Photographers use Twitter? Really? Yes. And here’s your chance to participate, share, learn and potentially be featured with examples of strategies and tactics that detail how you use Twitter to drive your photography business.

Thanks for the thoughts and input. How to use Twitter to market your photography is the presentation I used at the panel, and all the documents and extra materials from the Twitter Revolution panel (#twitterrev) are available on Jim Goldstein’s TwitterRev page.
Details on the event
It’s official: October 22 at PDN PhotoPlus Expo in NYC, Seshu Badrinath, Jim Goldstein, Jack Hollingsworth, Rosh Sillars and I will discuss the “Twitter Revolution: Changing the Photographic World, 140 Characters at a Time”:
If you ever wondered how Twitter is changing the landscape of photography then join this conversation; it’s critical to your survival. This two-hour session will cover all things Twitter, specifically as it relates to pro photographers: getting started; digging in; tips; applications you need to know about; power users to follow; what’s hot and what’s not; how to engage; how photographers are using Twitter to connect and engage with colleagues and customers alike; how many pro photographers are on Twitter; and most importantly, how to turn followers, friends and fans into customers, clients and brand evangelists for your products and services. (link to conference schedule)
But it doesn’t end there; later that same day there will be a Photographers Tweet-up (click here to sign-up for the event), an event that will bring together photographers using and interested in using Twitter, an experience in itself. Photographers, cameras, drinks and geeks (I’ll be the geek)… I’m looking forward.
Your chance to participate and learn by sharing examples of your strategies and tactics.
Let’s be frank: none of us are experts about Twitter; all of us are participants in the early days of a grand experiment.
But many of us are leaders, creating strategies, testing tactics, measuring our successes, learning from our failures and building a knowledge base about the users, tools and resources to help us understand how to use Twitter to build our photography businesses.
How can you help be a leader?
- Share your insights, examples and case studies on how you have used Twitter to monetize your photography business.
What are we all interested in? To start:
i) What strategies have you created to guide your use of Twitter?
ii) What tactics have you tested, refined, proved?
iii) What tools and applications do you use to integrate Twitter into your photography business?
iv) How do you use Twitter to market and promote your photography, your business, your complementary revenue streams?
v) What metrics do you monitor?
vi) What tools, websites and analytics do you use to measure and qualitatively and quantitatively justify your investment into Twitter and its community of users?
- Start the conversation by sharing your thoughts in the comments below or sending me an email. No need to answer every question, but please be specific with enough details to help someone decide on and develop their own tactics for their businesses. Despite what some may think, sharing information and knowledge can be very beneficial for you and your business.
- Continue by answering Jack’s twitpoll on how Twitter is revolutionizing your photography business (click here to give your response).
- I’m going to use some of the best insights, examples and case studies in the panel (with full attribution); thus, consider this your opportunity to highlight your lessons (success and failures) and contribute to the knowledge base of the web, whether you’re at PhotoPlus or not.
And check back here before and after PhotoPlus Expo to continue the discussion and learning. The final slides will be posted here and on slideshare after the conference. I’m looking forward to the conversation…
