Even a novice with only a little bit of understanding of how the marketing and business aspects of life work, will find this book easy to understand. Its stragit forward approach with real life examples and situations makes me understand it and look back on the information for later.The price of the book with the photographers market 2005 book makes it a deal!

This book offers sound practical advice that will help you take your business to the next level. Sure... you may be a great photographer, but effective marketing will get your work in front of the right people.This book will help you achieve this goal. I occasionally re-read it and it's invaluable.

I really like this book a lot, and would recommend it to ANYone who is interested in learning more about photography marketing; more specifically, the different types of marketing.It's written by a marketing specialist who works with photographers on marketing their own businesses. As a result, the book doesn't have many pictures, or a very interesting layout, but then again, it is a marketing book. I liked the testimonials given by professional photographers. They were very pertinent to the information provided, and gave the book more depth and application to real-life situations.I would like this book a bit better if I were more interested in marketing, or if it made marketing sound a little more fun. It also wouldn't have hurt to add more photographs and color to the book. I'm a visual learner, and I think that may have helped me.

This book sounds like a sales person yelling in your ear. The author is NOT an experienced photographer, nor does the author offer any resonable, useful tips. Very outdated material also, from 1995-1999! Its not helpful for the serious digital or medium format photographer or even for an amateur. Its simply a waste of money. has better books for serious photographers for sure.

There are a number of books of this kind that deal with promoting photographers in the digital realm. This book is quite strong in using advertising as a tool, direct and e-mail marketing and promotional pieces.

The Photographer's Guide to Marketing & Self-Promotion is a winner and appears in its fourth updated edition offering an excellent guide to self-promotion. The focus is upon a marketing plan that blends self-promotion, advertising and direct marketing: it's been updated to include tips on using social media and email and tells how to create an effective website as well. Over twenty in-depth interviews with top photographers back the how-to details.
