After mentioning you are a photographer, the next thing to talk about is what your specialty is. Kids? Sports? Action? Think about being able to state what your specialty is. Your business card might hint at this, or your website or photo gallery might feature prominently images of your specialty as the first album or gallery folder. Market your specialty so networking can multiply commissions and image sales.
Get critiques and feedback online and get the skinny on what kind of photography “survey says” you are best at. Concentrate on those market and promotion sources for revenue. Bring on the marketing plan and schedule long and short term goals. A short term goal might be one style and beauty image sold, and a long term goals might be a monetary figure for overall sales total in cash.
Don’t take things for granted. There are photo opportunities in every city if you can focus on what is a contrast to another region or country. Look at the architecture, the cityscape, the air quality, the cars people drive, how they dress, and more.
