Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

So said the Rolling Stones in Time is on my side in 1964

Like you, I’m not sure time is on my side.

We’ve all been there – not enough time in the day to get everything done.

So I understand the complaint of “I don’t have time to learn how to take better pictures of my product or service”

But now it’s not about working harder or even time management (apparently that’s soo 20^thcentury!).

Now it’s about having the energy to do what’s needed.

So to help you I have a little read that will hopefully give you ideas on how to make the most of your time.

20 easy ways to find time to learn photography (or anything else!)

TIP:

Sticking to your priorities and limiting your decisions will give you more energy.

Been dazed and confused for so long it’s not true

Led Zeppelin sang this in (you’ve guessed it) Dazed and Confused in 1969.
They could have been singing about how most people feel when shopping for new electronic equipment these days.

A few months ago we bought a new TV and Stereo. The pain I went through trying to work out what features we needed to have, got me thinking about how difficult it must be for you to buy a new camera. It’s probably worse than buying a new TV!

So I’ve got a series going that hopeful will ease the pain of that rather painful process.

The first one is Why selecting a new camera is like selecting a new date (or TV).

Then I wrote The essential feature to have on your new camera

Whilst both these articles and the next couple are aimed at the new camera buyer – they may be worth a look even if you already have a camera (or just a smartphone).

Imagine no internet, I wonder if you can?

I wonder if *John Lennon was to write Imagine today whether this wouldn’t be an additional verse.

Hi there. I wanted to thank you for subscribing to this blog.

You would have noticed (or maybe not) that this site has been dormant since July last year and that’s because I’ve been working on other projects.

I have a commercial photography site nickkatin.com that’s aimed at helping business’s take, edit and post their marketing images, whether it be for social media, a website or in print.

It occurred to me that some of the audience for this site could looking for some of the information that is on that site.
After all, if you are a blogger then it’s more important than ever to ensure you have great images which I know you have but also know how to use them.

The thing is if you subscribe via wordpress.com to a wordpress.com site such as this, your email address remains hidden to the site owner who can only communicate by posting articles (blog posts).

So this is basically the text of the newsletter I send out to email subscribers of nickkatin.com. You can choose to subscribe at nickkatin.com to get the original newsletter and whilst there is no immediate need for you to do that there are some things that I can’t do in blog post that I can in a personalised newsletter
So what to expect?

Basically I’ll be providing info on how you can take and edit marketing images.
And then providing the how and why on what’s the best way to for you to get those images out there with your brand.

Now I don’t pretend to know it all!
Something I learnt long ago is that the day you think you know it all is actually the day you know nothing.

I figure that we are on this journey together. So it’s my duty to make sure you get new and useful content.
This might come straight out of the top of my head (which is pretty small) or it could be something I had to go and learn.

So to help me, help you, please feel free to let me know what interests you.

I know that can be difficult because we are in state of constant change, we often don’t know what we don’t know.

So to kick-off what about answering the following:

What’s your real pain when it comes to Marketing?

What’s your number one challenge when it comes to Photography?

What else is a challenge for you in Marketing and/or Photography?

Just post your answer in the box below, on the contact page or drop me a line at nick@nickkatin.com.

OK bye for now and talk to you next week

Nick

Here’s a couple of articles to take a look to start with:

Why stock images are bad for business!

8 reasons to post Images and Visual Content online

PS: * John Lennon actually wrote “Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can” and then goes on to say “No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man”
Those words are as relevant today as they were in 1971
