Want to have some fun, meet new people, practice your photography and make some extra money - all at the same time? You can. It's really pretty easy. Here's how... Put on some business attire, go to the fanciest restaurant in town, and make them an offer they can't refuse... |
EVERY business wants to do more for their customers, especially if it doesn't cost anything. Since most higher end restaurants have a Sunday brunch, here is an idea for you. Offer to set up and do FREE portraits of the families that attend their Sunday brunch! You don't have to be Ansel Adams, you just have to be competent - and they will jump at the chance! This is good for everyone all the way around . First - the restaurant gets to add value to their brunch. They get to offer a better experience for their customers, thereby generating a TON of goodwill. And it doesn't cost them anything! Basically, a no brainer. Next - the customer gets a free family portrait sitting. You'd be amazed at how many families really want a portrait, but never get around to having one done. And SHAZAAM! - there you are! Camera in hand and their whole family is dressed up in their Sunday best. No trip to the studio, no arguing over what to wear, and so on... Plus it's FREE! Here's what they will be thinking. "What's the worst that can happen? Well...the worst thing is we won't like the picture and end up tossing it. But maybe, just maybe, (they reason) it will be the best portrait EVER." After all, what have they got to lose? Nothing. Again a no brainer. Lastly - for you, you get access to a whole bunch of people that are willing to use your photographic services! What a way to get started as a part time professional photographer! Yeah, I know, Sunday is the day you spend lounging in front of the television set. But, wouldn't it be more fun to earn an extra $300-$400-$1000? And still be home by 2 o'clock? You can. If this sounds at all interesting, or if you are just curious as to how to easily convert a free portrait session into a very nice, part time photography income - go to the website listed below and sign up for my free photo marketing newsletter.
