Abby and Lisa are sharing how you can use Instagram Stories in your wedding business! We've broken this episode down into 5 actionable tips you can implement now. Connect with Abby and Lisa: @abbyjiuphotography @lisaziesing Here's a Bit about Abby Jiu Photography: Established in 2009, Abby Jiu Photography began with just Abby behind the lens. Five years later, Lisa joined her, expanding the team and the scope of weddings and events they cover. Over the years, Abby and Lisa have jointly documented dozens of weddings and traveled together for destination jobs as near as New York City and as far as Ireland and Portugal. They also spend plenty of time together in their stylish Northern Virginia office. And even though they shoot individually too, the bond they’ve formed is undeniable. This foundation makes them solid partners in business but also great friends. Perhaps it’s in the astrological cards—Abby’s a Scorpio and Lisa’s a Cancer—or maybe it’s just that they can anticipate each other’s needs seamlessly, work off each other’s energy, and share a passion for film photography and documenting special moments. Not to mention, they are both always up for ordering dessert. Work with them and you might think they share a brain because somehow they communicate without even speaking. With their shared years of expertise and organized methods, this duo makes working with Abby Jiu Photography a sincerely enjoyable experience—from both their perspective and that of their clients’ It’s in Abby’s nature to be a nurturer, and Lisa always thought she’d be a teacher like her mom and sister. And so recently, the duo launched a mentoring program, newsletter, and frequently share helpful tips and information on their Instagram stories. You can also follow along on their adventures—whether they’re on the road, at an industry event, or taking viewers behind the scenes at a wedding—as they share daily on their Instagram stories.

Thanks to Sudio Sweden for sponsoring this episode! Use code: SHECREATESBUSINESS for 15% off your order!  I'm so pleased to welcome Kristin Barber to She Creates Business a Podcast for Wedding Pros.  Not only is Kristin the very first wedding officiant on the show (hooray!) she's also the first guest I've had who is truly running her side hustle......as a side hustle! That's right! Kristin isn't burning the midnight oil trying to go full-time as a wedding officiant, in fact, she loves her full-time job at Acuity Scheduling!  Kristin just loves people, weddings and accidentally becoming an officiant so she does it for fun......and sometimes for free!  My chat with Kristin was so refreshing because it wasn't about how she's killing herself trying to reach full-time officiant status. It was truly just a discussion on how much she LOVES her side-hustle, how she got started as a wedding officiant, the journey she takes her couples through and why she continues to do it (even though she doesn't have to).  I know you want to know more about this amazing lady so allow me to share a bit about Kristin here: Kristin Barber is a carb-loving, city-dwelling, social butterfly who knows far too much about the Real Housewives. She lives in Minneapolis and when she's not checking out the new restaurants in town, she's planning her next passport stamp. If there's one thing she loves more than traveling--it would be marrying close friends and perfect strangers. If you want a peek behind the curtains of how to become a wedding officiant or just need some inspo to fall in love with your side-hustle again, today's episode is for you!

SUDIO SWEDEN UNBOXING VIDEO Use Code: shecreatesbusiness for 15% off your order! www.sudiosweden.com Well hey there and happy Tuesday. Welcome to She Creates Business, a podcast for wedding pros. This is your host Kinsey Roberts. Well hey there and happy Tuesday. Welcome to She Creates Business, a podcast for wedding pros. This is your host Kinsey Roberts.  You may have noticed from the title that I am bringing back Tip Tuesdays, I am. So if you are a new listener to the show, you may not know that over the summer every single Tuesday I brought an episode that's about 15 or 20 minutes long, sometimes less, that is just a quick tip or idea or thought about something I'm trying in my own wedding business.  And I got really great feedback about that series, and I enjoyed it myself.  It was a really great time, and a really great way for me to just kind of talk out what was going on in my own business and being really transparent about things I was testing out or things that weren't working or things that are working. And I'm bringing it back. I'm going to just keep doing it every single Tuesday.  It's no longer a series, it's going to be part of this regular show because I love it and I really appreciate you guys giving me that great feedback about loving those short, snackable size episodes where there's just one thing that you can take away and say, "Hey, I can do something with that." So we're going to kick it off again and today marks the first episode of Tip Tuesday for our kind of fall time period into the ... I'm going to do it through the end of the year and see how it goes. But before we get started with today's tip, I want to tell you that today's podcast is sponsored by Sudio Sweden.  And that's not studio with a T, but it's Sudio, which is spelled S-U-D-I-O. Sudio contacted me and said, "Hey, we've listened to your show. We would love for you to grab a couple pairs of headphones from us.  See if you like them, and we'd love to sponsor your show and offer your listeners a discount if you're interested in that, and you like the product." And I absolutely was interested because I am a podcaster so having new headphones, trying new headphones, was completely in line with who I am. You guys know that I have a podcast course, and we're all interested ... I know I'm kind of preaching to the choir here when I say, "I always want pretty headphones," right? I'm constantly listening to other podcasts, I'm constantly listening to other audiobooks, webinars, what have you, recording shows.  And so a sponsorship from a headphone company was like, yes please. So Sudio, thank you so much for sponsoring today's show. I want you guys to know that you can get 15% off any purchase over at Sudio using the code shecreatesbusiness. You can also just tap your podcast player and use that link in there to make your purchase.  And one of the great things about Sudio this month in October is, as I record this, is they are donating 10% of their purchases to breast cancer awareness month. So really appreciate that. Also, I recorded an unboxing video of the two pairs of headphones that I tried. And you can find that over on shecreatesbusinesspodcast.com. Go have a Go have a look-see over there, the link is also in the show notes, so you can see the models that I tried. I tried the Vasa earbuds and then I also tried the Regents, which are over-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones. So take a peek at that and again, Go have a look-see over there, the link is also in the show notes, so you can see the models that I tried. I tried the Vasa earbuds and then I also tried the Regents, which are over-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones. So take a peek at that and again, Sudio, thank you so much. Okay today's quick Tip Tuesday is how to network with strangers. And the impetus for this podcast episode is I just got a networking request, kind of, from somebody that I do not know. I've never had any interaction with them, and their request was kind of strange, I thought. It's not that I don't like to connect with people I don't know, that's really what the entire internet and this podcast has done for me.  But I think there's ways to go about it that are easy ways to get a yes from the person that you're asking. I have certainly made these mistakes so don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not telling you that I am perfect and network well all the time. That's not true. But as I've grown the show and as I've gotten to know other people and as I've kind of gained a following ... I don't want to say that in a weird way, but I just mean as the show has gotten bigger, as it has appeared kind of in the top 200 of the management and marketing category, I've gotten contacted by people like we all do. I know I'm sure you do too.  We all get emails from people who want one thing or another or they want to meet us or they want to talk to us. And I love that and I think that's great. I do it every single week. I pitch my own guests. I get pitches as well but honestly I love to find my own guests. And so that's another reason why I think these are really important because my guests are strangers typically before I have them on the show. I mean, a lot of times I'm meeting them before but especially when I first started the show, everybody except for the people I met at Creative At Heart Conference was a stranger. And so I had to approach them in a really unique way so that I wasn't just some random person off the street like, "Hey, can you give me 30 minutes of your life for no reason? Thanks." You know what I mean?

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: "Stop asking yourself if you are worth it, because sister, you are worth it! You're worth that and a lot more. Your worth is not tied up in what you offer your course at." with Kinsey Roberts LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? In this episode, I sat down with Kinsey Roberts, the host and creator of the She Creates Business podcast, to talk all about money. Benjamins. Cheddar. Dough. Moola. Stacks. You know, that paper stuff that allows us to buy things and pay rent or the mortgage. But it's about a lot more than that and it can be such a hard (sensitive) topic. Kinsey and I talk about everything from value and worth to personal debt to money as a parent. The conversation starts out more about personal finance, and then, we get into more business + money topics ... like the struggle with placing a dollar amount on your time. And how we base our worth as a human being in our salary. And I share about my own struggles with this. And Kinsey shares this new perspective - a way to reframe this - that is absolutely brilliant. And I personally think that every business owner needs to listen to this. So, go listen. SUBSCRIBE + LISTEN iTunes Stitcher WHO IS KINSEY ROBERTS?
