Proof Of Blogging!!

I had a fantastic wedding this weekend and emailed the bride a link to view her "sneak peek" on my BLOG (I use xanga for my primary blog). As of 5:30p.m. today I have had 245 hits to my blog! Since I am using xanga I can see where my footprints are coming from, and the majority of them are coming from an email in-box!! That tells me that my bride forwarded the link on to her friends and family like I invited her to do!! I am really curious to see what my footprints are later tonight! They say that Mondays are the number one traffic day for reading blogs, and couple that with the fact that I had a fabulous bride this weekend, I am really not suprised at the traffic!! (normal traffic for me is about 200 hits a day!)

Heading to Iowa!

I will be speaking to the NW Iowa Professional Photographers Association on Monday 10a.m.-2p.m. It will be held at Creative Photography in Milford, IA. A big thank-you to Dave Petrick, the president of the group, for helping line everything up for me, and a HUGE thank you to WHCC for sponsoring me!!! I am driving down this afternoon, in hopes of capturing some images along the way. I am really excited, this will be my first 4 hour program, so wish me luck!

Convention was GREAT!

I just returned from the Northern Lights Convention in Fargo and it was a great time! I gave my program twice on Tuesday, I had about 20 people in the first session and 60 in the second session. I got a lot of really great feedback, which was so cool. I will be giving my program in NW Iowa on Monday, May 12th, if you're in the area please come on out and join me!

Be Sure TO Check Out The Northern Lights Convention!

Convention is almost upon us once again! Be sure to join me in Fargo this weekend for the NL Convention. I will be giving an "Early Bird" program on Tuesday at 7 and 8 a.m. I will also be rolling out my top secret Buzz Experience, so you won't want to miss it!! See you there!

Need help getting started with blogging??

I have decided to create a package for my fellow photogs that are interested in getting their blog, facebook, and myspace set up but just don't know where to begin!

For $295 you will receive a 90 minute private session with ME, and 2~15-minute follow up phone conversations. This should be all you need to get on your way to social networking!!

I have found that I get a lot of blank stares when I speak on blogging and a LOT of emails and questions afterwards. There are a lot of folks out there who really do want to start blogging but are feeling quite overwhelmed with the whole prospect of putting the time and energy into getting it started. I have found that once people have the system in place, they will continue with it and keep it current, but there's a lot of hesitation to get it started. I see an opportunity to help others and this is what I have come up with!

If you're interested in scheduling your private session, please contact me 952.233.2169
