Definitely has good steps to crating a photography business in portraits. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to be sort of like a work book, where there’s space in it for the reader to write down their plans and goals - but I did find it to be interesting. Will absolutely read it again and again, once I start implementing the steps into my own business.

Great read!

Straight to the point. It was a great map to getting started in the world of photography. Don’t skip this book!

This is a quick read with lots of great information. However, because there are so many typos it made me stumble in an otherwise good book. I recommend this book if you want a quick, down and dirty plan. There's so much more to it than is noted in the book, but overall, a good start. The reason for only four stars is because of the typos. Otherwise it would have been five.

Good tips

Liked the tips and picked up some new ones but nothing out of the ordinary. Well, for someone with some basic knowledge of marketing and a few years in the photography business.

Will e useful for newcomers
