How to Find Your Niche For Selling in Photography
January 26th, 2010In a previous article of mine I mentioned the fact that personal photographs do not sell. That is photographs of weddings and family occasions or some other family or friends event; even when they are well taken.
This begs the questions of what type of photograph sells? Research is very necessary, but it is not the only way. Research is required to define your market, but what if the market was looking for polar bears. Are you going to travel to the ice lands in anticipation of meeting a polar bear? Then are you hoping to take its picture, and get away before it eats you? No, I don’t think so. Yes do your research to get a feel for the subject, but there are other, easier ways of defining a photographing niche for yourself.
First you need to think closer to home; in fact look closer within yourself. What is it that you like? Where do you like going? What do you like to do? Answer those questions and you will be on your way to finding your own particular niche. Could it be that simple? Yes take my word for it, I will now explain.
As I do not know you, I will tell you how I found my own particular niche. I have lived in the South West of Scotland most of my life. I love the sea, and the ships, and I am a great fan of water sports. I also like the country side, and I love wildlife. I like these things because they represent me and who I am. I do not live in a city, so to take photographs of magnificent city buildings I would have to travel, and find the time and money to get there. Once in a city, I would not feel comfortable, and I would not enjoy it. I prefer the sea in all her “moods”, except when I am in a boat. I like the country side because it is only yards from my house. I know nothing else, so why waste that knowledge and experience.
Coming from Scotland, I take it for granted, and you maybe surprised to hear that I am not impressed by it, particularly when it rains; it rains constantly. In fact, the only way we know summer from winter is by the temperature of the rain. Now since I started communicating globally on the internet, I soon found out that most people have different view points of Scotland. I found people like to see the green fields, the wild life, the history, the quaintness of it, because they had nothing to compare it with. Coupled with good solid research, I changed my attitude and started taking photographs of Scotland at its best, and these photographs are appreciated. In fact I still find it hard to accept that they are so much in demand.
Some times we just cannot see the wood for the tress. There is no way I would have thought that my own backyard was requested, but it is. I therefore have absolutely no doubt, that wherever you live in the world, there will be many aspect to your region that are worldly unique, and appreciated by others who live in totally different climates. Here then then is your starting point for taking serious photographs.
Take that one stage further, what are your hobbies? If you are interested in a hobby, the chances are that others are interested in that same hobby also. Unless it is a hobby that is local to your region, you will find that most hobbies’ travel globally and hereby can be a second niche you can concentrate on.
Do you like to travel? Well most of us do, but most of us travel on vacation only. When you travel to your holiday destination, you will probably like taking photographs. When I go to London, say, I take photographs like everyone else. In fact everybody and their dog that travels to London takes photographs, including the dog.
What makes you unique is you. It would be your interpretation of London that would be different from everyone else’s. Only through your eyes could you take a picture that would sell. It is the individual in you that determines the angle and quality of the shot. If your interpretation was tuned into the buyers market then you would make a fortune doing what you would be doing anyway.
Everybody has there own uniqueness, and it is that distinctiveness that determines the ensuing photograph. Your interpretation of an image will be different to every other photographer. In fact, because you are new to an area, you are putting a fresh interpretation onto an image. Now as long as the quality of your photographs are good enough, your interpretation has every chance of being accepted.
Do you think it is only the local pro’s who can take a good quality photograph of your holiday destination? You will therefore have to question that question. If, for example, I were to see an excellent photograph of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in London, how would I know whether it was taken by a local Londoner or a simple tourist like you and me? The chances are that it would be taken by a tourist. Ok maybe a tourist on a mission, but a tourist anyway.
I have now mentioned three niches that you could specialize in. Your locale; your hobbies; and you holiday destination. I do not know about you, but these three niches are all I need and all I will ever need. I have thought about going into micro photography, macro photography, still photography, sports photography, etc etc, but why bother. There are more subjects 20 miles from my front door than I can exhaust in a life time.
If you cannot see this about yourself, you need a shake. Start by making a list of everything in your area that you can photograph. This list will start short, but if you keep adding to this list as time get on; it is going to be a hell of a long list. You will find that there are so many things you can photograph, only a few miles from your house. So you should be encouraged by your three local niches, once you have given them some thought; and by the way, your excitement shows in the overall quality of your photographs so start enjoying your local area, and it will start enjoying you!

Selling Your Business? Seven Mistakes to Avoid
January 24th, 2010Selling Your Business?
Seven Mistakes To Avoid
Entrepreneurship is alive and well in America and independently owned businesses are the backbone of our country. Some of us will find, at some point, a reason and need to sell our privately held business. Since this is an extremely important financial transaction for the business owner, there are some vital concepts that can make that transaction more successful for a seller and a buyer. Here are some tips, learned the hard way.
1. Refrain from telling your employees the company is for sale. People are sometimes fearful of change and the thought that a stranger will purchase the business creates unfounded fear that their jobs may be in jeopardy. It is more humane to alert the employees of the sale only after the closing has taken place and the check clears. Why rock the boat before then? What if the business doesn’t sell?
2. Hire the appropriate experts to assist you as a team to sell your business. These would include your attorney and your CPA. It would be my advice to hire the services of a professional business broker or mergers and acquisitions specialist to lead you through the process. You, as the owner, have enough on your plate running the day to day operation of your business. Let someone else handle the qualification of potential buyers. They can weed out the inevitable tire kickers, lookers and various characters that may darken your door asking for your proprietary and sensitive business information.
3. And, while on the subject of proprietary and sensitive information, it’s now time to discuss the subject of a Confidentiality Agreement. Do not give out any information without a signed Confidentiality Agreement. Most buyers have been exposed to these agreements and are accustomed to the fact they must sign this document preventing them from disclosing the fact that your business is for sale or using your sensitive information for any purpose other than to analyze the business for a possible purchase.
4. Schedule buyer meetings when the employees are not present. The only exception to this is if you normally tour strangers through your business and have a private secure office in which to meet. Ideally all buyer meetings should take place after hours or offsite. We may think employees don’t know what’s going on, but we are usually wrong. If an employee finds that the company may be for sale, he or she may start looking for another job, purely in self defense. To a buyer, one of the main reasons to buy an existing business is the asset of having experienced knowledgeable employees in place.
5. A complete package of information should be compiled that would enable a buyer to make a decision. The very minimum documents to include would be three years tax returns, year to date profit and loss statements and balance sheets, an asset list and a copy of the lease. If the building and property are included in the offering, include a copy of the site plan of the property with building dimensions. Have these items copied and in a file to hand to your business broker or the buyer at the first meeting.
6. Take a hard, objective look at your business premises. If there is dirty carpet, dingy walls in need of paint or clutter on the floor, remedy that prior to any meetings with your broker or a buyer. It will be a financial boon to you to have the place looking neat and clean. When a buyer enters your offices and building, he is envisioning himself coming to work there and wants to be proud of his purchase. You may want to ask a friend to also look objectively at your premises. I once had a very wise seller who redecorated his private office by putting in a new mahogany desk, nice art work and thick, lush carpet prior to putting his company on the market. He also enhanced the showroom, making it very attractive, clean and new. The buyer walked in the front door and was very impressed. But he absolutely fell in love with the seller’s office and bought the business.
7. Yes, you created this fabulous business. You deserve credit for that. However, it is important to convey that you have faith in the ability of a buyer to carry the ball after the sale and successfully continue the company’s success. I once had a buyer and seller meeting on a large company that started out very well. These purchasers had the perfect background and training, the right capital requirements and the motivation. At the end of our meeting, the buyer asked the seller. “You have owned this business for a long time. What will happen when someone else new takes over?” The seller replied, without skipping a beat, “I’ll tell you what will happen! This business will go right down the tubes without me!”
After a stunned silence, our perfect buyers politely got up and left the room, never to be seen again.
The above recommendations are based on true life experiences of what can and has gone very wrong in the sale of a business. With a professional team on board, your business sale should go very smoothly.
Tips to Help Sell Your Home During a Recession
January 24th, 2010Are you struggling to sell your home because your housing market is in a recession? Don’t feel overwhelmed if your house has been on the market for several months with no buyers. There are many people across the United States that are facing the same problems your are. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure you sell your house during the recession. Alleviate as many concerns a buyer may have. Buyers often have many concerns when purchasing a house including closing cost, realtors cost, and home inspections just to name a few. By eliminating as many of these as possible it will help you chances of closing the real estate deal. Here are some key elements to helping put your potential buyer’s minds at ease. -Have your house inspected by a certified home inspector. -If you are not on a city water supply have your septic tank inspected. -Gather any existing warranties on home appliances that will be sold with the house. Another great way to entice buyers is to throw something extra in with the house. Houses built on lakes or canals often come with boats of jet skis, this will give your house a differential advantage over other houses in your neighborhood. Cars trucks and RV’s have also been noted to be sold with houses on several occasions. Get an idea of what other houses of similar size and style are selling for in your neighborhood. Also look for similar house that have sold within the last 2 months this will give you a better idea of the current market value of your home. After deciding what your house is worth, decide what sale price you are willing to let the house go for. Since it is a buyers market you may want to give a 3-5% discount off the market value of your home. This will give you a competitive edge over other houses in your neighborhood. It’s no secret that buyers are in the market for a green home. Installing water saving toilets and appliances can help to sway buyers to pay more because of money that will be saved later on. A water saving or dual flush toiletcan save a family of 4 as much as 15,000 gallons of water a year over a conventional toilet. Upgrading windows and doors to be more energy efficient will also help when selling your home. Another selling point for homes is luxury appliances. Hot tubs have been helping to selling homes for the last twenty years or so, however there are new better luxury appliances on the market. Whirlpool bathtubs have become common place in the master bathroom so buyers are looking for a master bath with at least a whirlpool bathtub. There have been many innovations in luxury appliances over the last 10 years. Whirlpool bathtubs now have built in features like air massage jets, fm radio, television monitors and more. Steam showers are another Luxury appliance that has stormed the bathroom remodeling industry. Modular steam showers cost between two and five thousand dollars and can be installed in under a day. These are a great replacement for standing shower stalls and are what potential buyers are looking for. Selling your house during a recession doesn’t have to mean that you loose out. Carefully following this advice will help to maximize the profitability of your house, and also eliminate many of the buyers concerns and wants when looking to by a new home.

Bill of Sale: Choosing the Best Form to Sell Your Car
January 23rd, 2010There seems to be a trend to get out of debt and sell one of the cars. People like Dave Ramsey are attracting millions to their radio talk shows with the main subject being “becoming debt free.” Getting out of debt often means selling the car that is depreciating faster than you can say Blue Book. Just with a few hours preparation, one can earn many thousands of dollars more by selling retail rather than wholesale through a dealer. Selling retail means selling it yourself. Take pictures and post your ad on www.craigslist.org for free or close to free. Next, prepare for success with a great Bill of Sale Form. This is more important than you may think. By the way, more and more people are buying from individuals because they find that the least expensive way to own a car is to buy it used from an individual. Even though the seller usually provides the form, if you are the car buyer, then you may want to provide the bill of sale form to the seller for your own protection.When you go to a restaurant and receive a receipt, you are in a sense receiving a bill of sale for payment of your meal. This is the simplest kind with the most advanced kind being the one your attorney writes to sell a business or a home. The best and most expensive kind of bill of sale for selling your car is one written by your attorney. It is guaranteed to be tailor-made to your circumstances. But, perhaps you do not need a tailor-made suit from Saville Row in London. Perhaps one off the rack with a few alterations will do the trick. What is called boilerplate or standard bill of sale forms may be what you want.Go to the Internet and search on “bill of sale” or “bill of sale form.” You will find a thousand examples and most will work fine, however, we are here to talk about the best. We want to save you the time of an exhaustive search on Google.
Most of the “free” forms are worth what you pay for them. They are very simple and remind us of the restaurant receipt. They give little or no protection and your buyer could be scared out of the deal.
These forms are suggested minimum forms for each specific state. The states are doing a service to their citizens by suggesting forms. They may not give you the protection you desire. If you want more protection and you should, you will have to either go to your attorney or find forms with better protection. Some of these you will find below.
Why do people pay thousands of dollars more for a car from a dealer than from an individual? Because the dealer takes the fear out of the sale. The dealer will take a trade-in, give financing and smoothly run through the paperwork. You also want to have high quality paperwork so the buyer feels safe. Make sure you provide a bill of sale form that makes your buyer feel confident and secure. The form must be professional and look like something they would sign at a dealership. Otherwise they could get cold feet and change their minds and go to a dealer.
Many forms sold on the Internet are in PDF format. Some of these forms require ownership of PDF software in order to fill in the blanks. Most people own the free PDF software to read a file but they don’t own the software to edit a file. If you do not have this software, then buy the form in MS Word. It is important that the blanks be typed. If you hand write in the blank spaces then your form will not build confidence with the buyer.
If you are not used to working with legal forms then you may not be aware of using a Public Notary. These people are licensed by the state and their job is to validate signatures to legal documents. They check your identification, watch you sign, and then they date and sign the document and use an official seal. No one can say with any credibility that those signatures are forged. When selling a car, for the protection of all, signatures are notarized. The notary charges a small fee or your bank may let you use their notary for free. We would not recommend any forms without a space for a notary.
If you already own the car, then you will have the title. Signing the back of the title with an odometer statement is your bill of sale. Most likely, you don’t need a bill of sale from the Internet.
If you have a loan on your car, then you will want to use a special bill of sale form. You must pay off the loan, receive the title and sign over the title. Most buyers do not want to hand over money so you can pay off your loans unless you provide them with a form that gives them confidence to their ownership. This form should show the name of your loan company and an estimated time when you will receive the title and hand over the title to the new owner. Most people put 30 days, however we recommend that once you have cleared funds, that you wire them to the loan company and pay to have the title sent overnight. Get the transaction done as soon as possible. You don’t want delays.
An “as is” statement is very important for people selling their own cars. It basically says you are giving no guarantees. You do not want to have something major happen to the car a month after the sale and then have the buyer take you to court because she/he said you said everything was great. Let the dealers give warrantees with their higher sale prices. You want the “as is” statement on your bill of sale for your future safety.
Many states require an odometer statement and in fact have one on the back of the title. The odometer statement tells the buyer the amount of miles on the odometer. Not only should you have your signature notarized on this statement, you should have the buyers signature notarized. You want him to publicly agree with you for the miles statement.
Whenever I buy something on the Internet, I make sure there is contact information with a toll-free 800 number and a Satisfaction Guarantee Statement. I suggest when buying a Bill of Sale Form on the Internet, you use the same policy.
It’s a good idea to meet at your bank to sign paperwork and receive money. Ask for cash, wired funds, cashier’s check (be careful, some people are printing fraudulent cashier’s checks-call the bank. Use the number from the phone book, not the one on the check.), or a cleared personal check. Make sure all money is cleared before you sign the Bill of Sale. That is why you want cash, wired funds, or a cashier’s check—you want to sign the document while your buyer is with you and the funds instantly clear.Use a document with all of these safety features and you and your buyer will be happy and secure and you will see a smooth transaction with no worries for the future.For one of the only companies that meet all these features we recommend Best Bill of Sale.Kurt DuNard, The Exceptional Life Coach, is the author of EXCEPTIONAL LIFE: Living the Life You Were Meant to Live.

Time To Try Extreme House Selling
January 22nd, 2010Extreme House Selling a brilliant concept for the brave the type of who dares win individual with a thick skin and a willingness for a challenge.It is most definately for the confident extrovert and definitely not for the shy retiring individual uncomfortable in the limelight. So what is this new concept that excites me so much and does it work?
Extreme House Selling was borne out of desperation of the financial melt down that result in a declining housing market. Home sellers who refused to accept the status quo stood up rolled up their sleeves and got to work. This work ranged from creating local campaigns for there homes to adding extraordinary incentives to attract the elusive buyers. This action by home sellers is what I would describe as an exciting and growing trend the strategy of Extreme House Selling.
One of my client’s best selling author Jonathan Blain highlighted the concept by enticing buyers to his luxury cottage in Sothern England. The property which at its height had a price tag of £3 million pounds is now priced at £1,350,000 and being offered with a speed boat and luxury car. Mr Blains use of the concept has resulted in his luxury cottage receiving global media coverage from TV,Internet and newspapers and other publications.
I see Extreme House Selling as anything that is moral and legal that will give a property more exposure than the average home. So parading yourself naked outside your home to attract the local media may not be such a good idea. Most home sellers will offer huge incentives and an impressive drop is selling price. Some may create publicity about their homes at a local or national level.
It is not for everybody and this is the advantage as a seller can then stand out from the crowd. Stress seems to be a natural feature for the average frustrated house seller. This can be fuelled by the need to sell a property quickly. Extreme House Selling will work to relieve this stress. Pricing is still one of the most important factors and you must make sure you are beating the competition with your proposal
The down side of becoming an Extreme House Seller is that attracting attention to your home also means attracting negative comments. Everyone will have an opinion and if your a success you will no doubt attract people who will not like you or your home. Thick skin is required and it’s not a concept for wimps!
Ideas for extreme house selling are generated by the individual the level of activity is down to them. Many people and the media ask for examples of Extreme House Selling you will find them in your local paper or radio and TV show. Remember if you can do what everyone else is doing but at a better standard you are on your way to being an Extreme House Seller. The hard truth is there are no guarantees and your efforts may be a waste of time and money .I can guarantee being proactive rather than reactive will work wonders on your well being.
eBay Seller Opportunity Tip – Dont Miss The Boat
January 22nd, 2010Choices have to be made in life if you want to change the way you live and if others are doing this the Ebay way – then why not you.
Without doubt we all want the same things out of life and that being our health and money. Becoming an Ebay seller can give many folks the lifestyle they so much crave.
Ebay offers an opportunity to earn extra cash when it suits you. Unfortunately people shy away from the sheer thought of running their own business which is sad really. Hundreds of people are missing the boat by not looking into the Ebay opportunity that can change their whole way of life.
Becoming an Ebay seller is an option to be considered if you are seriously thinking on turning your life around. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain on top of the satisfaction of being your own boss.
If you have decided this is the route you are going to take to earn extra cash by becoming an Ebay seller then you have made a positive move in securing your future.
Remember to catch up on the basics on how to start selling by following the advice supplied by this most competitive market in the world.
Once up and running always treat your Ebay business as a business and conduct matters like a professional. Professionals in their Ebay empires are experts because they have had a lot more practice. So there is plenty of time to get to that stage. Never cut corners and operate on the cheap you are out to gain custom not lose it. Financial gains should be reinvested back into your business. This is how an Ebay seller will run his/her successful business.
When it comes down to promotional activities and advertising of your product/service you are sure of sales if done tastefully. Your product has to be described in the best descriptive way. Give your prospective customer a run down on every little detail on what you are selling this will make a huge impact on getting those sales.
Be friendly in your approach when dealing with potential buyers as you are looking for repeat orders. Try to simplify all correspondence like payment methods or even offer to help them if they are new and not sure of how things are done after winning an auction. Your customer will feel comfortable and begin to trust you as a worthy Ebay seller with your offer of assistance. Because of how you handled and conducted the sale along with your friendly approach just may have secured your self a regular customer.
Firstly start building up a reputable reputation – this will have your feedback scaling to enormous heights. People make judgement on the feedback scoring system of the Ebay Seller when buying. No matter how good your product and fabulous glossy photos appear – if feedback is poor say through lack of communication etc, then say goodbye to sales.
Remember by becoming an Ebay Seller there are rules and regulations that you have to adhere to. The rules are there for the safety of the buyer and seller. It is a good chance you may not like or agree with a number of them – but remember it is in every ones best interest why these rules have been implemented.
One of the nice things apart from meeting friends from all over the globe on Ebay is instead of being part of Ebay you now own a share with your very own business empire.
