How I did it
How to sell my photography
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: Most of the journey was about finding a path. I started out very generally - looking at selling holiday pictures, landscapes and the like. As I went through the BIPP mentoring scheme, I realised that it's people that I like, and have been concentrating on portraiture, building confidence, finding studio space, submitting regular panels for mentor advice, and attending top quality training courses.Slowly, my specialisation has been paying … Read how I did it…

£zero investment challenge (read all 4 entries…)
£0.30 2 days ago

I’ve been working smarter, not harder.

It seems like I’ve dropped this month, but that’s due to re-investment. I have a trusted system for making good returns, but needed cash to start it – so I sold 50 shares in my company for £1 each (keeping 50 shares for myself). The August dividend brought me up to £2.55, so that went on a 25p charity donation and £2 reinvestment.

While I only have £0.30 in my funds, I now own 52 shares in Goat Enterprises with those shares currently worth £7.87.

Hopefully next month’s dividend will allow me to buy even more shares.

Sadness 2 weeks ago

I think I need to re-read the chapter on sadness in my book. Not that I think I’m currently suffering, but I’ve been reviewing my Things and I’m not sure I fully understand that one. (Of course, I understand what sadness is, but there’s often a subtle context in these cases).
