Overall promoting of your site:
We do not maintain a centralized index where casual viewers can go
look for one or more sites belonging to member photographers. It is
expected that each photographer will promote their site's presence and
get the Internet address (URL link) into the hands of their prospective
customers as they see fit.
In general, the promotion of one's photography business and/or the
business' online presence is a topic that covers many possibilities,
and should be thoroughly researched by each photographer, based on the
business model they plan on implementing. Much of this information can
be obtained from Internet photography forums, trade publications and
how-to books on the subject of running and promoting a photography
business.

sale.
