TRUE ELEMENTS: Business Essentials PDF | $39 ($79 regular price)
The idea for True Elements came from the original guide I released last year, Field Notes. I decided to dig deeper and really dive into each topic discussed and break it up into separate guides.
Business Essentials is just that, the key fundamentals for a photography business. This is the first installment of a series of books for True Elements. Business Essentials covers several areas of owning and operating a photography business, with so many hats to wear as a business owner, it can be overwhelming making sure all areas are covered. Business Essentials is broken down into specific categories with ideas and tools you can implement immediately. Some of the examples given are geared toward senior photography, but may be applied to all genres of photography. The following topics are covered:
- Setting Goals
- RAW vs. JPEG
- Pricing & Sales
- Marketing
- Senior Rep & Referral Programs
- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest
- Points of Contact
