Lead generation is without doubt one of the most crucial skills a photography business owner needs — apart from creating images that is.
Fact: Photographers who can market themselves will always outperform those who can't, irrespective of the quality of their images.
Why is that?You may have a fantastic gallery full of wonderful, beautiful images but if nobody knows about you, if nobody sees them, they might as well not exist. You'll lose sales and market share for the want of being able to get your images in front of the right people.

This week saw another landmark milestone for my main photography website, http://gavinthorn.com, that of achieving over 1,000 visitors to the site in a rolling one month window, as measured by Google Analytics.

Over a thousand visitors! I still cannot believe it.
Furthermore, the traffic is still increasing and long may it continue to do so.

With my recent decision to start building the business side of the business I’m going to be attending a big networking event on Friday next week. That needs cards and this isn’t really the audience for my portrait or wedding cards. So, I need some new ones.
Designed these (see images above) over the last couple of days and after a lot of playing around with text and graphics, finally settled on somehing I like. It isn’t perfect but at least I’m happy with the layout.
Just placed the order and hopefully they should arrive in time for Friday’s event.
Hi, I'm Gavin the photographer.
I used to work in IT until a few years ago. I was under a lot of stress at work and getting really p*****d off. Then one day I chose to give it all up and follow a dream. Everyone I knew thought I was nuts, that just made me try harder :-)
I believe any photographer can do what I did, earn money from their photos, maybe even start their own business.
