I started my career when I was a lil soybean.... have always known I'd be in the creative arts... was an illustrator for 15 years but was always photographing for fun... one day I stopped and received my first real assignment with American Airlines photographing in Nicaragua.

End of year is great time to review your business and charity needs. Tax deductions can be very helpful. I upgrade my business equipment e.g. (exempli gratia) video and still cameras and computer items. Charity, hope you might look at http://www.artishelping.com an online method to purchase artwork (prints) to support a variety of non-profits and to support artists at the same time. A portion of the purchase is tax deductible. Use your credit card to purchase and you get points on your credit card.
Owning artwork be it original or some form of a copy is what adds value to being alive. Image if there were no visual artists, musicians, writers,dancers, etc. to expand our repetitive thinking we all fall into. Yes, I do buy art ... but I also trade with other artists my photography... The one...

The one other item I'd love to share is a project I developed where you can purchase art prints of various photographers, painters, sculptors and support non-profits organizations at the same time with one purchase.

Some clients {generally speaking}, lower end clients are price driven. So the trick is to have a reputation, experience and professional body of work to offer higher end clients value. When I shoot for my higher paying clients, they expect the best quality work, price is not a concern. I suggest to everyone build your career targeted to the right clients, not the the lowest common denominator. Have the work to back up your claim how good you are. My 2¢ which is now 3¢ with inflation.

I agree, referrals are part of the gears that move business. Online is a wonderful vehicle for networking in an ocean of the attention economy. I also love real facetime when meeting the right person needing the service I offer. I've received some very robust projects simply by meeting people at events or being at the gym. Having strong communication skills is a plus in making work happen. A few years ago I saw window displays for Whole Foods Market in NYC ... thought they were awful. I spoke to the manager and showed him why work. Nothing happened. 3 months later I received a phone call to meet the marketing team and landed a photography project which then turned into two more assignments.. 2 in NY and 1 in London... all because I approached the right person and make a clear presentation of the value I offer without being pushy. My 3¢. :-)

I too have some great clients and they still make me wait up to 60 days sometimes... the question to me is there value in the relationship... If you have not be "burned" (not paid) then I find waiting for payment still valuable having a repeat client. I always send out a PDF proposal with all terms for the client to know exactly what the project is, how it will be delivered and DEPOSIT terms to start the project. If the client is not a repeating client and a pain to deal with, then I'd consider legal action.. but make sure you have paperwork in place before you start any project... keep copies of your emails with the client about the project.
Print like all marketing outreach is over saturated... so I believe that using print, social media and other methods of the "attention economy" is a matter of what you are offering and how often you put the message out. I enjoy receiving really useful and well designed media that has a purpose...

Hard to answer this question... one of my favorite sales was when I sold a photograph on a website I developed, Art Is Helping http://www.artishelping.com to support both and non-profits and artists at the same time. The site allows buyers to select an image that want and the non-profit they want to support e.g. Greenpeace, City Meals on Wheels, etc. Knowing that the site Art Is Helping is actually making tangible help to those in need is very comforting. It also takes the concept of art off the wall and into the lives of people.
Passion is often very misunderstood. Having passion is just the tip of the iceberg. Having skills, vision and follow through are equally or more important. Ideas alone are don't go very far... so, any business be it hot dogs to photography you would be smart to have a whole concept as to how...

Passion is often very misunderstood. Having passion is just the tip of the iceberg. Having skills, vision and follow through are equally or more important. Ideas alone are don't go very far... so, any business be it hot dogs to photography you would be smart to have a whole concept as to how to proceed. Also realize you are not alone... In Demand vs. Passion... what is your major driving force.. Cash or a life of making a career based on something you believe in. Both are valid.
I've developed Art Is Helping which allows buyers to fund a range of non-profits and support artists at the same time by purchasing exhibition gallery quality prints. This Sunday I will be speaking at B&H Photo on 34th and 9th ave: https://tinyurl.com/y9z26w3y

I find value in various methods from social media to cold calling. Networking at events is really great for facetime... In today's world, there is no one solution. I suggest when you cold call know your clients business so you know what you are talking about should you get them on the phone. I have had marketing people call me and they didn't even know EXACTLY what my business is. Not very bright.
