1. Start your own blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eric-kim-red-lifestyle-.jpg?resize=1180%2C789\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSignup via bluehost.com<\/a>, register your own domain name (preferably your first and last name), and setup a blog via wordpress.org<\/a>. It will cost you only around $10 USD a month, which is the best single investment you can make as a photography entrepreneur. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy? If you have your own blog, you can get indexed by google, which means, random people on the internet who are searching for certain things can find you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, 90% of who have discovered who ‘ERIC KIM’ is have come through Google searches on ‘Street Photography’ on my article: ‘Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Street Photography<\/a>‘. Now my next endeavor is to build a new following on people searching ‘photography entrepreneurship<\/a>‘, or ‘photography marketing\/business\/branding’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Write blog posts about information you would like to discover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Eric-Kim-Lisbon-v5-Photos-2018-074-2000x1325.jpg?resize=1180%2C782\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe simplest concept for Google SEO (search engine optimization<\/a>, ie. how to become #1 on Google for your search term) is to start off specific. Just think of yourself on the other side:<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf I was searching for a certain type of information, what would I search in the Google search bar?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Use this strategy to figure out how to title your blog posts. For example, some things I’m sure people are searching for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- How to make money through photography<\/a><\/li>
- How to start a photography business <\/a><\/li>
- How to get more Instagram followers<\/a><\/li>
- etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I think the best strategy is to create information you<\/em> would wish you could discover! <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/eric-kim-street-photography-2018-lumix-g9-sf-to-oakland-to-nyc-85-2000x1333.jpg?resize=1180%2C786\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor example, when I started street photography in 2008-2009, there was very little information on the internet on how<\/em> to shoot street photography. Thus, I sought to fill that void<\/a>, by creating the most comprehensive information and knowledge on street photography (Street Photography 101<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\nTo be frank at this point, I feel that I have done my duty, and now I’m “onto the next one” in the words of JAY-Z<\/a>, now focusing more on photography entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. YouTube is another Google Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
