Taking good photos is one thing, marketing and selling those photos is whole other kettle of fish. To succeed on the business side of photography shutterbugs need an internet presence. How do you know what you doing right or wrong? How do you improve your traffic and ultimately your sales? Analyze your web statistics.
Photoshelter has released Google Analytics for Photographers, a free downloadable ebook to help photographers make sense of the vast array of Google Analytics stats. The kit will help answer these questions:
- Am I spending money and resources on the right kinds of Internet marketing?
- Am I featuring the best possible images on my homepage?
- Where is my website traffic coming from and how do I make more of it?
- Are my website visitors bailing out before I can hook them in?
- Is my blog helping to drive the right visitors to my photos?
- What are my clients actually viewing when they visit?
PhotoShelter CEO Allen Murabayashi is holding live webinars to explain the kit.
