So.. in addition to our current stuff on maximizing findability....

Let's talk about how you are using the Social Web to enhance your visibilty and get customers.

I'm on <a href="http://twitter.com/awilliamsny">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Andy_Williams/500035234">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/awilliamsny">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/moonriverphotography">MySpace</a&gt; and <a href="http://friendfeed.com">FriendFeed</a>.

In fact, it pays off... Just got this via friendfeed:

... wrote about this photo on Jul 5th
[8:14pm] "Awesome photo Andy! Really great firework capture! Found this from your FriendFeed and I'm so glad I did. Excellent work!"

I know some Senior Shooters that freely promote the use of some images on their clients' myspace and facebook pages.... they make it part of the deal.

So, what are you doing? :ear

    Great ideas, Andy!

    I have been using my blog to promote my site. Joined a few blogging communities and am getting more and more exposure for my work.

    A couple of my photos and stories have been sydicated through some big name newpapers.

    A lot of work but so worth it!

    I finally kicked myself into gear to get onto some of the sites you listed. I also use deviantART and placed a few things on Flickr because it doesn't seem to be going away. We'll see how the traffic is.

    And being on Flickr just paid off! wings.gif
    I have just seen an image of yours on Flickr of a landscape taken at
    Glengorm, Isle of Mull Scotland. I think it looks great! ... I would like to know what images you have that were taken at Glengorm and how much you would charge for us to use them for web / print and possibly postcards for sale in our farm shop?
