Digital Photography Marketing Technique
By: Daniel Edward
Now and then I'll get digital photographers coming to me seeking a internet site review or a couple of challenging photo promoting questions. The questions are easily dealt with, but the photography sites, as lovely as they typically are, leave me puzzled. Here's an example.
I clicked through to a portrait photographer who had a pretty impressive little portfolio web page and watched his website load up. Cool flash experience, lovely design and navigation. Full points for presentation indeed. But, dare I ask brother, how on earth are you going to get visitors for your web site?
OK, so maybe this guy includes a program, and a way to do just that. But if he (or you) don't currently have a prepare in place for traffic generation (visitors) then I suggest you begin by applying content advertising. And just before you say "dude, I'm a photographer, not a writer!" let me explain how simple, successful and just why you might wish to think about penning an write-up or two.
Firstly, if you'll be able to talk about photography, digital photography, using a wide angle lens, how to create the ideal portrait, use the correct photography lighting, or even why you LOVE photography (etc) then It is possible to write articles. And even far better, it is possible to write articles about what you know about photography! (Just like I'm doing now).
The magic of marketing your photography with post writing is inside the fact that your post can get picked up and applied on numerous favorite web sites, where every website has a unique link back in your web site. See how it works? Men and women read your write-up, click as a result of in your photo web site... And suddenly you've got a whole LOT of people seeing your stuff!
No need to limit yourself to just taking photos! You possibly can embrace the complete spectrum - write small 400 word articles about your photography, or 3 page travel based content articles for magazines exactly where you take the photos too. Throw the "I'm a photographer not a writer!" idea out the window. At the end of the day you still need to marketplace your photography - so give it a shot!
