BrightWightImages - New Website

[Excellent]

You should really register BWI as a company or somebody could easily nab it.

I have already had threats for someone to register it, but I am only 15 therefore can not register it yet.

I think it would be very very immature for anyone to register it, with intention to ruin my business.

You're not a business, you're a website. You are also a young and keen photographer looking to earn big bucks fast - this won't happen. It's great to see you're building up your portfolio but if I was you I'd get your dad to register it under his name which can then be changed when you're old enough (if you really want to keep someone from having it) Problem is there is a lot of photographers on the isle of wight and I'm sure some have seen BWI - they will then check if you're a registered company and if not they will take it. Just the way I see it

Your threads are just getting annoying now!!! I don't care about your portfolio and i am sure no one else does! Its a free template you have edited

Go advertise through Google Adwords, CJ.com and affiliate PTC sites not here.

agreed

Excellent, I am not looking to make big bucks fast at all...infact I have been working on my photography for well over a year and a half, and not a penny seen yet.

It is all about building up experience.

Year and a half? :eusa_liar it has only been about 4months since you were asking people how to use your d-slr and now you're trying to advertise your 'business' which about 99.9% of people see is failing. What is the point on advertising all 15 of your Bright Wight Images threads on here... it generates no business and surely if potential clients do look you up they just see posts about you crying and being laughed at on here for taking photos of 9 year olds or failing to get into istock. ol:

Personally, I think it's good how you've turned your hobby into a website and a business.

[DarrenToogood]

Indeed it did start off as a Hobby, however I have now moved it on into a business, in which I look to continue over the coming years.

The good thing is, I have selected a hobby which also fits in nicely to computing, which I also enjoy. I am looking to purchase a laptop to take to events, to provide a better service to my clients, with me being able to edit photos there and then, and show them on the screen. This would also be a time saver for when it comes to putting the images onto the website.

I am really starting to think outside the box, and to make this into a 'proper' business. I have had a few problems with carnival photography, however I am not looking to repeat carnival events next year - too much hassle! I am also not focusing on iStock like I did before. I still have my seller status, so its something nice to fall back on for some small income.
