St. Lucia Photographer Shares A Photo A Day
With The World For A Year!
Value Adding Techniques
As many photographers continue to struggle to find a foothold in this new digital age where it seems that everyone, and their best friend has a digital camera, I wish to ask the question of fellow photographers…
"Are you adding value to your work?"
You see, to continue earning a decent return from this art called photography that us Professional Photographers truly love, it is important that we absolutely wow prospective clients with just how amazing their photography could be when we produce it for them.
And it’s not for us to sit in front of the computer creating this wizardry, but instead the trick is to outsource the work so that you can be busy shooting even more projects for you to outsource.
Towards this end I have found Rent-A-Coder an indispensable resource for accomplishing such missions as you can tell from this my latest graphical enhancement that was done by a Romanian coder.
Now while there are many pitfalls to avoid when outsourcing, once you have it figured out you’ll simply never look back.
Anyhow, Tell me…Do you outsource any of your work, and if your answer is no, then let me ask…Is it something you’d like to do?
I’d really love to hear your comments…

Hi Kirk,
I agree with your main point: outsourcing…. but I would say we have much like talent right here. you can get in touch with my boy for example, he is good in photoshop has an excellent eye for it. I can give you his email if you want to.
ps.: I showed him the graphic at the top and asked can’t you do this, his comment “that is sooo easy”

Hi Frans,
That’s really good to know. I’ll do one better for your boy. Tell him to go to http://RentACoder.com . He can open an account there and get work all day long. That’s the place I use for my outsourcing & their system is excellent. Email me if you require any assistance with them

Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder.
As St. Lucia Wedding Guru suggested (thank you), our service is appropriate for outsourcing photography-related tasks.
Some of the benefits of using our service include the following:
1. We allow you to verify the time worked on a project with an ‘in and out’ real-time card application. This application records the worker’s desktop and webcam so that you can witness your project’s development.
2. At Rentacoder, we offer arbitration on all projects free of charge and we test your deliverables to make sure they meet requirements. We also prevent abusive buyers from stalling an arbitration’s start. In fact, 45% of our arbitrations are completed under a day and 75% of them are completed under a week. Even more, we show the public how our arbitrators make their decisions.
3. Unlike other services, we guarantee your pay-for-deliverable projects with free arbitration and in some cases, an Expert Guarantee.
4. We let you limit bidding to certified, qualified workers only. Qualified workers are identified with specific tools such as our ExpertRatings, our Expert Guarantee program, All Coder Competition ratings, buyer feedback, and more.
5. We protect your money with free escrowing on all job types.
There are other benefits as well. I invite everyone to compare the 7 major services through this link to learn even more about the many unique features at Rent a Coder: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/DotNet/misc/CompetitorInformation/WhyRentACoder_ForBuyers.aspx
If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also call in to talk to a facilitator 7 days a week, or email us (see http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Feedback.asp).
