I guess it’s time to mention a bit of business side of photography. Most of my things what i do within business I generally research a lot beforehand. I try to find out what works and what possibly doesn’t before I waste my time and money. I’m not here to invent new wheal, I’m here to learn and earn some living with what I do.

Marketing should be big part of your plan. At least it is in my business. I want to bring a bit of fresh air to my clients and raise above average photographer. I’m implementing quiet few new marketing and sale techniques. So far most of the things what i have done, works a treat and clients are happy and I’m fed

I listen quiet few podcasts for photographers and New Media Photographer is one of them. If you are serious about your business, you will listen to these guys. I know you might say, I can’t be bothered to sit and listen for hours and hours. But in same time I can tell you that you can walk around in dark and keep thinking will this work? , will this fail? stop wondering listen here and most likely there will be somewhere an answer. Yes you will need to invest time, but it is you education time, you might miss movie evening here and there, but hey you might get another marketing trick in your bag and be slightly ahead of weekend shooters.

I’m still establishing my photography business in Edinburgh, but will tell you that I’m pretty confident in what I’m doing and it is just matter of the time when I will start to achieve my full time photographers target and start to earn enough to finally go for few weeks holiday and hopefully not to worry too much about shortage of clients. Need to be persistent and work hard and look after your existing clients. Most of my business is repeat and referral, but at least I’m happy on progress line.

I know I might sound like big head shouting around, but sometimes you need to be like that.

Here it is:
