I see it has been more than six weeks since I posted anything new in my blog. I have already blown one “new Ed” promise. Oh well.
Gotta say, it is difficult marketing yourself as a photographer when you don’t even know how to reach the markets you want to which you want to appeal. How do you market to high school seniors for portraits? How do you market to event planners? These are the questions that boggle my mind.
I have inched closer to my financial goal for the year, however. Thanks to my buddy Chris North I picked up an event gig – a grand opening for a bank. It was surprisingly fun, and I gave out about 2 dozen business cards to attorneys, real estate agents, and small business owners.
As for my “pretty girl” shooting, I have every Saturday and Sunday in February and the first half of March booked.
So as a “hobby” photographer, I’m doing great. As a money-making photographer, I still have some work to do.
