years ago when I decided to learn photography I had no one to turn to for help. I bought books & scoured online photo forums doing my best to dodge the prominent negativity & anger towards any "dumb" question. Self taught I learned through trial & error.  I didn't have a home-base to turn to for detailed advice or strategy when starting my photo business.  

I learned the hard way.  
The long way.
Not the smart way.

As the popularity of Cole's Classroom has grown exponentially, many would call it "success" and want to sit back & enjoy.  However, as Cole's Classroom has grown, I've lost the ability to give the same level of personalized help & answers to my readers that I once was able to do.  I enjoy the personal guidance & know you do too.

I want to give even more.

Cole's Clique has been created to be your home-base for answers, guidance, support & learning photography in a way that simply doesn't exist anywhere else on the web.  Trust me - I've looked.

This will be my new home where I can teach photography in a more personal, interactive & engaging way.  A way that I believe will get you to your destination the quickest with the least amount of road-blocks and frustration - and that's what I am here for.

How Much Does a Good Photography Education Cost?
The short answer...it costs a lot.

Traditional photography programs vary widely but most cost between $10,000 to $30,000 a year!

...ain't nobody got time for that!

Lucky for you, you can join Cole's Clique & learn from some of the most sought after professional photographers currently working in the field, while getting support & motivation from other like minded photographers, for the smallest of a fraction of the cost above.  

...and we'll have more fun too!
