The Joy of Marketing Telesummit (Sarah Petty)

September 28th, 2009

Today and tomorrow (28th & 29th September 2009) sees an unprecedented and unique opportunity for professional photographers everywhere. Never have I seen such an incredible assemblage of photographic rock stars come together and offer this much business education for FREE!! Yes, I did say FREE. Well, almost at least. If you have 16 hours to spare at your telephone, of course. Personally, I preferred to take the option of buying the MP3 audio files afterwards so that I can listen to them at my leisure and not worry about my phone battery dying or using up all my precious cell phone minutes.

To find out more about this incredible series of presentations, head over to the Joy of Marketing website where you can still register and/or buy the audio downloads. Here is a list of the speakers on this amazing event:

  • Edward Zemba
  • David Ziser
  • Kevin Kubota
  • Jen Hillenga
  • Kia Bondurant
  • Kent & Sarah Smith
  • John Hartman
  • Sarah Petty
  • Tim & Beverly Walden
  • Lori Nordstrom
  • Rod Evans
  • Vicki Taufer
  • Dane Sanders
  • Allison & Jeff Rodgers
  • Marilyn Sholin
  • Julie Klaasmeyer

I’m really looking forward to listening in once the MP3s are ready. Check it out today, this is the best photographic business education you can get anywhere.

New Blog – Charles J. Lewis – Mentor

August 18th, 2009

I encourage anyone working as a photographer to check out the new blog by Mr. Charles J. Lewis. I have been a student of Chuck’s now for about two years and have found his teachings to be solid and based soundly on proven experience. One thing is certain - I would not be in business as a photographer right now if it wasn’t for Chuck, and I know of many others who can say the same.

If you’re looking for information on the latest gear, the newest Photoshop tip or what f-stop to use, Mr. Lewis’ blog may not be for you… but, if you’re interested in the business of being a photographer, marketing & selling then I would advise you to hurry on over to http://www.cjlewis.com/blog/ as fast as your mouse will get you there…

Rod Evans TV

July 6th, 2009

I recently found this relatively new site by successful US photographer Rod Evans, where he posts short but free and incisive video tutorials. He also has a series of eductional videos that he markets.

I found the short video segments very useful and fun to watch. You can check them out here on Rod Evans TV.
