4 questions 3 answers

OK we had this big 250 page Photographer's Information Manual that showed how extensive we were in researching this project over two years. Nearly every question you could imagine was answered. However, no one really cared about our future plans or that all those questions were answered. It really boiled down to only four questions from photographers. The short answer is below the question, click the title if you want a few more details.

1. How can I get business off the internet?
You can't unless you advertise your URL frequently or you are in the top 3 pages of a particular "keyword or phrase" in one of five major search engines. According to Word Tracker the the keywords used to find a photographer were typed into search engines over 583 million times in the last 12 months. It has more than doubled from the previous year. Overture claims that over 6 million Americans found their photographer on the internet in 2002. If you type in a Google search for "photographer," you'll get 55 million options. Three years ago it was only 6 million. If you want business from the Internet you must be in the top 3 pages in many key phrases and words? However 65% of the buyers type in a URL. That is why consistently send emails and mailers to known buyers that appreciate our service. To benefit from our pages your work has to be good, that is why Best USA Photographers is called Best USA Photographers, instead of any photographer who's willing to pay us money.We want the consumer to depend on Best USA Photographers for quality. Click on the title and you will see the 4 ways to secured higher placement on various search engines.

2. How does Best USA Photographers differ from
all the others?
We have no competition, at least not yet. We work in all categories of photography because the collective dues allows us to do more with less competition. Would you rather have an advertising budget of $1,500 a month or $73,000. That's the difference between only one photographer in each state or one photographer in each state from all 50 categories of photography (nature, wedding, advertising, retouching, fine art, etc.) (Most services like ours have only 50 paying members) In any case it will be money working to find you customers and you only pay $30 a month. It's photographers from all organizations and associations working together. IT WORKS because consumers look for you by geographic location and/or category. Our sole (or soul) purpose is to provide the consumer with great choices EASILY. Those choices lead to YOUR web site. Our goal is NOT to be pretty. Pretty does NOT get you recognized by the search engines. Remember these are computer engineers with a lot of pencils in their pockets that make up the search engine rules. In addition to search engines we have a lot of other things organized to get you recognized by the consumer.All this places us clearly in a class by ourselves.

3. Why is this better than other advertising
I am doing?
We all only have so much money, so let's consider return on your money. Consumers (corporations included) are going to the internet to preview the work of photographers. Most of the time when you are not even at work. People on the internet have money. They are looking for a photographer. They got to our web site for a reason. How much more targeted of a customer do you want? Plus, Best USA Photographers is going to create reasons for people to visit your web site As outrageous as it seems, you're basically getting a full time marketing director for under $30 a month. This is the power of working together. It works because 98% of the consumers pick their photographer either by geographic location or category of photography.

4. How do I qualify?
Not everyone can. We want to make sure that we are saving the consumer time and providing the highest quality. That is what will make us famous, not handing out as many free listings as we can or accepting anyone with money. For that reason we screen for the best. Photographers need to submit their web site for review. Other photographers judge your site and we let you know. If you are accepted we have dues to help us achieve what we need to accomplish.. By combining forces we can catapult our recognition.

THINK ABOUT THIS
Our name is attractive to the consumer. Given 30 names on a page, what consumer would not want to check out Best USA Photographers? How many would prefer a mediocre photographer? What photographer wouldn't want to be listed in Best USA Photographers. But we are all about getting our URL out to known buyers. Once they find us, it is easy to find YOU by geographic location, category or last name. Our ONLY purpose is to get YOU recognized, that is where your dues go. Everyone pays a little to get a lot. We will even provide you with statistics each month on how many people we sent to your site. What other company will do that? Plus, we will give you advise on how to improve your site. Let's face it, one customer will more than pay for your year's dues. If you don't see the value of everyone working together, the chances are you don't "get the picture" when it comes to internet marketing. This is not uncommon. Most people have NO IDEA how the search engines work. (31 factors) The bottom line is that it takes more time and money than any one photographer cares to put in it. Best USA Photographers takes on that responsibility. We don't make phony promises and guarantees that you'll be number one on the search engines. I personally fell for a few of those, thinking I could save time. That is why this photographer started Best USA Photographers. We can do it by believing in each other.
