#661 toot your horn

I saw That Tree photographer Mark Hirsch in yet another magazine.  He has been on CBS and NBC News, NPR, in the Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Denver Post and theguardian.  He just had a feature in Midwest Living magazine and he has 33,000 followers on Facebook.  Two years ago he was an ordinary freelance photographer in Wisconsin and now he has national exposure.  And an agent.

How would things be different for you if you had an agent or campaign manager? Do you have a talent or niche skill that would benefit from additional exposure?  If someone had the task of promoting you or your work, what material would they have to work with?  

I think that all of us are doing great things for some aspect of our lives, but we often share these talents with only a limited circle.  Don't wait for someone else to be a cheerleader for you.  Be your own "agent" until you establish yourself enough to warrant someone else to do that job.
