If the name sounds familiar, Jeff has appeared on the podcast for episodes 261 and 313.
He's the author of the book: The Photographers Missing “Link” edIn: Your Step by Step Guide on How to Make a Ton of Money on LinkedIn.
In a recent chat, Jeff told me LinkedIn has changed more in 3 months than the past two years, and there are still less than 8% of photographers with profiles on the platform.
He says, for many of the 100's of photographers I work with, LinkedIn is producing more paid jobs than ever before.
Here's some more of what we cover in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.

★★★★★ Asks The Questions You Were Thinking…
This review is by Strummn1 from the United States on August 5, 2021 vis Apple Podcasts.
Andrew is one of my favourite podcast interviewers. Besides exuding kindness and approachability, it seems he always asks the questions you would've liked to ask the guest.
He never pontificates or gets in the way of his guests, as a number of podcasters seem prone to do.
Photography Xperiment Podcasts gets into the nuts and bolts of various genres of photography and is a great conduit to some approaches to the art that are likely new to you.
Besides being entertaining, this podcast will absolutely expand your creative horizons!
★★★★★ THE Photography podcast you should be listening to!
This review is by Miami newborn photographer, Melissa Arlena Jeffcoat in the United States on August 3, 2021 via Apple Podcasts.
I’ve been listening to Andrew for years and the information his guests share beats all the others.
Andrew cuts through the fluff and asks the questions we all want answered to help us move our businesses forward.
I can’t even listen each week because there is so much info in each episode that I want to jump in and start implementing but I’m still working on the previous week's goodies!
He covers all genres of photography, business and marketing. I love to look through past episodes to get more info on certain topics like facebooks ads, email marketing and sales.
