Brent Mail Portrait Photography Business Course

heard a nice interview with him thru Phil Steele

his story and approach seemed really sincere, any thoughts on it?

anyone have another they would recommend more? always looking to learn even more about the business side

Pretty curious if anyone has an opinion on this. I know the business side of things is my weakest point and I'm always willing to learn.

Jimmy Beltz (phototips.biz) has a pretty good business course, and it's only $20. Disclaimer: I don't know him, but he is a fellow Okie. I'm not a shill or anything (which is exactly something a shill would say, I know ).

Jacob, i really liked the interview, go search phil steele on youtube and look for the brent mail interview

What's a shill

I bit, purchased it and going through it now...

It really does seem to have some very good information. Production quality is not as good as a Lynda.com course, but is perfectly acceptable and not distracting.
Can't say if the information is going to really improve my business by that much, but it's certainly answering a lot of questions I've had about marketing and giving me lots of good ideas to implement.

Jacob, thats great to hear. it seems like it would be good. Is it a lot of generic info or really precise steps that seem to be out of the box. Just want to make sure its not just the obvious. I have a sales background so already implement a lot of this strategies.

how are the supporting forms, templates etc

anyone else??

It's pretty specific up to where I am, so far,

"This marketing technique WORKED for me. This is what we did, this is how we did it, here are samples of that we use, this is what we printed it on, and here's what we do with it."

then "These DIDN'T work'
and "These MIGHT work for you but we stopped using them"

Thank you, how is the book portion and templates? i think i read it has like 50 hours of video, is this correct?

i just bought it yesterday, It's pretty good, Not sure if pricing is going to work in the Phoenix AZ area

Just watched one useful vid on this guys Youtube channel and will be going back for me.

I think I would throttle Brent Mail on sight. My guess is that Mail makes more money from selling advertising courses than from photography. I find that hard to respect.
