ONE CAMERA AND ONE MIKE -- To Film a Conservation Project – Jerry Monkman: When Canon introduced the 5D Mark II a few years ago, I decided to give shooting video a try. As usual, I may have overestimated what I was getting myself into, but after six months I was able to pull off this video for a client. http://www.pronaturephotographer.com/2013/05/one-camera-and-one-microphone-filming-a-conservation-project/

YOUTUBE AS SALES TOOL -- – Dean “When you’re looking to sell photography services, you know you’re going to need a website — and ideally one that’s free of Flash, easy to browse and contains an impressive but select portfolio. You might also want a Facebook page. But what about a YouTube channel? Should photographers be thinking of video-sharing as a way of showing off their talent for stills? YouTube can be useful for photographers. But if you’re looking to make money out of photography — and you want to use videos to help you — watch it for the tips but shoot for the clients. http://blogs.photopreneur.com/youtube-fails-to-bring-sales-for-photographers?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PhotopreneurBlog+%28Photopreneur+Blog%29

ADD SOME GLAMOR -- Andrea Petersen: “Don't Forget to Pack a Photographer. A growing number of hotels and resorts are offering sessions with photographers to chronicle guests' vacations. Travelers want to record memorable moments without ruining them stressing about focus and flash. They want more sophisticated shots to share on social media. And vacationers realize that an iPhone may not catch that perfect surfing or skiing triumph. SOURCE:

VIDEO IS NOT A MARKET – Gail Mooney: “Some photographers’ existing clients are asking for video. They witness the public’s hunger for motion content to watch on their iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices and they realize they have a need for video. Video is in demand. A lot of photographers think they need to become “videographers” and go after that “market”. But video isn’t really a market at all. It’s a medium that has sound and motion, and is used – just as we do with still images – to communicate; to tell a story or deliver a message. http://www.asmp.org/strictlybusiness/2012/06/video-is-not-a-market/#.T-UwjHW4GVI

Ask an Art Buyer: Targeting and Evaluating your Promotion – Heather Morton’s answer via video to Ryan Roger’s question, I have an account with agency access, and have been sending out printed promos.

TAKEAWAY: Mailing list marketing is shooting in the dark. Heather would say, Don’t”. The reality: Commercial photobuyers stand over a wastebasket when they review incoming promotional mail. It's important to target your list as Heather says.
