Hi Friend,

Sharon, here.

First off, I want to personally thank you taking the first action step to understand how to look great in photos.

I hope you enjoyed your copy of How to Look Great in Photos- The 10 Key Ways to Always Take Your Best Photo.

It will get your juices going to authentically show up for success- whether that be in your business, your brand, or even a family photo or the shot you use on a dating site or in social media.

But sometimes we need more to truly master something so that it can become effortless. Especially, when it's something that intricate to our success.

Can ONE Thing Really Cement A First Impression and Can You Absolutely Learn What It Takes To Position Yourself For Success, Your Way?

Yes!

In fact, your first impression has never been more important than in today’s online climate.

• Studies have shown that it takes people just 1/10 of a second to begin drawing conclusions about you after looking at your photo.
• Plus, potential clients need just 3 seconds to decide whether or not they like you and are willing to do business with you in the future.
• To position yourself for success, you first need to understand that our brains our visual instruments (making over 35,000 decisions daily).
• This is why your photos and the first impressions that you create can have such a lasting and deep impact on the future of your business.

I’ve written about how your photos “tells” potential prospects so much before you get to say a word.

And, of course, how you can make that same photo say just the right things.

You may have seen my advice recently in various media outlets.

Places like Entrepreneur.com, WorkAtHomeSuccess, beauty journals, blogs, dating resources, speaking from the stage, as well as have been interviewed on podcasts and summits.

Plus, of course, you’ve seen my pieces on FocusOnStyle.com.

I’ve become an expert on this subject.

So why is a photo such a big deal?

For me and for you.

I had to make the conscious decision like you are today--  about am I going to find and hire the right branding photographer?
(boy, was that expensive + time-consuming)

Or,  just walk in somewhere and get my picture taken.
(not exactly like the dreaded passport photo but not much better + I’d only get one “stiff” photo)

No matter what, I just couldn’t bring myself to do that.

And kept putting off getting new photos taken.

Can you relate?

Finally, I needed new photos for the cover of my book. It had to get done.

I don’t think I would ever stop putting off taking new photos if I didn’t have that deadline.

And, Heavens to Murgatroyd (my father used to say that), if it wasn’t for THAT serendipitous deadline, there would never be THIS.

Even as s the founder of FocusOnStyle.com since 1999, I was gun shy as a bootstrapping entrepreneur to be the face of my brand (and in front of the camera).

Here’s where I’m a little different than you even though I’ve been where you have been being timid about showing up.

I have behind the scenes professional expertise as a New York fashion photography stylist for 15 years.

I styled everything from Vogue covers with MAJOR jewels to making polyester sweats look so wearable that you would actually want to buy them. (I understand the power of positioning).

And that professional photo experience made me even more self-conscious as a business owner.
(I was now “the product” positioned in every image).

Until...

I figured out how easy it would be to confidently DIY my own photos on my own terms and on my own budget.

This is how creating exactly what you need to be the best at being you in the ‘Simply Amazing Headshots’ movement was born, where anyone can tell their story from the collar up!

As an entrepreneur, your headshot is your equivalent of a magazine cover (and I've styled a fair amount of those)…

Those headshots are what lures people to want to know more about what you stand for.

Yet, you don’t want to be “too perfect” or fake in your positioning and marketing- people relate to the real you.

The SECRET SAUCE is to be both aspirational and authentic.

Through your photos, you are positioned for what you want to be well-known for-- those photos are your first impression visual brand ambassador-- spreading your message and extending your reach.

Every time your photo appears on social media, it is in the same stream a celebrities, thought leaders, industry experts and everyone else who has their shizzle together.

YOUR PHOTO IS YOUR
BRAND AMBASSADOR TELLING YOUR STORY
BEFORE YOU GET TO SAY A WORD.

So you can’t leave yourself behind with a cruddy photo.
(FYI: “they” don’t always come to the set looking like celebrities, it’s the magic that makes them look so).

Make this your moment, YOU can do it.

But what happens when, if you are like me, and don’t want to invest in a big photoshoot with a great photographer who really gets the true you?

(Not some generic, run of the mill, and totally boring “headshot” you get in the “photo studio” of a big box store because that doesn’t show your personality and your personality is what makes you relatable).

In this day and age, you don’t need any fancy equipment or photo set to get professional-looking results when you know the insider secrets– your phone, computer, or whatever camera you have on hand will do the trick… and on the go to boot!

You just need to not look ordinary (not cray-cray either), out of touch, or off brand.

Or your work, your credentials, and your value will also be perceived as NOT being relevant or special and you’ll just get looked over as being out of touch or not so special  (ouch!).

Oh, don’t forget that research shows that your appearance strongly influences other people's perception of your financial success, authority, trustworthiness, intelligence, and suitability for hire or promotion.

Soooo, that will have a pretty good chance of affecting your earning potential and any high-level opportunities that can come your way.

Before you ask, “Well Sharon, I have your PDF book and the articles so why do I need a video program?”

Let me me tell you.

We all read-- and we should be avid readers to stay fresh and informed.

But...

True mastery comes from going deep…

… learning everything from an expert who knows the subject (better than you)….

…. so you can walk away and get amazing results without overwhelm.

So if you’re SERIOUS about your visual message, I can help you.

I’ve created a program where I walk you through EXACTLY what you need to take your own AUTHENTIC photo.
(or have someone hold the camera or phone for you, if you prefer)

So not only will you look AMAZING but you ‘say’ what you want to CONVEY without even uttering a word.

You can use these photos for your social media profiles and content, web site, resume, dating sites, business cards, press releases, video and live stream set-ups and thumbnails, and even your book cover, like me.

I say photos because you can’t have JUST ONE picture circulating all over the place.

Every type of social media alone (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, SnapChat and is anyone still on MySpace?) has a different vibe and a different intention--  you need to be perceived as being relevant to that marketplace.

• Research shows that you are 40% more likely to land an interview with a good Facebook profile photo so you really don’t want to screw this this up.
• Because research also shows that first impressions that first impressions can last for years (and remain unchangeable).

This can get overwhelming, right? Wrong.

Imagine if you had to hire a good photographer every time you needed a new photo ….

Geez, you would spend more time fussing and spending money than actually doing what you need to be doing.

That’s why I want taking your photos to not only be EASY but ACCESSIBLE so you can get ahead and spend your time doing what you love to do (not posing).

So you don’t have to be a model-type or a celebrity but you do need to look like someone who authentically has their shizzle going on.

And when you’re not confident in front of a camera it shows… so that distracts from your true self… which can hurt your bank account and your social life (just sayin’).

People follow people who are aspirational so you don’t want to come off as some phoney (that can get sniffed out too).

Don’t worry, I’ve got your back  so you can be perceived as the best at being you!

Here’s how the How Simply Amazing Headshots program is designed…

1. It’s broken down into 6 Modules with a “Big Picture” Concept.
2. Each Module is broken down into short and to-the-point Video Sessions where I break down exactly what you need to learn.
3. When things get super visual, I’ll take you over my shoulder and share my screen with tons of examples.
4. You’ll get EXACTLY what you need to learn how to take your photos and position yourself for success.
5. All this will be wrapped up in a Private Membership Site with a personal login so not just anyone can get this program.

BUT HERE’S THE THING…

“Simply Amazing Headshots” is in the Charter stage and not released to the public yet.

That’s why you are getting an INCREDIBLE EARLY BIRD PRICE.

And EXTRA BONUSES.

Just as soon as the whole program is ready for release in its private membership site, you will get immediate access.

But until then,

The “How to Be Seen” Bonus Program (valued at $497)

This Self-Study Sizzle Master Workshop will help you authentically elevate your presence so you can engineer your best visual message to look your best on stage, video + webcam.

There is so MUCH Value in this Master Workshop- you will have a HEAD START in prepping everything you need to be on brand and radiate your message when you speak on stage, at a conference, networking event, or want to convey the right message when you walk into a room and want to be noticed.

PLUS, you will learn the importance of what to wear on video- for a sizzle reel, business videos, or a livestream.

AND, a VIP One on One Check Up call to hone in on what you need to do to confidently reflect your best self while reviewing your brand so you can be on top of your A-game.

Here’s what you will walk away with from the How to Be Seen Early Bird BONUS:

• Get Impact: You will be able to analyze your industry to gain clarity on the best way to present yourself on stage to level up your wow factor.
• Plan On it: You will get fun and informative takeaway strategies so you will always be able to easily see the direction you need to go when you want to project a successful image on stage and off.
• Get Going: You will walk away with all you need to know to begin to amp your presence so you can get further in your career even if you are fashion-phobic, not quite sure how to present yourself or simply want a spot check to step up.
• The Goal: To free yourself from worrying or ignoring your appearance so you can show up as the best total package you can be for the most impactful first impression.

Sounds pretty dang amazing, right?

You would expect to pay $3,000, $5,000, or even $10,000 for a package like this, right?
(I know that because there are ‘done for you’ packages that cost that and more… AND, don’t always produce the most authentic results).

But as a SUPER EARLY BIRD, I have cut the investment to a FRACTION of the price if you act NOW.

Because it really breaks my heart to see people lose on living the life they dream about because they had a cruddy photo(s) that locked the door on their possibilities.

So if you are serious about MAKING YOUR MARK and learning the skills from a straight-shooter who not only has the professional expertise-- but also the personal experience-- to help you, well, I’m your gal!
