Things Are Looking Up

41/365: Things Are Looking Up
Originally uploaded by Ame Otoko

I am about two and a half months into my online photography sales experiment and I must say, it is quite a learning experience. I think the area of greatest learning for me is online marketing. For example, I could probably make better use of my blog, but on the other hand, I realize my readership is probably smaller than the audience for Dick Cheney in “A Streetcar Named Desire”.

To date, I have created a Facebook Business page, which has generated a moderate amount of interest (at least among my friends, which is a start!) and last week I finally figured out how to get the search engines to spider my gallery, so hopefully that leads to some hits and sales. I also occasionally give away small prints to my friends printed on metallic paper. The metallic paper is so awesome, that once someone actually sees a metallic print, they will need to buy more (well, that’s my experiment anyway).

Visit my gallery - I’ve added many photos in the past couple months!
