"PhotoDaily
continues to be a valuable part of our business. It allows us to
find publications that are seeking images within our target areas.
PhotoDaily has been a consistent source for establishing new clients
and keeping up with the needs of established photobuyers. Thanks
for the great market letter."

"We
have subscribed to PhotoDaily for years. Rohn and the folks at PhotoDaily
have a wonderful insight into the photo needs of the rights-managed
photo community and content-specific stock photography demands.
We have made many sales by utilizing the leads and requests on the
PhotoDaily and have enjoyed many lasting client contacts as a result
of these sales. The service is crucial to our daily operations."

"I've subscribed to PhotoDaily for more than seven years and every week I have
at least one and usually more good leads on stock photographs. My
subscription to PhotoDaily has helped me build a flourishing litlle
stock photo agency at home. In the digital age, I now handle all
communications via email and the Internet, including invoicing and
delivery of images. PhotoDaily is a good choice for all photographers
with substantial imaging files who would like to establish their
own, small, independent business at home."
- Raymond Bial, Author and Photographer, Illinois
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I
just sold a book cover for $1000 as a direct result of a PhotoDaily
contact."
-
Tina Manley, Photographer, Rock Hill, SC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks
to PhotoDaily listings, I've sold "Two" images to National Geographic.
One was used as a part of a program for schools, the other was used
in their "Kids" Magazine. They may not be Prestigious Covers, but
it's still National Geographic! Besides that, I sell numerous images
to a variety of other publications as well. PhotoDaily is an investment
I highly recommend for Stock Shooters."

Ray Malace, Photographer, Michigan

THE BIG PICTURE
As
a stock photographer, you've no doubt discovered that a winning
strategy is to seek out markets that continually need photos
that match your interest areas and the kind of images you
like to take. These markets, "theme publishers," are always
looking for stock photographers who "speak their language"
and can supply them with the kind of images that they constantly
need.
Over the course of a year's subscription to the PhotoDaily,
you might find only ten (10) publishers of magazines or books
that meet this goal. If at first glance that sounds modest,
take another look: You can earn anywhere from $1000 to $5000
(sometimes more) a year from each of these publishing houses—$10,000
to $50,000 or more for the year.
THE LONG TERM VALUE
Here's
the math: Publishing
houses don't change their theme. Most photographers continue
to work with a specific publishing house for an average of
at least ten years. $5,000 per publishing house per year equals
$50,000 in ten years. If you find just 10 publishers that
match your interest area, thanks to subscribing one year to
the PhotoDaily, you've positioned yourself to reap
$500,000 in sales (half a million dollars) over a ten-year
period. And this is a conservative figure.
You're not looking for the PhotoDaily to bring you
sales leads every day. Your aim is to find just 10 market
matches over the course of a year. |

"The
photographer's life is not getting any easier, except for such services
as those offered by Rohn Engh. I have subscribed to his want lists
since it was one yellow sheet - way too long ago to remember the
year. But I can't forget the help those lists gave me as a stock
photographer, or the constant stream of new clients they brought
me. I have also continually benefited from his educative articles
and books. As a pioneer, he has been imitated, but never equaled.
I wish him long life."

Victor Englebert, Photographer, Allentown, PA

"I've
been using Rohn's marketletters from the very beginning. Was it
coming via Pony Express then? Now with the PhotoDaily I find the
listings and contacts a terrific resource. I look forward to many
more years of his daily listings..."

Ed Zirkle, Photographer, Wilmington, NC

Some
PhotoDaily Q & A's
Q: Do listing in the PhotoDaily duplicate those
in your weekly PhotoLetter?
A: No. The listings in the PhotoDaily are different.

major markets that pay $100 and up per photo. No repeats
–fresh new listings every day.
Q: How do I receive the PhotoDaily?
A: Via email.
Q: If I qualify to receive the PhotoDaily, can
I sign on for both information services – PhotoDaily and
PhotoLetter?
A: Yes.
Q: How do I qualify for PhotoDaily?
A: Along with your application form, send us your website
address, or send three tearsheets of work published in national
publications. Our eligibility board will review your work or your
website. Call us if you have any questions. All monies will be refunded
to you if upon review by our board, your work does not meet eligibility
criteria.
Q: How do I pay for my PhotoDaily service? (Subscription
fee is $375.00 annually, or $35 by the month.)
A: By check, Pay Pal, or credit card. We honor all major
credit cards. You can pay annually or have us charge your credit
card monthly ($35). You save $45 by paying annually. You may cancel

Q: Can I save each PhotoDaily to a disk and then
build my own personal data base of photo editors, addresses, photo
needs, subject matter, etc. for future reference?
A: Yes. Bonus: Each month we send you an update of photobuyer
changes (staff changes, new addresses, phone numbers, etc.).
Q: If I have a marketing question, where can I get consultation?
A: We suggest the Kracker Barrel (see our Home
Page). It's a bulletin board where fellow stock photographers share
their expertise. http://www.photosource.com/board. Questions
are answered by Mikael Karlsson (website moderator and pro photographer),
or another expert in the field, or Rohn Engh, director of PhotoSource
International. You may also call PhotoSource International at 800
624 0266 and arrange a one-hour telephone consultation with Rohn
Engh (cost: $200).
Selling
stock photography to editorial markets (average fees $100 to $250
per photo) is not to be confused with Royalty-Free Internet sites
that sell photos for 50 cents or a dollar.
PhotoSource
International's latest survey of photobuyers at magazines, newspapers,
and books, found that Royalty-Free images make up 10% to 15% of
the purchases by these editorial buyers. They spend the lion's share
of their photography budgets on specific-content editorial photos,
for quality illustrations for their focused publishing projects.
The general, "generic" nature of Royalty-Free images won't do. Fees
paid for editorial images range from $100 to $300 and up.

very much like the PhotoDaily, which has provided me with several
very good hits and which I expect to pay for itself."
-William
B. Folsom, Photographer, McLean, VA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I've
subscribed to the PhotoDaily for many years and regularly find listings
there that lead to stock photo sales. For instance, one of my regular
clients now is the United Methodist women's magazine, Response,
which I learned of through the PhotoDaily. Their photo needs are
a great fit with the kind of work I do, and so I end up selling
them something most every month. Subscribing to the PhotoDaily has
been one of the best investments I've made."

Jim West, Photographer, Detroit, MI

"I
just had my largest sale ever (4 digits), to Random House thanks
to PhotoDaily.
