Unique Newborn Beanbags 04/18/2011
 I recently came across a unique newborn prop by TAOPAN. It is a set of 7 bean bags filled with soft micro beads and the best material around. Bags are very soft and easily fits in the crooks and crevices to support the tiniest of babies. They are completely waterproof. These tiny bags are used in conjunction with a larger bean bag or poser. They are packaged in an easy to carry tote bag which is very convenient for photographers who work on location. The bean bags are easy to use and really do help position the baby. For more information or do order click here for the TAOPAN newborn beanbags Go Grab a Copy of the Web Marketing Guide 04/13/2011
As photographers, getting our work noticed is the first order of business. Whether your online presence is used to sell images, promote a photographic studio, or increase exposure for your photography, gaining traffic and enriching your internet presence is a must if you want to be successful. A few weeks ago I was asked to review a new ebook release, Web Marketing Guide by Zach Prez. Since I had reviewed some of Zach’s previous books , I was excited to read his latest work. As a veteran web marketing consultant for many influential photography websites and companies, Zach Prez has an unique ability to speak authoritatively on a topic in easy to understand terms. Photography Web Marketing Guide is divided into 4 majors areas: Design – Web design and usability essentials
Photography Web Marketing Guide is a very informative aid for both, new website owners and established publishers. Zach did an excellent job of cutting out the fluff and getting straight to the point on key topics important for every photography site owner. The guide is designed with plenty of graphics and loads of links to additional tools and references. While I still love Photographer’s SEO Book for it’s focus on SEO specific topics, I found Photography Web Marketing Guide to be a perfect choice for site owners looking for helpful tips touching all the key areas of web marketing.
