I am going to start advertizing soon and I need some ideas. Here's the ones I have already..........
1. I'm going to Facey friend all these other photogs that have lots of friends and post a link to my site on their wall. But I'll pretend like I'm leaving a reg comment so they'll totes not notice I'm trying to steel there fans. Something like "OHEMGEE your piccies are uber adorbs!!!!!! Come check out my photography, it's a little cuter and way cheaper!!!!!! <post link>" Classy, right?
2. Tag all of my friends and all the photographers I know in every single piccie I post. Max exposure!!!!!!
3. Follow tons of blogs and twitters unrelated to photography and post my link in every comment I leave!!!!!
4. Send out postcards to everyone in my town. I have a design in mind already (yeah, my art skills are that bombtastic!!!!) it includes no piccies and no basic information about what I do. I want it to be like this commercial from the 80s guy that took over PlanEx.
5. Buy a Facey Ad and use my ToTeS aDoRbS slang and random capitalization to grab the attention of equally hip mommies!!!!!!
I TOTES forgot #6, it really was on my list, swear to Kim Cattrall!!!
6. CRAIGSLIST AD!!!!!!!! IN ALL CAPS, SO PEEPS CAN IMAGINE ME SCREAMING ABOUT MY AWESOME TALENT AND FEROSH DEALS!!!!!!!! I DONT THINK I'LL USE A PICCIE, BUT IF I DO, IT WILL BE THE WORST OUTTAKE OF MY VERY FIRST SHOOT EVER!!!!!!
What do you think??????????????????????????????
Gimme more ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You totes forgot about craigslist, girl! haha
ReplyDeleteOEMGEEE.... WIX.com for WaY classy and FREe (holla!) website!
ReplyDeleteHow about putting flyers on all the cars at the local Piggly Wiggly? I've gotten LOTS of great clients that way!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget watching other photogs facebooks constantly to see who they are doing pictures of then messaging their clients to tell them you could have done a WAYYYY better job! Or even better, anytime you see someone else taking pictures of some cutie pumpkins just stop by and take some piccies of your own!! Then when the client sees how your pics are totes better they will def buy prints from you and tell alllll of their friends!
ReplyDeleteGroupon! You must include Groupon in your advertizing schemies. Everyone noes that only the best of the besties use Groupon so you HAVE TO BE THERE TOO!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh :) thank you for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteIt must be really nice to have mommmy, daddy and now "hubby" give you whatever you want. Maybe that's why a)you sound like one of the dumbest "adult" i've ever heard of in my life b) think you can do whatever the hell you want (because everyone lets you since you have money) and c)make your clients (if you get any) pay a whopping ten dollars for your "professional" pictures. I wish I could have been a spoiled brat my whole life. Maybe one day by the grace of G-D I'lll be able to be just like you!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to be polite and give you some tips. There are very few people who are going to take you seriously if you didn't talk like a high school valley girl and stopped using lingo and started using "real" words. Pretend that everything you write is going to be submitted to the New York times or something that is written well and in a professional manner. If you go on wit your plan of harassing all of these blogs, twitters, etc. you will get your profile taken down for using the sites for harassment. Yes, flooding them with your information is considered a form of internet harassment. You might want to look into taking some actual classes at your community college or something. Then people would stop questioning just how professional you are. Really, you truly do come off sounding like a rich teenage bimbo in the way you write. These are all just ideas, but I'd be willing to bet that if you take these things not only into consideration but actually do them, you will get less negative comments.
Okay anonymous, like first, it totes IS nice to be loaded. You must be one of those poor peeps I here about on the news, and that's why ur so grouchy. *frownyface* well next time merry rich and you can be loaded like me, who's totes getting fame-fame on the internets! Also, if I were riting for the New York Times I for sure would rite just like I do now with my hip lingo. That place is probs full of old peeps so they need some jazzing up!!!!!!!!!!! And last, grace of gee hyphen dee or not, you'll never be as rockin as me cuz I can already tell that your grouchyness gave you premachur wrinkles. SO SAD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! *super big frownyface*
ReplyDeleteI'm not poor. I am not on the news. I would never marry for money, only for love. Yes, I was mean in the beginning, but then I was trying to help you. I will not stoop to your level and bicker over this. I offered help, and you aren't taking it. Also, I do not want or need your misplaced pity. You don't know me and I was trying to be nice and help you. Good luck with your business.

ReplyDeleteGood lord, talking about people with no sense of humor... I think this last anonymous person was about to have a coronary just by writing all that. Why people get like this over a blog that is just joking about all the things US the photographers complain about sometimes? seriously... do you get all worked up like this when you watch SNL? or some other show like that?
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable... relax and have a good laugh! or better yet, if this is causing you such pain don't read it at all!!
Anonymous, it's okay! This isn't real! It's a spoof of how some non-professional photographers think and act. I was confused at first, too, but once you know it's a joke, it's not nearly so painful to read. :)
ReplyDeleteHeeheeehee. I love this site so much. Thanks for the laughs! :)
ReplyDeleteOH-EM-GEE, ANONYMOUS (see, I'm TOTES using caps so you know I'm shouting at U because I think you must be STOOOPID & my talking LOUDER will help you understand).
ReplyDeleteGET A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Oh, and merry for money two, and you can be TOTES rich like my bestie Jane.
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE MEAN THIS ISNT REAL!?!
ReplyDeleteHow about learning how to spell? That might draw people in!
ReplyDeleteOh my gah, I can't believe people actually get anal over this! I haven't laughed this hard in a while, and Jane sweetie, thank you for your humor! I totes love this sight! **big smiley face**
ReplyDeleteOkay. That's it. I'm sticking to reading the posts. It hurts to read the comments.
