In this blog post, we'll explore some practical tips to help modern photographers maintain a harmonious balance between their artistic pursuits and the demands of running a successful photography business.

​Overchoice or choice overload is a cognitive impairment in which people have a difficult time making a decision when faced with many options. The term was first introduced by Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book, Future Shock.

We think that the more choices we have, the better off we are. Surely more choice equals more freedom? However, the relationship between choice and well-being isn’t entirely straightforward, and the evidence suggests that in many cases, variety makes our lives harder and less pleasant. It can even lead to anxiety and depression!

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation and is the practice of increasing the quality and quantity of traffic to your website through organic search engine results.

Quality Traffic: You want to ensure you are attracting people who are genuinely interested in what you offer. 
Quantity of Traffic: Once you are attracting the right people to click through to your website, now you want to attract MORE of those people.
Organic Results: You can generate a lot of traffic to your website from paid adverts. However, SEO is about attracting organic traffic i.e. traffic you don’t have to pay for.
​

SEO is important for boosting your ranking in search engines so that your photography website will appear higher up the results and therefore get exposure to the maximum number of people.

Think about when you’re searching for a product or service. How many pages of results will you generally click through? If you’re anything like me, you probably won’t get past page 2. In fact, in most cases less than 2% of searchers make it to the third page of results on Google. That’s why it's important to get as far up the listings as possible, and preferably to page 1 of the results for your key search words and phrases.
