The hard thing is with this economy I have not SPREAD THE WORD as much as I would have liked. I have been using a Facebook page, twitter, Instagram, sending e-mails, and spreading the word by talking about my work. I even sent out postcards to people over the holidays. I have been doing things to keep busy such as making slideshows for my cousin's wedding, which somehow I keep getting asked to do that for every family wedding (I guess I am better at using computers than I thought). Other things I do to earn money are helping out my family which can be a good and a bad thing. It is a good thing, because I want them to know I am there for them so they will help me. The bad part is when I actually need some time to do work they think I can automatically do it. The thing is I want to be helpful and do things for my family, but how can I also do that and SPREAD THE WORD? Right now, I am trying to find a balance so I have decided to babysit, which in itself is good money and you can be a good role model for kids.
I have all these ideas for my work, but how am I going to be able to pursue them without getting my name out there? I use social media and I talk about my work. My family talks about my work. What else can I do to become an established photographer in 2014?
This is a custom photograph sent to me by a family member that I gave to another family member for a birthday present. This was put on wood block with silver leaf on the background.
This photograph I took of a family friend's dog Punkin. Punkin's picture was put on wood block with silver leaf on the background.
