Finding a Niche in Photography

May 11, 2009 | Category: General

I got a chance to attend a wedding photography business strategy seminar organised by CandidSyndrome and Saiful Nang.

I must say, the seminar had inspired me to do things that I don’t even think could make money (so big!). Saiful has done it. From a mere RM90 as a “working capital”, he managed to secure more than a million in less than 3 years after venture in wedding photography business since 2004.

How he did that?, well If you listened to his story, you would say to yourself – “hey dude, why don’t you think about it and have a go too!, it doesn’t take rocket scientist to do it”.

That’s the good thing about attending seminar or short courses. You got some “booster” to enlighten your ideas.  Of course, doing nothing after got that inspiration will lead us to nowhere. So, I need to set my direction clear, find a niche, study the demography, build my empire (yes, he did this too!), strategise my work, influence people by your credibility and talent, and not to forget – manage your financial flow (book keeping)!.

So, this will be another thing that I’m adding to this year “todo list”, that is to find a niche in my photography work. A niche that can turn into big rewards – monetary perhaps and also personal satisfaction.
