My great love is photography. And I must say, I do not just take amateur photos, on the contrary - I create photos of the "Pro" level. Accordingly, I have accumulated a large knowledge base on promoting myself and my services in this area.

First, there will be channels that work specifically for a photographer. Despite this, you can find their analogues that work in your field. Next, I will share universal channels, some of which you have heard about many times, and some are not at all obvious.

For each channel, I will make a note P or F, which means whether it is paid or free.

And I will start with three things that will quickly and accurately bring results.

Must-Have Activities for a Photographer

1. Daily posting on social media (there should be a post with your photo work every day on social media) F
2. TFP shoots (organize 2-4 shoots per month to always have unique content) F
3. Collaborations and partnerships with people from the industry, such as presenters, makeup artists, photo studio owners and wedding restaurant administrators (you need to make it so that they recommend you to their clients, and in return, you will recommend them) F

    (Be more active, attend city events/seminars/master classes - meet people and tell everyone about yourself and your services)
26. Work with people F
    (This way you will make new acquaintances and connections. A cafe or coworking space will do)
27. Activity chats and direct mailings on Instagram !!!
    (I don't recommend doing this!!! Activity chats work poorly and slowly, and mailings generally irritate the audience)
28. Cheating subscribers on social networks !!!
    (I don't recommend doing this!!! Your account will simply die from a dead audience)

Don't forget to keep statistics on subscribers/site visitors/requests/clients/income/expenses, then you will understand whether your actions are effective or not.
