One of the most common things I see with those getting started into a Photography Business is how surprised they are to discover that “great photography” has very little to do with running a successful business.
The Business Crash Course for Photographers DVD production should finish in the next few days. (It has been 2 years in the making and originally started as the “Wedding Photography Crash Course” DVD which so many of you have asked for). To the best of my knowledge, there is not another DVD training set like it on the market, and costs a fraction of what I would charge for a 3 day workshop from which it was filmed, and many of you wanted to attend, but were unable to.
The Business Crash Course includes additional DVD ROM materials, including an exercise workbook, my suggested reading and website resource list, and Sample Contract. It is made especially for beginning and intermediate Photography Business owners and Advanced Business owners who are looking for a Crash Course on Marketing and Strategy if they do not have this training. It runs just over 7 hours in length.
The Pre-Order Special should go on next week and be available for about 2-3 weeks when they start shipping. All of those who Pre-Order will receive a significant discount (I am planning on 20% off), as well as a FREE LIFETIME membership to the “Secret” Business side of the Forum where we have Photography Business threads. (It typically runs $50 per year).
For any of those 100+ plus workshop attendees, you will be given an exclusive 50% off during the pre-order special.
For any of you who attended at 3 day workshop at Tampa or in Nashville- This amazing DVD set is FREE!!
I know this cover may seem a little peculiar….why would I have a fishing pole on a Business DVD Cover?PS- It’s going to take me some time to download the other 1,800 full size images for the Main Division Photography Contest, just know that this is something I am working on and will post soon. It is also possible we will go ahead with the Cell Phone Contest First while I am organizing all of the others.
Sounds like its going to be another great dvd M. So if I read this correct the wedding and business dvds are both wraped into this one?
I know why:) LOL
My question is the same. I thought for some reason there was a wedding DVD coming soon after the business DVD. Maybe I got this wrong. I was hoping for a wedding DVD too. Does this contain the wedding content or is that a separate DVD? Please clarify. THX!
Hey I’m interested in knowing the price and how I can purchase this dvd. Cheers
Because you can’t just sit in your comfort zone at the stream that’s by your house and hope to reel in any real catch to make money. To get the big catch and plenty of it, you have to go out to where they are and fight for them. For that, you need professional tools and professional help/direction and know how to find the fish and catch them. It takes a team of people to catch volume of quality fish to bring in serious money. Same concept with brides. OR, the cover could mean to take potential clients to sea and tell them to sign on the dotted line or else they have to swim back home.
@ Abraham – 🙂 Yes, the last answer! The Wedding Crash Course will be a completely separate DVD set- There was too much information to cover everything I wanted to about Business and Weddings on one DVD set, so we split it into 2 projects. The Wedding Photography Crash Course Set should come out sometime next year, and should also run about 7-8 hours.
I knew it! J/K … I cannot wait for these DVDs to come out! Your DVDs are always top notch. I just can’t believe you’re selling them for such low prices. The information on them is worth exponentially more. But, pretend I didn’t just say that. Thanks for all your hard work, Michael!
I was referring to your other DVDs, such as the APT DVD – worth exponentially more than its price tag. But, I agree completely with your statement! What I like most about you Michael, is your honesty. At least, that’s how you come across to me through your DVDs and blog (since we’ve never met). And what I mean by that is, I trust that you’re not just putting fluff on your DVDs and calling it a product, like many people do out there. Keep up the awesome work… And sign me up for this bad boy DVD! =) I hope deep-sea fishing is not part of the exercises in order to learn this material because that’s a no can do for me; I’d be throwing up the whole time… =)
Looking forward to adding this to my MA Crash Course Collection Michael! Fishers Of Men – Fishers of the right clients. Will be great timing over the winter months 😀
Fishing pole? If you don’t change the bait now and then you will always keep getting the same fish/customer
Looking forward to the DVD Michael. Nashville was a blast going back soon with my family!
please send me details on how to order this DVD… BIG thanks.
Man Michael, I am 1 hour into your Speedlite DVD and damn is it good! The lighting information is priceless to me in itself. Plus I love how happy you get when you nail a scene. Glad you leave those in and dont cut away. Cant wait to finish it.
