Scott from Tin House Studio has an interesting thought on why you aren’t getting your ideal client and has some suggestions in this video on how you can change that.

A recent study by Campaign Monitor found that email marketing provides the highest ROI for small businesses.

Being Mr. Green
I get a lot of emails from people asking how I manage to bring in so many new clients as well as keeping the ones I have to build my business.
One thing that I wanted to share here is the basics of how you might view winning a client and the actual reality of things from the client’s perspective.
To be successful, you need to be able to give your clients what they want; you may perceive that to be a set of amazing images. However, just doing that is not going to get you across the line.
