I signed up for the bootcamp. I got more than I bargained for. The bootcamp lasts 5 weeks and consists of an email each week. I thought each weekly email would probably consist of one or two articles, possible a pdf file, and some pictures. Boy, was I wrong!
I got my first week's email today - it looks like it is going to be a knuckle-down, buckle-up, set-aside-some-real-time-to-do-some-work bootcamp. Here's what I got:
Week 1 - Inspiration: the Secret to Success
- Brian Smith's Tips on Breaking Through - an hour long Webinar
- Ami Vitale on Finding & Pitching New Ideas - a 20 minute Webinar
- Staying Focused on Your Passion Projects - a one and a half hour webinar with portrait photographer Tim Mantoani
- Why Passion Matters - a 12 minute interview with sports photographer Ed Mulholland
- Innovator's Bag: Up Close - a 20 minute interview with David Burnett, a photojournalist
- 11 Things Photographers Wish They Learned in School - an article featuring answers from 11 well known photographers and some Twitterers answering the question "What do you wish you'd learned earlier in your career?"
- Why Attitude Matters - an article on the 5 positive traits of successful photographers
- Reinventing Yourself - a 7 minute interview (and article) with Robert Seale about changing your career direction. Robert left his safe newspaper staff job to (successfully) pursue a freelance career in editorial and corporate photographer. (This included a link to PhotoShelter's free 2011 Inspiration Handbook,)
Even though I haven't seen all the webinars yet, in my opinion, this one week is worth as much as the "business kit" I recently purchased for $30.
