Portfolio Consultation Entry Submission Over
September 1st, 2008 | Published in Photography | 1 Comment
The deadline for submitting your microstock portfolio, for the chance to win a free portfolio consultation, has now passed. A huge thank you to everyone who sent me links to their portfolios. A special thanks to Lee Torrens, who alpha-tested my cosultation idea and blogged about it, I got way more entries than expected as a direct result of that.
I am both humbled and extremely happy.
It will take me a few days to look through all these people’s portfolios, to find the three beta-testers. I will be contacting each one individually by September 10th.
The whole idea behind this, is to test whether or not offering individual potfolio consultations is a good idea for me. If the enthusiasm shown in the sign-up for these three freebies is any indication, then the answer is already yes. Though I reserve the right to wait until I’ve heard, what the feedback from my test subjects is like, before concluding anything.
I know some of you are wondering what a consultation will cost, once the test phase is over. Provided I decide to go ahead with it, this is how I will be basing the price: I’m going ask each test subject, how much he or she thought the session was worth, after we’re done. Once all the tests are over, I’ll hold these numbers up against the time spent on my part, see how it fits with what I’d expect per hour (I’m not giving a number here and now, because I don’t want to influence my test subjects ahead of time). Feedback mixed with expectations and common sense will determine the final price tag. Simple as that.

Hey Rasmus, thanks for the acknowledgment and I’m glad I was able to help. I’m looking forward to coffee and Cline Cookies in NY in October!
