Marketing Events Are a Scam (Mostly): How Photographers Can Spot the Bullshit and Find the Good Ones

Marketing Events Are a Scam (Mostly): How Photographers Can Spot the Bullshit and Find the Good Ones

Are you tired of shelling out cash for “business events” that feel more like cult meetings than actual marketing?
In this brutally honest episode of The Loud Lens, Khandie tears into the world of networking breakfasts, empowerment brunches, “boss babe summits,” and overpriced marketing retreats — exposing exactly why so many photographers walk away inspired… but still broke.

You’ll learn:

  • How to spot a scammy marketing event before you waste your money
  • The psychological tricks organisers use to pressure you into buying
  • Red flags that scream “this room is not for you”
  • What REAL business events look like (the ones where actual clients hang out)
  • How to choose events that actually lead to bookings, partnerships, and growth
  • Why so many people running marketing events aren’t running real businesses
  • And how photographers keep getting sucked into the hype

This is NOT another fluffy “networking is important” episode.
This is a deep dive into the marketing industry’s weirdest psychology, fakest gurus, and biggest money pits — and a practical guide to choosing events that actually move your photography business forward.

Perfect for:
Photographers who are sick of wasting time, sick of being sold to, and ready to market smarter rather than louder.

Listen now, take notes, and stop funding other people’s delusions of grandeur.
