Wootness™! The Big Girl's Guide to Starting a Photography Business

This is a website for people who are starting a photography business. Lots of tips and practical cost savings ideas for new startups ranging from legal issues such as copyrights to backdrops details. Christine also muses about the right attitude for those wanting to be a professional photographer. How to deal with a competitor, what not to say to a client during a client's appointment.

Basically the writer of this site, Christine does a lot of networking with photographers. She recommended ways to help you better organize your work. There is an interesting post she wrote about 'a day' of hers from 5AM. From retouching work, printing order, designing wedding album projects to how to manage low priority and quick-to-do items. Then studio appointments, proofing sessions, returning phone calls, calling client for pickups and the list of work goes on.

The good note within for her guide as it includes social media, she updates and finish blog post writing faithfully. Even she has a fixed schedule of three posts per day and this discipline is one of the most valuable for a sole proprietor photographer.

The other wonderful tips in the Big Girl's Guide are marketing, financial, education and gears. Christine goes from why not to market yourself as 'cheap/affordable' photographer as a mistake. A good lesson for every photographer wannabe. She places emphasis on the quality of the service you provide as the highest creed. And she also gave examples of how people have done that and succeeded.

I like her site. It has a very 'genuine spirit' from a real person and the perspectives are reasonable issues if you are someone who is interested in photography and even feel that someday, you might end up running a photography business (knowingly or unknowingly). Two words: very practical and useful!
