Hi,

I am having trouble getting new clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The details are overwhelming ;)

sector, current marketing, advertising budget, etc

your past clients are your best advertising if you treat them well. All our clients are a results of networking or referals.

This is one of the best "put-on" threads yet.

No, seriously, it must be something I am doing. Maybe I should make them pay before hand?

What have been your efforts up to now. "I'm having trouble getting clients" is a tad on the generic side.

Your website doesn't really say that you are looking for clients. It reads more like someone with a hobby that wants to share that hobby with the world. Your galleries really don't show an indication of what you shoot other than a collection of personal type of shots. What kind of client are you really after.

Your only contact is by email. If you are serious about this you need to let the client call you. I would put a control on your homepage to allow users to turn the music off.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

This thread was a joke, sorry. Not so funny now that the clown image is gone.

:D

Can a mod please close it for me?
