Tip of the Week: Networking

March 1st, 2010 • By: admin Photo Tips, Popular, Upcoming Events, Weekly Tips

As photographers, we focus on the photography side, but sometimes forget the other side of developing new relationships.  Here are a few ideas:

  1. Develope your own Network such as Twitter or Facebook.
  2. Be active in whatever networks you are involved in.
  3. Get a mentor, as you will learn from their experience.
  4. Follow up with the people you meet.

These are just a few ideas to start building your network.  For more ideas, and a indepth discussion of social networking, join us for our “Mastering Social Networking” workshop with David Saffir on March 10th for part 1 and March 17th for part 2.  Cost is $109 for both sessions.
