Marketing Mixology

When I was at the Strictly Business conference in Philadelphia I had several conversations with other photographers about the online portals, source books, directories, and social media sites that I use in my marketing and promotions. The general consensus was that I utilize quite a few of them, and I am always on the lookout for more innovate and expansive ways to spread my work and get it in front of viewers. I waned to share a few of these sites that I use with you. For the photographers and designers that read this blog, I hope it gives you some ideas on how you can increase your web presence for a minimal cost. And for the buyers, editors, and agency types reading this blog I know this will give you some ideas and new leads on where you can track down and see the work of some amazing new talent. And finally, for the stalkers that wait outside my place at night and mail me packages stuffed with creepiness, hopefully this will provide you a method of stalking me in a more efficient electronic manner (See, I’m trying to help everyone!)
