Get the hell off Facebook. And Twitter. And LinkedIn.
That’s right, everyone else is telling you how important social media marketing is and I’m telling you to stay the hell away.
You wanna know why?
Because you are not ready to market. You should be reading, studying and practicing your skills.
Facebook is a time-sucker. So much so, that I think a gurgling drain recording should loop constantly in the background.
If you JUST. CAN’T. HELP. YOURSELF, get an internet blocking program. I have tried this and highly recommend it:
FREEDOM. You can set it to block your internet access from 45 minutes to 8 hours. It’s available in both Mac and PC versions and is quite affordable at $10. You can even download a free trial version and try it out five times before it stops working.

Hey! What are you still doing here? Get back to work!
Big follower of the blog, a variety of your writes have really helped me out. Looking forward to posts!
Thanks William!
Hi Christine,
I was given the link to your Wootness website from the Masters of Photography FB page. I am very impressed with your approach and frankness. I have been a photographer for over 40 years and I preach the same message to my students, peers and sometimes to wanabees. Thank you for your contribution and passion. I have just one suggestion.
The title should be “The big Girls and Boys Guide to starting a photography business. You website works for all of us!
Thanks again,

Hello Tim – Thank you for your comments. I must say how humbled that I am that you took the time to check the site out and comment. I hope to join the ASP next year (I am receiving my last merit needed for the Craftsman requirements on Monday). My dream is to someday be a fellow. I appreciate your input on the title – men are surely welcome here – I’ll do a little tweaking on the title. Thank you so much and please stop back and share the site with others!
That is some of the best advice I have seen in a long time. You get so wrapped up in all the drama. I’ve been really trying to just post some of my recent sessions and that is it. Have to get back to managing my business.
Thanks Kristin!
