How do i solidify a niche ? I like all forms of photography honestly and have done all sorts of things but its hard for me to figure out the type i want to do for business

Hey all, I am heading to Williamsburg Virgina for the weekend. Wanted to touch base with everyone to see if they know of any must visit places there for Landscape photography. Let me know if you have been there and if you have any favorite places to photograph while there. Thanks all!

This photo was selected to be the cover for the facebook page of the Cincinnati Zoo Membership HQ. Which is for people who have a membership to the Cincinnati Zoo. Anyone with a membership can request to join. I put this in as it was taken a few years ago of the orangutan at the Zoo. I love going to the zoo to take photos of the animals there as I live no where close to any wildlife preserves. Lol I do recommend if you like wildlife as much as I do join your local zoo and go shoot! Good luck and good shooting!

So how do you go about marketing your photos? I am not into the seniors/weddings/corporate photography scene. I am more into landscapes/wildlife/racing scenes. I have a smugmug account that a lot of my work is on but it doesn't sell. So I end up paying to keep my photos there so people can see them. Its an expense that I never recover. I will say I am just a hobbiest and do most of this for fun. People do comment on my work but nobody ever purchases any of it. Not that I am complaining, I am more curious as to how to drive people to purchase what they like. I am sure a lot of it has to do with marketing and making a name for yourself out there. However I am still not convinced that people purchase photos much anymore as they have access to all photos they could want online. So how do you all go about it? Do you generate a lot of sales on your work or is it mostly the portraits that you do. Maybe I shouldn't be concerned about any of it and eliminate the smugmug account that is costing me year after year. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and any tips or advice. Just throw it all at me as I do need to make a decision this year to stay with it or just quit trying to sell it. I will add that I do not get much traffic at all going thru my smugmug site. Which again goes back into self promotion and marketing. None of which I know how to do. So any help there would be awesome! Thanks all and looking forward to conversations to the above. Bill

This rework will be INSANE when it's fully done, already finished making the individual courses now I just have to record them and make new free materials coming soon! This course will be primarily about scaling your photography and videography business, no technical knowledge here on how to use a camera and buy gear. (Note the cover images are all temporary, all of them will change) The paid group I also gotta work on after I finish this but that's honestly much easier 😅 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Anything you guys feel like is missing in terms of topics? 2. Also what do you guys think of the new community name "Camera To Clients"?
