“How To Set Goals That Will Improve Your Photography In 2020”
In every area of your life there is always room for improvement. No matter how confident you feel in your camera skills, 2020 is your year to grow! Robert K Baggs from Fstoppers provides a roadmap to your success with these tips on forming goals and successfully completing them. Goals should be narrow and specific so you have something concise to follow with an action plan in its wording.
You also want to create measurable goals so that it’s harder to procrastinate: “With goals like "take at least 10 portraits every month" for instance, there is no room for interpretation; either you took 10 or more portraits, or you didn't. Breaking goals down into parts does mean you require more, but the yield will improve dramatically.”

“Want Followers? You Need To Think About What Your Value Is To Them.”
If you’ve been struggling to market your business on social media platforms, David Justice from Fstoppers has great ideas to point you in the right direction. What makes your photography business stand out from the crowd? What can you share that will truly grab followers’ attention? Justice argues that there are five styles of photography that you may fall into.
The style of photography that you specialize in will help you determine a social media marketing strategy that works for you. Is the content you post educational or behind-the-scenes technical? Are you a storyteller, giving a more personal in-depth look into your process? Deciding what kind of content you would share informs who your audience would be and in turn, helps you tailor your content to those who would be interested.
