Shoot and Burn? Shoot To Kill?
burnThousands of photographers advertise shoot and burn weddings.

There's no getting bogged down in album design! Hand over a CD, and count your money! But now we face the question: Are shoot and burn weddings truly profitable?

One album company has done a painstaking analysis of the true income and expense of shoot and burn. You can read their analysis, and join the discussion in DWF Pro Business, as members dissect the article and accompanying spreadsheets..

 

 

Somebody Ripped Off My Website
webDWF Mentor Neil van Niekerk says (after being ripped off for the umpty-millionth time) that when they steal your images, your site design, and even your bio, it is NOT a form of flattery.

But Neil points out there IS something you can do about content theft. In DWF PRO Business, he offers some resources to help you fight back against those who swipe your work. You'll want to bookmark these links!
