Are you a good photographer…maybe really good?
Are you busy posting on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and the others receiving likes and “nice shot” comments?
Why don’t others outside your social media bubble know who you are and your photographic vision of the world?
It APPEARS to be too many photographers shouting for attention. The conflicting advice on how to become known for your work.
“You need to be everywhere..Facebook…Twitter…
Not really. With each of these places you’re playing in someone else’s sandbox, you have no control…as they say if it’s free…you’re the product.
Don’t get me wrong…these are good tools to connect with others and send visitors to your home base. But they’re only a piece of the puzzle.
First and foremost you need to own the platform, have full control to tell your own story in your own way.
You need your own photographic website…an online portfolio…that is the center of your photographic vision of the world. Everything else leads to it.
Of course, by now you already know this. But something is holding you back. It’s either lack of time, money or confusion…all of which lead to procrastination.
I’ve been a professional web developer for many years and I see these same issues over and over with our business clients.
That’s why I spent much of this year searching for an inexpensive easy-to-use web-based photography portfolio service that anyone can use to create an attractive online portfolio to tell their unique story.
I tested several services and found that Portfoliobox is just the right blend of ease of us, flexibility, service at a very reasonable price for almost any photographer. They’re also great people and very skilled developers.
And I worked a deal for members of our community to give it a try for free and save 50% on the first year of a Pro account if you choose to keep it.
If you’re ready to take control of your own photographic story online, then I recommend you check out the Portfoliobox Street Photography Magazine Community Cyber Monday 50% offer.
They were nice enough to extend this offer through December 2 to give you an opportunity to try it for free and still be able to get the 50% off if it works for you. And the offer is available now.
