A New Business and Marketing Resource for Photographers
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- The Internet has completely revolutionized education and working together, Skip Cohen University and Sprouting Photographer are setting the bar for quality podcasts even higher. Sprouting Photographer's new feature, "Weekend Wisdom with Skip Cohen," a collaborative effort between the two blogs' founders, brings together the expertise of a special guest artist in each episode and then for thirty minutes, stays focused on one very specific topic.
The first episode aired on September 6 and featured "Sky Crystals" author, Don Komarechka, talking about the key challenges of self-publishing. Komarechka was completely open about topics like crowd-funding, editing, printing, and customer service, just to name a few. What made the episode so unique was the exclusive focus on the self-publishing.
"I'm excited to be working with Sprouting Photographer and anticipate more projects in the future. The blog may be relatively new, but has the same focus as SCU, helping photographers build a stronger business," commented SCU founder, Skip Cohen.
Sprouting Photographer has set some unusually high standards for reach. It's number one in Google stats - for the search term "photography business education", on the first page in Google for "photography business podcast" and on the 1st page in iTunes for "Business Management" and "Marketing and Management" podcasts under the "What's Hot" section. Listeners can subscribe by going to http://www.SproutingPhotographer.com/iTunes or searching "Sprouting Photographer" in iTunes. Alternatively, folks can listen to the episode right on the website.
SCU was listed in Guy Kawasaki's Alltop category of top photography sites just a few months after launch, was recognized in the top four favorite photo blogs along with Sprouting Photographer by Resource Magazine and Skip Cohen was listed recently in the top 100 most influential photographers by Eyefi.com.
For the moment a new episode of "Weekend Wisdom" is scheduled to air every other weekend, but based on the industry buzz from just one episode, it's anticipated that will soon change.
"We've only known each other for a short time, but I've been following Skip for a few years now. Great projects like this are the result of terrific chemistry and our two blogs reflect the passion we each have for helping more photographers," said Bryan Caporicci, founder of Sprouting Photographer.
Sandy Puc is Skip's guest on the next upcoming episode scheduled to air on September 20. For the latest in business and marketing support, check out SkipCohenUniversity and SproutingPhotographer.
