Making Personal Marketing Work

In a recent chat with my wife, we touched on the topic of advertising, particularly my penchant for promoting myself.

In essence, I am the product – my hands cradle the camera, and every image bears the mark of my own craftsmanship.

I find satisfaction in my skills, experience, and the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, especially in the realm of computer and camera proficiency.

For me, personal marketing isn’t a vice; it’s a necessity. Shamelessly, I seize every chance to showcase what I bring to the table.

Consider this: If you owned a retail store or had an exhibition showcasing your product, would you conceal everything and hope customers inquire? Certainly not! You’d proudly exhibit your offerings, eagerly informing anyone within earshot about the product’s features, capabilities, and the advantages it bestows upon those who choose to make it their own.

Personal marketing, in my view, follows the same principle. It’s about unabashedly presenting what I bring to the creative table, ensuring that anyone who passes by understands the value I offer.

In a world where attention is a precious commodity, asserting your presence isn’t just beneficial; it’s crucial.

I’ve adopted the mindset that personal marketing isn’t just about selling a product; it’s about telling a story, about sharing the passion and dedication that goes into every photograph I capture.

So, I’ll continue to embrace the art of self-promotion, knowing that in doing so, I’m not just advertising myself; I’m telling the world a visual tale of skill, experience, and unbridled enthusiasm.
