VIDEO: A Photo Student’s Guide to Turning Pro – Part 1: Marketing

Last year, I convinced a bunch of really great/wise/talented/smart/successful photographers to help me put together a post titled “The Top 11 Things Photographers Wish They Learned in Photo School“. It was wildly popular, and more than 200,000 people have seen it to date.

Since there was an obvious interest in this topic, we decided to create a 6-part webinar series called “Beyond The Classroom: A Photo Student’s Guide to Turning Pro“, and partnered up with Mac-on-Campus to deliver it to the masses.

The first webinar was recorded, and is now available here. Part 2  — about “Inspiration” — is coming soon, and it addresses how you can remain inspired, creative, and relevant throughout the duration of your photo career.

Join PhotoShelter co-founder Grover
Sanschagrin and Mac-On-Campus for the first installment of the Beyond
the Classroom: A Photo Student’s Guide to Turning Pro webinar series.
Learn how to build a successful photography business by knowing to
market yourself and your work.


Topics Covered:

Marketing Principles; Photography Websites; Social Media; Analytics;  Search Engine Optimization; Blogging; Today’s Opportunities.

More videos, interviews, surveys, and stories for students and emerging professional photographers can be found on “PhotoShelter’s Educational Resources” page.

Hi Grover, This was without doubt the best photography marketing information I have come across! I’ve now got 13 pages of notes that I can work from just from one hours video. I’d highly recommend it every photographer looking at taking their marketing to the next level. I’ve already got my work on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michael-Gordon-Photography/179422178736259) and will be moving into building a website/blog/twitter etc in the near future. Cheers, Michael ‘Michael Gordon Photography’ Fashion / Landscape / Automotive
