Photographers: How are you growing your business in 2013?

Would you like to win over $15,000 in prizes to grow your photography business in 2013?

PhotoShelter is making that possible with their Jump Start contest. The competition is open to members only, but whether you’re a PhotoShelter member or not—or whether you’re a photographer or not—they are asking some very important questions on the entry form that everyone should answer:

1. Please list three ways you grew your business in 2012

2. List three ways you plan to grow your business in 2013

The act of answering these questions alone can help you grow your business in 2013 (even if you don’t win $15,000). If you’re a PhotoSheleter member, enter the contest here. If you’re not, answer these questions in the comments below.

And if you’re looking for another way to grow your business, the 2013 Creative Professionals Marketing Plan + eCalendar will guide you through one important marketing task each day.

There are lots of great chances like this out there is you just take the time to search for them. This is a good find.

I agree those are very good questions - I often find the smaller businesses steam on and forget to take time out to actually think about the bigger picture. Where they want to go and what their objectives are.

Thanks for sharing.
