Are you tired of sending endless Instagram DMs, offering free shoots, and still not seeing consistent bookings? In this episode of The Pixl Marketing Show, Pete Stagl reveals why those old strategies don’t work anymore—and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

• Why Instagram’s algorithm changes have made traditional outreach nearly impossible.
• How to avoid the “free shoot trap” that leaves photographers undervalued and burned out.
• The 3 secrets of the Omni Outreach Method—a system to ethically find qualified leads, send messages that actually get responses, and automate multi-channel follow-up without sounding spammy.
• How to package and use transitional offers (like local stock photo packs) to build trust and relationships instead of giving away your time.

Whether you’re just starting your real estate media business or ready to scale, this training will show you how to generate leads predictably—without relying on hustle, hope, or freebies .
