Great news to share today.. I just signed up to PhotoShelter‘s no obligation – $1 trial – to power up my photography portfolio. Wow..quite an exciting moment!

Its been a while since I started researching a photography website platform with efficient tools that would allow me to easily display, share and promote my photography online.

You might ask: what does PhotoShelter offer?

PhotoShelter is the most powerful all-in-one online system that helps amateur, aspiring, and pro photographers get serious about building a following and growing a photo business.  PhotoShelter starts with an elegant website, and is backed by advanced marketing and sales tools, online image delivery features, and secure photo hosting/backup. Free webinars, free reports, and access to a great photo community!

I particularly like the new Photo Wall, which truly, as they advertise is ” an attention grabbing homepage layout that will surely draw prospective clients into the many different image galleries” (…).

What caught my attention is the fact that the Photo Wall isn’t based on Flash, so it does looks great on the Apple iPhone/iPad, and to top it a notch, it’s Search Engine Optimized. (SEO).  That’s interesting! 🙂

And this feature got me hooked =>  you can integrate inside WordPress with the Graph Paper Press theme which was studied to work well with PhotoShelter interface. Ah ah…that’s a big plus.

Key features :

– Contemporary Website Designs
– Elegant Portfolios
– Print Vendor Network
– Love from Google.
– Build a following
– Make more money
– Deliver images to clients fast
– Bulletproof backup

In this short video, Alen Murabayashi, co-founder of PhotoShelter demoes the set-up a great looking SEO photography website in 3 easy steps:

I sincerely think that I’ve made a good choice ( as more than 65,000 photographers did before me) and in the next month I will experiment with PhotoShelter working tools to prove myself right or wrong. Stay tuned for feedbacks.

Would you like to try it outfor yourself ?

Act now and get a head start into 2011 with a new, or better, photography website. Take the trial tour of PhotoShelter’s websites and tools and see how it can work out for you!

As they say:

“We’re different from other photography websites because we believe deeply that looking
good online is just the start. You’ll get everything you need to display, sell, market and archive your photography online, at no starting cost. It’s a great way to decide if PhotoShelter is right for you. Pay absolutely nothing if you cancel before the trial end date, but we doubt you’ll want to.”

So, don’t wait for a New Year’s Resolution to start making smart decisions about your photography website.

Do as I did, inspired by Bob The Teacher Jenkins recently published book, Take Action Revise Later. (TARL) It is jam-packed with step-by-step instructions and the proverbial “kick in the pants” we all need to create our dream business online.

Treat yourself and grab your copy. It’s a simple and priceless guide to success in business.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Yours Truly,
