    \n
  1. Be active on social sites – sites like facebook and flickr are photo rich, great opportunities to show off your amazing shots<\/li>\n
  2. Design your website around showing off your photos (use wordpress.org and a good photo business theme)<\/li>\n
  3. Setup your business on all the big directories (Google Places, yahoo maps, mapquest, superpages, citcysearch)<\/li>\n
  4. Get connected on the wedding websites – weddingwire.com for instance<\/li>\n
  5. Offer your clients the option to buy their photographs off your laser engraved, customized usb drives – easier to use than a CD, useful for years, plus it has your logo and name on it!<\/li>\n
  6. Always follow up with a thank you card or gift and ask for referrals. Ask something specific, like “Do you have any other friends who have just had babies that would like photographs done?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
