Notebooks

Linda,

I like your notebook idea. I tend to use spiral notebooks for everything, but I'm limited because I can't rearrange. The binder is a great idea because I could move things around, or mainly add. I did recently buy a 3 ring binder and I have it divided into sections, mostly they're regarding techniques, framing, etc. And so far the sections are almost 100% full of pages from this forum that I've printed out.

Melanie,

It sounds like you need to let people know you're there and a portrait artist! I've always had the idea (when I get good enough) to put up a portrait in the local little cafe frequented by moms, or in the local hair salon for kids. (It's walls are currently full of photographs and they're the same photographs that have been there for 10 years!)

There are a lot of posts about marketing ideas on this forum, I'm sure you've read them since you're searching for marketing ideas. Good luck! Let us know how your marketing strategies go.

Joan
