CONTEST: Get Legit!

     If you want to be taken seriously in this business you have to have a website that doesn’t say “I make no money so this poorly designed site was all I could afford.” I know this is hard when you are starting out because I went through it but it is one of those frustrating things where you need to spend money before you can make it. When I started out and had no money I only had a blog. Don’t get me wrong, having a blog is a great (and free) way to put your work out there before you can afford anything more but a blog should be an addition to a strong web presence just like twitter, facebook, etc. It should be a way to keep people up to date. Unless you have an well designed blog (not free) then it should NOT take the place of a great website.  You want to get legit? Get a website.

    So here’s the deal. I know there are a TON of aspiring photographers out there who want to get a website together but haven’t been able to afford it. I want to help with that. Below are the details for the “Get Legit” contest. Follow the directions and I will buy the most deserving person a website and pay for your first year of hosting. I want to know why you deserve it and what you are capable of so show me! Feel free to ask any questions you have. Go!
