One of the things I did early this summer is find a great photographer to shoot my new product, the Joyful Business Guide (a creative business plan and system for women entrepreneurs). The company I found is very easy to use and talented. I was really surprised at how affordable they were. Thanks so much Robert -  The photos are gorgeous! (And thanks to Ali Brown, the ezine queen on the recommendation!)

If you have a product: CD set, cards, books, etc...I highly recommend that you get several great quality photos of your product. This really builds up your credibility as a professional. I am amazed at how many opportunities I have had to use them already. Obviously you'll use them on your website - and I've also used them on flyers, email inquires to the media, and emails to potential joint venture partners.  I also have a magazine review coming out and it was so easy to have my photos on hand for them to use!

Andrea Lee, who is well-known in the coaching industry and a leader in helping small business owners create "multiple streams of income", just wrote a blog posting about product photography and used the Joyful Business Guide as an example...read on....AndreaJLee.

Let me know how it goes!
