Build a brand<br />

Branding is important and keeps people recognizing your work. Choose a<br />

brand name or a pseudonym. There are too many photographers out there<br />

with their real name. It even makes your URL too long. I chose 85mm and still<br />

like it, although I don’t shoot with 85mm at the moment. When I get a full<br />

frame camera, this may change. But I keep it and still use it, as I have chosen it<br />

at that time.<br />

Conclusion<br />

This chapter got much longer than expected, which shows that there is a lot of<br />

potential on how you should go about marketing your product. You better<br />

start today thinking about it and get some kind of concept on how you want<br />

to improve your product with the help of marketing. I nearly forgot to mention<br />

that there is also the Vivian Maier approach. You don't publish, you don't<br />

care about marketing and you will get famous after you die. Also a way of<br />

working…<br />
