- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I started my business in a small town. Moved to a larger town in the same state but was still relatively small. All I needed to get my word out there was word of mouth. There also wasn't a flood of photographers available. Now that I've moved to a major city I need to start looking into advertising. Where are some good places to advertise at? I really don't want to post an ad on craigslist. Even if I did, I'm sure it wouldn't do any good with all the "photographers" posting there 50 dollar free cd ads on it. I'm looking for higher end cliental. I have gotten a few clients (an mma training gym and a dude ranch). But the pay isn't great as I'm mostly trying to get my word out and get the perks that come with these shoots (free gym membership and a free weekend at the ranch). Up until now i've run a rather small outfit, but i'm getting a loan from the bank to really invest in my equipment. Soooo. Where to advertise? How to get the word out in a major city? I hate to do a ton of pro-bono work in hopes of getting some word of mouth, but if thats what I have to do. Stupid Economy.
