Whats the best way to market your work???

I’m using Letshost too. While it can go down from time to time (mostly with maintainence related procedures), I find them very responsive and helpful.

Its still the way I get most of my work !
Yep this is still the best way. I did a wedding shoot for a friend last year and it lead to more work then I was able to handle. I didn’t charge very much the first time but it lead to a lot of work.

Yours thoughts please! I sell my work to friends and family but I would love to try and market it to the public. I have no means of displaying work and I do not have my own site. For the people who have their own site: do you think its the best way to market your work or would you rather have somewhere to show it off????
It always good to have your own site, If you google PHOTIUM you can have a site on line in a few hours. Craft shops and cafe`s are always a good place to approach about selling your work[/b]
I found a great hosting site, which has loads of functions/tools and is very easy to use – Siteground
You get loads of space (500GB) and they are great for support, all for just $6 per month.
My website is only up a very short while, and is still very much a work in progress, but has already generated some business for me. Linking to other sites/photographers etc is also a good way to network.

Having a website is a good start and does not cost the earth. I have a website since 2000 and it has been great for showcasing work and getting bookings. However, in the past 18 months it began to die and I found it had fallen off
nearly all of the search engines. This was due to the way it was built and the way it was “marketed” towards the
search engines. I am now almost through in finishing a re-build, re-hosting and adding a few new addresses.
Currently I have http://www.gerrycostello.com and the re-built site will be http://www.gerrycostello.ie. I will repoint the http://www.gerrycostello.com at that and also point http://www.gerrycostello.co.uk also. But the most important part will be getting priority and high status listings on the better search engines……………….fingers crossed, I’ll probably be up and running by next week I hope.However, getting back, you should consider a website and get traffic going through it.
Good advice, best of luck with the new site, looking forward to having a look in. have a look at mine and let me know what you think, Its just a month old now so any comments will help to improve it….
My site address is http://www.johndoylephotography.com
Good luck[/b]
