Make money with photography: your first client
When you set out to make money from your digital photography, sooner or later you’ll get a paying client. Oh happy day!
Then, once the euphoria wears off, you panic.
Relax. There’s some great ideas here. What To Do When You Get Your First Paying Photo Client – A 10-Step Checklist For New Pros « Photofocus tells you what to do, and suggests:
“Now that you have the administrative stuff out of the way, remember the human touch. Within 24 hours of the booking, send a hand-written thank you note or a pre-printed professional thank you card to the client, thanking them for the booking. Include your business card and sign it with a good old fashioned ink pen. Use that same pen to write out the client’s name on the envelope.”
Wonderful advice.
Take it, and before you know it, your first shoot will be over, and you’ll book the next, and the next, launching a fabulous career.
