Greetings and Salutations!!! (said in my airline stewardess voice)  and welcome to the May edition of the JWP Blast!

 April showers bring May flowers..... and I am so here for it! All the flowers blooming and putting pops of color into the world! 

🌸 Fun Facts for May: 

May Day Celebrations: May 1st is celebrated as May Day in many cultures around the world. It has roots in ancient spring festivals and is often marked with dancing around the Maypole and other festivities.

This last month I changed up the strategy of my content buckets a bit. you will see this change in the aesthetic pattern on my IG feed over the next few weeks as it rolls out. I'm keeping the umbrella bucket concepts the same.... inspire, educate and about me my brand my services. However... the intention of the content IN those buckets is more intentional then ever before!

 I'm focusing my content on the idea of nurture, engage and convert. It has been a long learning journey to get to this point of focus and I am loving it! Its at a point for me where it feels good, its in alignment with how I want to run my business and because I am solid on the intent it makes creating content to share sooooo much easier!!! 

If you are feeling stuck and would like some help I put together a digital product that follows along with the steps I took to put together a strategy and process that helped get me to this space today. It all starts with a solid foundation and then you build, adjust and go from there. Check it out HERE!

The JWP Hot Seats are back! These are fun IG Lives with my friends and loved ones, as well as some new friends! They happen every Friday! You can see some of the previous hot seats on the hot seat highlight there on my IG and if you would like to come on Live with me for one, just DM me the word hotseat and I will send you the calendar link for it!  This is a great way to have fun while collaborating... share audiences, let people see WHO you are as a person behind your brand/business and share a bit about what you do!

📸 Affiliate Program:  I recently created what I was calling Community Links for service providers, community leaders etc.. The idea being that you could offer a perk/thank you/add on bonus of a remote headshot photo session to your members/clients. SO many ways to implement this. After doing a few of these community links I decided to turn it into a affiliate program. 

How it works is you get a custom community link that only you have access to share and send out at your discretion. The people who book a remote photo session from your link get 25% off the session cost. YOU will get $20 credit for every booking that comes thru your link. You can cash out this credit by applying it to a session of your choice from my services OR purchase a gift certificate for a session of your choice that you can gift if you so choose. 

Depending on how many bookings come thru your link, you have the potential to get multiple sessions for yourself throughout the year to use as needed! 

If you would like a affiliate community link of your own... please shoot me a DM on IG and lets get the details set up and make it happen! I AM limiting this to 5 spots atm. Just because its a new roll out and I want to make sure it works as smoothly as it should before I open it up to the masses. :) 

If you have been procrastinating getting that headshot image updated... consider this your gentle reminder it needs to get done and I would love to help make that happen! Secure your spot on the calendar today! 

Thank you for being part of this awesome community. Let's make May a month to remember as we continue to grow and thrive together.

Sending hugs & blessings to you and yours!
