Hi Mark,

Excellent article. One thing I would add is to set aside some amount of monies for fines! At least here in OH, the corporate laws are made for only extremely large enterprises. In fact, the SBA here says that SBAs have less than 10,000 employees!!! There is so much paperwork for corporations that you are bound to get something wrong when you first start, even if you have an accountant because you can't afford to have one to refer to on a daily basis. Once you get things rolling, these incidents should lessen.

As for collecting, in IT it's not too difficult, but sometimes clients change 3rd party payment companies so you need to able to float for 90+ days! Interestingly, when I worked for a large, international marketing company, they were paid in advance for their campaigns/fulfillment/analysis. If the costs were less than the original estimate, they refunded excess back to the customer! Quite different than any other business I've been involved with!

Also, I don't know what insurance costs are for Photographers. I'm an IT consultant and sometimes work for scary-large customers, so I carry a ton of Errors & Omissions and Liability. Some clients even require bonding in excess of $10M US. Maybe you can right a short article on this as I hear that in some climates you can get "weather" insurance to cover shoots ruined by foul weather - which is the norm here ;)

This technique works extremely well. My gallery is using Gallery2 which incorporates a wizard to set this up for you. Remember, that if you post links to facebook, for example, you need to allow facebook to be able to link. There are some good examples on the http://www.modrewrite.com/ -- modrewrite forums which is linked off of modrewrite.com. Good luck and be sure to test thoroughly!

Mark,

Thanks for putting this together. Things are actually starting to 'click' for me -- I've been out of the hobby for years since I had no idea how to get the lighting I wanted to see in my photos. Now, I'm beginning to see things in a different light so to speak.
