Are you a photographer? And do you blog?
Here we will discuss why it may be in your interest as a photographer to regularly blog your work or something about what you do. But should ALL photographers blog?
Networking.
As most of you know, especially if you ARE reading this post, the internet is today's knowledge bank, and the majority of us when seeking any sort of resources simply type it into our search engines. In addition to that, we now spend a lot more time on the internet than we did years ago due to the social elements and networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, BeBo and Myspace (to name a few).
So, how does this benefit you as a photographer? Your work can now attract a huge number of people to your work with minimal effort and in very little time. How is this useful to you? Simple, this can help generate more work for you, it can attract feedback from fellow photographers and even requests for advice from others.
But why a blog?
Now, how about having a blog, your own domain (or address) where you regularly do this sharing and of course link it back to your social networking profiles. This adds to your web-presence and as a professional, amateur, beginner, educator or simply a fanatic, this is worth your consideration.
Our photography site www.iDrawWithLight.com has seen almost 8 times more visitors than it did when all there was was word of mouth and occasional link sharing. Of course the work load increases, but isn't this what you want as a photographer?
