Marketing Yourself Using Photos

I speak at many events throughout the U.S., and it can be difficult to have photos taken during my presentation, but it’s not impossible.

Not only is it important for you, as a solo business owner, to market yourself by speaking at events, it’s also critical to document the engagement through photographs.

You travel alone, so who will take pictures? Turn first to a person in the audience whom you know well and is there to support you. Make sure that your host approves of photography at the facility. If you don’t know anyone attending the event whom you can trust with your camera, ask your host or one of their associates to snap some shots during your presentation.

The bottom line is that you need photographic documentation to continue marketing your products and services in print and on the Web. Digital cameras are very affordable today. Consider purchasing one, if not already available, as a business investment.

Shirley,

In the rush of preparing for an event it’s easy to forget to document with pictures. When I know I’ll be attending an event without my assistants I set my camera up on a tripod and set the timer to take a few shots of me before or after the event with some of the attendees. You just have to be sure to properly determine where you need to stand to be fully in camera.

Thanks for this important reminder.
