Issue 03 – Doing Business On Location

Posted on July 10th, 2010 by Aric Hoek
How to start a photography business.

Many photographers, for one reason or another, do not have a physical studio to shoot in or do business in. So, consultations and sales meetings are all handled on location. During this teleseminar I discuss how to be more successful when conducting business on location.

Issue 02 – The Most Important Piece of Photographic Equipment

Posted on July 10th, 2010 by Aric Hoek
How to start a photography business.

Like you, I love photographic equipment. It’s my belief though, that a photographer’s most important piece of photographic equipment is not some lens, or even a camera for that matter.

A photographer’s most important piece of equipment is his/her phone.

The PPBF Podcast!

Posted on July 10th, 2010 by Aric Hoek
How to start a photography business.

The Pro Photo Business forum Podcast is here! Although, I am going through a rather large learning curve.

http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/the-pro-photo-business-forum/id381534910

When you visit the Podcast now, you will be able to subscribe, but I am currently making some big changes to the rss feed, so this may disrupt your subscription. So my advice is to go ahead and listen to your heart’s content, but just be aware you may have to re-subscribe in a few days, once we get the kinks worked out.

If you are new to my series of teleseminars, they are designed to help amateur portrait photographers transition into professional portrait photographers. You can find out more here.
