As a photographer, what should your target audience be? Are you going to sell to other photographers or people who are in need of photographers? For instance, if you are trying to obtain more portrait work, marketing to other photographers is probably not going to net you much business, or am I missing something?
great tips we are a new photography business, My husband though has been a pro photographer for over 35 yrs (black and white fine art) I have taken over the marketing and was glad I came across the post on pro studio supplies on Face Book! It is a bit daunting starting a new business and being new in town,
Thanks again
Making a name for yourself to other photographers is as important in social media because the photography community is just that, a community. If someone hears of a job and knows you are from Alaska they will point the job in your direction. That happened to me just yesterday. Marketing to everyone in social media is a good thing.
I totally understand. The economy makes it even harder creating a business. Fortunately there is a lot that can be done through social media. Thanks for reading and I hope that what I write helps or at least points you in the right directions.

Great tips! One tip I have is to always make sure your tweet has extra space at the end to allow for it to be retweeted easily as it can get cumbersome if you need to delete words to have the tweet still make sense.
The extra space I leave is usually the length of “RT @” + your twitter account name :)
That is a very good tip. Sometimes leaving space is just not possible but it is a great idea.
