First, by social networking, I mean using Facebook, we’ll discuss those other methods (mainly Twitter) sometime later on.
I created a Facebook page for my photography quite awhile ago, but never really promoted to anyone other than my real-life friends. Recently, I made the decision to try to get more people at “fans” of my photography and added a “club link” on my photoblog.
Check out the Behind the Lens to get an idea on what I have done.
Here’s what I have in an attempt to get folks to become fans,
- I am offering discounts on select images on my photoblog, to all my fans,
- Releasing special limited edition prints only on Facebook.
- And believe it or not, I will even add you to my Christmas card list!
My goal is to simply promote my photography in another channel. My opinion is the more eyes on my work, the better chances I have to sell some work.
NOTE: I am pretty happy with the results so far. I don’t get a ton of traffic to my photoblog properly due to any number of reasons, but I have managed to add two new fans already! I will keep you all updated on my progress.
Anyone else have any ideas on promoting your photoblog through social networks?
