By: Zenologue Photography Business & Marketing "The most common question I get is how to start a photography business," says photography business coach Nigel Merrick, http://twitter.com/ That difference that separates the wannabe professional photographer from the true professional is thinking like a businessperson instead a photographer trying to make money through their photography. To help with this transition, Merrick identified the "Six Pillars Of Success" that form a solid foundation on which to build a successful business. These six pillars are: ♦ Mindset ♦ Positioning ♦ Marketing ♦ SEO ♦ Sales ♦ Client relationships "These six areas are designed to work in harmony," explains Merrick, "putting the would-be photography professional on an upward spiral to owning a successful business. As it turns out, making a living as a professional photographer has nothing to do with the quality of the equipment, or how good the photographer is with PhotoShop, for example." There's a great 7-part series of articles that explain these principles in a lot more detail on the Zenologue website at http://www.zenologue.com/ Watch this short video, explaining the six pillars of success in more detail at http://www.youtube.com/ ### About Nigel Merrick & Zenologue Photography Business and Marketing Nigel Merrick is a professional photographer, business coach, and author of the popular Zenologue Photography Business & Marketing blog.
