If you are already an existing photographer you are also doing the right thing by looking to expand your existing network. \u00a0The people who expect work to come their way without doing the necessary networking may be successful in the short term, but it is a terrible long term strategy. \u00a0And don\u2019t we all want to keep being paid photographers for our whole career?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Website and Social Media<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a website already, don\u2019t you? \u00a0If you don\u2019t, make your top priority to not only create a website, but one that is professional and represents your photography well. \u00a0Clients can\u2019t book someone they don\u2019t know exists. \u00a0And in today\u2019s technologically connected age, not having a website is a red flag for potential clients. \u00a0They worry that if you don\u2019t have a website they have no idea if they can trust you. \u00a0Having a website is like a virtual handshake before you ever meet a client. \u00a0They get an impression of you on their first glance at your website so make sure your homepage is simple and appealing. \u00a0Next make sure to only display your best work. \u00a0You don\u2019t need to include everything, especially if it is not the best of what you can do. \u00a0Another way to distinguish yourself is to write a blog on your site. \u00a0This gives potential clients a more in-depth glimpse in to how you think and what is important to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also be on the major social media sharing sites. \u00a0Facebook used to be very effective, but they have made it harder for businesses to reach their followers. \u00a0I personally like Instagram for the massive community that they have built. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Social-media-logos.jpg\" alt=\"social-media-logos\" width=\"520\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Social-media-logos.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Social-media-logos-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Traffic<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a website is not very effective if no one sees it. \u00a0It would be like building a billboard in your apartment. Get that billboard out on the information super highway in front of people. \u00a0Hire an SEO (search engine optimization) expert to help you draw traffic to your site or you can do the grunt work and learn how to best optimize your site to generate traffic. \u00a0If you decide to do it yourself make sure to set goals and be able to track success through statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Go Get \u2018em<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients don\u2019t just coming knocking on your door, you need to make sure you are actively searching for your next clients. \u00a0This is important to do even when you are busy in order to ensure steady work. \u00a0The best and easiest way to get more clients is to ask the clients you already have to refer you to their friends and colleagues. \u00a0Since you have already worked with them and they were happy with your work, existing clients are the easiest clients to approach to find new work. \u00a0Even if they don\u2019t currently know anyone who needs your services, when they do they will be sure to reach out to you. \u00a0When you are in business for a long time existing clients and referrals from them make up most of the work you receive. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reaching out to potential clients whom you don\u2019t know is not as scary as you think. \u00a0You are not trying to get them to switch their mobile carrier. \u00a0When I approach people to ask if they would be interested in learning about my photography services I almost never run into combative people. \u00a099% of people either welcome the conversation or politely decline. \u00a0Be brave, if you are a wedding photographer, go to your local religious centers and ask to speak to someone who may be able to help. \u00a0If you are a commercial photographer, start calling businesses or even better show up in person with a tablet and examples of your work. \u00a0No matter what you do though, go out there and start making contact with potential clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26269\"

\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Collaborate<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as you collaborate on social media by sharing and posting, you should also do the same in the real world. \u00a0Getting to know photographers who share your passion and who have an entirely different network from your own can be both financially as well as socially rewarding. \u00a0They see the world through their own lens and have different skillsets, knowledge and tricks. \u00a0Sharing information, resources and yes sometimes even clients are only some of the benefits of having photographer friends. \u00a0Go to meetups of photographers, work for other photographers, and find local association of photographers. \u00a0Or just talk to people you see taking photographs around town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img

photography profession and lending a hand. \u00a0You can mentor someone who is just starting out and have them assist you your shoots. \u00a0Or you can share your knowledge and time with someone who wants to pick your brain about starting a career as a photographer. \u00a0I am sure when you were starting out there was someone or a few people who advised you, I know I was grateful to the people who helped me. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to be a successful freelance photographer, you can\u2019t wait for the clients to come to you &#8211; you need
