Check out my 20 Questions interview with this months LA SMUG guest speaker, Jim Brammer

Jim Brammer is the special guest speaker at this month's Los Angeles SmugMug User Group (SMUG) meeting.

SMUGs are free meetings open to all photographers.

Jim will be giving the presentation…
From Zero to Hero – How to Brand, Market and Grow Your Photography Business

As a photographer, you probably have the creative/artistic side of the business nailed – right? If you're shooting great work and your clients love it, what more do you need? Well – if you are as busy as you want to be, then maybe that's all you really need. On the other hand, if you'd like to get busier this is the program for you!

In his former life, Jim Brammer was a sales and marketing executive for a blue chip technology company. After retiring in 2007, Jim decided to pursue his passion for photography. By extending his corporate sales and marketing experience to his fledgling photography business, Jim got his photography business up and running in two short years. In 2009 Jim was honored with the 2009 Small Business of the Year Award by the Woodland Hills – Tarzana Chamber of Commerce, and the 2009 Readers' Choice Award from the Los Angeles Daily News.

Jim's "From Zero to Hero" program explores the business of professional photography from a marketing and sales perspective. You will learn about

branding – it's much more than simply coming up with a name for your business
marketing – once you've got the brand, how do create awareness of the brand in your community?
growing – as your brand becomes known in the community, how do you turn "mind share" into "market share"?

Get ready for solid, actionable advice and step-by-step tips and techniques on how to brand your business, attract clients and maximize sales opportunities.
