You’re Officially Live On My Directory
Congrats!
Your profile is now officially live in my International Directory of Personal Branding Photographers! You now have your own permanent place on my website showcasing your talent to my students and clients all over the world.
You’ve landed on this page because you got an email with:
A link to your city’s page inside my Directory where your profile lives
A WeTransfer link with optional promo assets you can use on social media
This is your moment. If you’d like to share it with your followers, I’ve made it as easy as possible for you. No rules. No pressure. Your content strategy is yours. What you do with this is completely up to you.
The Best Way to Share The News
Instagram Stories is the simplest way to share that you’re live. Why?
Because you can link directly to your profile in the directory from your Instagram Stories.
If you’d like to share, here are a few easy options using the content we’ve sent you:
1. Directory Logo Graphic
Use this to introduce the directory and link to your profile page on the Directory.
2. Your Featured Photographer Graphic
Use this to celebrate your individual feature. Keep it simple and link to your profile page on the Directory.
3. Teaser Video
This fast-paced vertical video shows scrolling moments of the full directory. Share it as a Story or a Reel. However you like.
You can use one piece, two, all three, or none at all.
You can also create your own post, selfie, graphic, or video.
You can just link to your profile page in the Directory and say, “I’m featured!”
There’s no right or wrong way to share the news. Use what feels most aligned to you.
If you do tag me on Instagram, then please use my account name @jonathantilleydotcom
About That Instagram Carousel…
In the near future, I’ll also feature you on my Instagram Feed with a dedicated carousel post singing your praises. This carousel will include:
Small snippets pulled from your full profile on my Directory
A selection of images from your portfolio
A tag to your Instagram account in the caption so my followers can follow you
A detailed description in the caption about how amazing you are :-)
You’ll receive a notification when I tag you, and you’re welcome to share the carousel if you like. No pressure.
Here are some options. You can:
Simply reshare the carousel to your Stories
Share one of the assets I sent you via WeTransfer first to Stories as an intro, then share the carousel to Stories
Or post anything else that feels natural and aligned to you
Feel free to link to your city’s page in the Directory where your profile lives when posting to Stories
You won’t get a DM before hand. I’ll just tag you when it goes live and trust you’ll see it. You may also get an influx of new Instagram followers that are in your area. Woohoo!
If You’d Like To Share On Feed (Or Anywhere Else)
Great thanks! Here are some options for also spreading the word about your profile on your Instagram Feed. Feel free to:
Use the teaser video I sent via We Transfer and post it as a Reel
Create your own content introducing your profile
Speak to camera and share what the feature means to you
Share one of the still graphics I sent over via We Transfer as a post with music on top of it
Snap a BTS pic of your profile in the Directory
Feel free to tag me in your Feed content @jonathantilleydotcom so I can share it with my followers as well.
Got a newsletter? Host a podcast? Leading an event?
Rising tides lift all boats. It’s great to have you in my Directory and I’m honored to share your talent with my audience. If I can help you in any way, just say the word.
This isn’t about mass cross-promotion. This is about building relationships and connections that feel organic. And I’m so grateful to have this connection with you.
So In Summary…
You’re live. Woohoo! You’re welcome to share the news however you like.
Instagram Stories are the best way to link out to your profile page in the Directory. That link has been emailed to you along with the WeTransfer content.
You’ll be featured in a carousel post later that sings your praises. I’ll tag you when it’s live.
You don’t have to post anything if you don’t feel like it. I’m grateful to feature you in my Directory.
