Hey hey, First name / photographer!
There's been all sorts of chatter and “discourse” across the photography Instagram community over the last couple weeks about the concept of getting ghosted. It's something we all experience, and it's no one's favorite thing. But while watching the conversations happen surrounding the issue, I really only saw people sharing two courses of action:
- Get upset about it, and teach your audience why ghosting is rude.
- Just accept it as part of the job, and don't worry about it.
But did you know there's actually a third option? A BETTER option? What if you could actually do something to reduce how often you experience ghosting?
Instead of getting upset when you get ghosted
what if we worked to solve the problem?
The people inquiring with you aren't rude assholes who plotted to trick you, taking up your time and emotional energy before cackling as they deleted all communication with you. Ghosty potential clients aren't supervillains. They are just busy people. So, instead of getting mad or hurt, let's fix the root of the issue.
