Welcome to the Monday Mashup – your week in review for all things Photographers Connection!
While you were busy jamming out to the new Michael Jackson song featuring Justin Timberlake (I am so obsessed, words can’t even begin to explain how much I love that song!) we were busy helping one member get over the agony of having a client edit her images, welcoming a bunch of new Kickin’ Auto students, showing you what plugins you’ve gotta have on your website, and reminding you that backing up your files is one chore that you can’t neglect! Didn’t step away from the stereo long enough to check in with us? You’re in luck- we’re here to fill you in on all that awesomeness you may have missed last week!
SOCIAL MEDIA STORY OF THE WEEK
It isn’t about how big your studio space is, it’s about how creative you are! Work that small space as well as Sarah does, and clients will be banging down your door! Check out this great tutorial!
ON THE BLOGGITY BLOG LAST WEEK
- The questions being submitted to Ask Kim are seriously off the chain! Last week, a member shared her recent horror story and posed an important question: what on earth do you do when a client edits your images? Hint: prevention is your best game plan!
- Do plugins and widgets have your head spinning? Mine too! Luckily, we have Anna to help us with all our website related headaches, er, I mean, questions!! What would we do without her?! Check out the five plugins you need to get on your website!
- If you don’t backup your images, promise you’ll change that, STAT! Take a look at how I backup my images, and avoid that vomit inducing feeling you get when you realize you’ve lost your clients images! I can’t even imagine that nightmare…
BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU SO…
When your business is a one person show, it can be a little boring. Silence can kill a creative mood in no time flat! Next time you find yourself at your computer in need of something to entertain your ears, check out the PC Jam Session on Spotify! It’s free to use, and you’ll be able to listen to music that other members have added. You can even add your own! Click here and fly through that editing session like an eagle!
Hold the phone! We have one more fun way to get your creative juices flowing, check out Coffitivity, a free site that brings the sounds of your favorite coffee shop right to your computer! I’m totally obsessed!
BEHIND THE SCENES – YOUR ALL ACCESS PASS
Thanks to all our future masters of manual for making the latest Kickin’ Auto launch a great one! Whoo-hoo!
We’re done launching courses until the fall, and are focusing on making changes to the website and other things behind the scenes to make PC even more valuable to photographers like you! We’ve decided that after we unveil all these changes, we’re going to take a one week trip to a deserted island where we don’t have to see a single computer. You’ll be on your own that week. Just kidding, though it sure sounds tempting!
Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting photo challenge that will be posted Friday! The winner will score a brand spankin’ new camera bag!
