Can anyone provide me with some useful ones? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamara Artis Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Heya! I don't know how well you know everything about SL photography, but lets say you know it and you're good at it. First, before you start your own business, make sure you have clients! My advice is to do what you like - make photos. Make tons of them. Post them wherever you can. When your skills improve, people will ask you to do photos for them. Do photos for your friends. And their friends. For start, they will be your advertising tools. Every new person that asks you to do a photo is your new client. Besides clients, you need to learn how to run a business. Search for all possible advertising tools. Learn about customer service. Spend many hours in improving your skills. If I were you I would: 1. become a photographer, 2. become a manager in the photography studio, 3. collect tons of clients. ... Then open a business:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
