How to Toe the Line Between Self-Promotion and Narcissism

Self-promotion is an aspect of photography that many, if not most, photographers struggle with. If you’re a photographer who’s in business for yourself, you know that a good portion of your working hours is spent exploring ways to stick out and stand out from the pack. While there’s certainly a fine line between shameless narcissism and tasteful and effective promotion to help your business and brand grow, The Photographer's Guide To Self-Promotion helps navigate that border with some keen advice and tips to grow your photography business.

After effectively helping you understand the importance, as well as touching on and explaining how to deal with the mental blocks that might be holding you back, Digital Photography School’s Nancy Young delves into some very helpful ideas. They range from the obvious but often overlooked tips like ‘Get Your Business Online,” to the not so obvious, like "Study Psychology.” She even provides several examples of photographers and their work, and what they’ve done to successfully promote themselves and their businesses.

With fall here and winter close upon us, now's a good time to brush up on some of these ideas and get ready to make 2015 your best year yet. Click the source link below for the full guide.
