Thank you Rog 😊🙏❤️

You're welcome, Tim.

Have a great day my man!

Same to you.

Thank you very much 😊🙏❤️

Thanks for your thoughts. I just added some pictures to the post. What do you think of them?

Are you making any money from it at all yet??

Hey Sondra. How's your website in photography coming along? I've been looking at some plug-ins to possibly use tho help me showcase my work and help me sell them. Have you tried any yet?

Hi Scott,
First, I am so sorry that I misssed your other questions. I could have sworn that I replied to the first. Not sure what happened other than I have been flying through email.

Although I'm still doing research that will be used for the photography niche, I have set aside the domain that I bought specifically for photography at the moment.

With the holidays, I have need to focus on my brick and mortar shop - which includes art, photography and home decor. I currently have a void in a certain type of artwork (cattle) that is being requested, so I have also been planning to go out and shoot some of my own pictures. The most popular type of cows around here are black angus, so I am having to really think and plan the upcoming photoshoots.

For you, I would recommend working on articles and best of products for the short run. See Dylan's training. Well known things/items will get the traffic to your site. Then, once you have people coming you can also work on showcasing your work.

Although I don't always have time to shrink down and watermark my images, I would try to use your own photos every chance you get in blog posts in order to get your name out there.

Keep up with the training. Also, I am thinking Pintrest has the potential to be very useful. Again - make sure you are watermarking your images and possibly having the files small enough that they look good on a computer screen but not so good at higher resolutions. You don't want people stealing.

To reiterate - try to focus on what it takes to get traffic to your site at the moment. Even if it is discussing the subjects of your pictures. (I found awesome food photography website last night. She was best known for her cooking recipe blog. Yet she is probably making more money off of her food photography workshops and Amazon affiliate links to high end Canon equipment. Think full frame cameras and their lenses.) This is example.

Again - using my brick and mortar store as example, I love pigs. Pigs artwork is currently my best seller. (Ask me six months ago if that would be case, and I would have thought it crazy. ). When people come in my shop, they expect something rural Colorado. Then they find the artwork and home decor they just fall in love with.

Sorry for the book..... lol.

Open more thing, special photography plugins - no. I have been primarily concerned with making sure I am using the image optimizer plugins recommended by WA so that the large pictures do not slow down the website too much. That is the biggest problem that many photographers have. Pictures don't load fast enough, people bail.

Thank you very much for the "book." Your experience is so valuable to me. I have a lot to learn. Cows and pigs, huh??? Who'd of thunk it? lol

I appreciate your perspective very much and I look forward to keeping tabs on each other going forward.

ttys,
Tim
