It has been my ultimate goal to get my website http://weddingbyphoto.com perfected. I’ve worked on my website, adding new features such as flash, scrolling images, and interactive buttons. I’ve booked weddings, but it is my hope that these features will attract more clients. I’ve scheduled weddings for New Years Eve, and a couple in 2009, but I am still waiting for more business this year. I feel it is too late in the year, since the wedding season is coming up and everyone has their photographer. I still have hopes that someone last second will ask me to shoot their wedding, or maybe another photographer will drop out, or maybe I will get a last second lead. Not many as of now though. I’ve even started expanding my wedding photography services outside of Riverside CA into San Bernardino and Orange County, but like I said very little is coming in.
Lately I’ve also been working on getting my name out. All my previous business has gone by word of mouth, and now I am waiting for online sources to work. In Google local, I’ve jumped up from 50th to 6th in two weeks. In Google search engines I went from the 100’s to 56 to 13 today. With Yahoo I am still working on getting better placement. I opened accounts in all major Yellow Books, and Superpages. I created new accounts through wedding photography sources. My favorite is WedPlan.net . They offer leads for free, and allow you a place to show off your photos in a gallery. I have also opened accounts with Eventective and Decidio. I suggest them for other wedding photographers.
I am still hoping and waiting for business in these present months, but I guess I will have to wait a while. If someone hears this and is in the need for a wedding photographer, just visit my website that I mentioned. I am willing to travel!
