WARNING THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT<\/span>!!!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n O.K. in the last few years I have been doing more and more one day seminars for camera clubs, \u00a0photo groups and photography dealers. \u00a0To be honest I really enjoy them and I’ve been getting great reviews from my hosts. \u00a0So as I said this is an advertisement, \u00a0I would love to do more and I can tell you how to set one up if you your club, organization or store would like to particpate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s really a win\/win proposition as most of my clients have made a nice profit running these seminars and I’ve really enjoyed doing them with the folks that attended. \u00a0We usually do them on a Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. \u00a0I can structure the days workshop units based on the skill level of the group or do a program that covers all the bases, I’ve done both. So how does the money work? \u00a0It’s easy, I will come in for a one day seminar and sometimes add an evening before or a day after, as part of the package for the club or store. \u00a0I charge $4,000. plus travel and lodging. \u00a0Let’s say the Acme Camera Club in St Louis, MO brings me in and sells tickets for the day for $75. If they get 100 people they clear more than twenty five hundred dollars, if they get 15o, they make over six thousand. \u00a0If they charge a fee for an evening program before or a field session the day after the seminar, that is all profit for them too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why am I doing more seminars? \u00a0I truly enjoy working with an audience, meeting a lot of great folks and not only helping out a club or dealer, and it’s a pay check for me too! \u00a0I do about a dozen, 4 day workshops year and the Summit and a couple of other events, but the seminars are some my favorite. \u00a0So, here is the sales pitch!!! \u00a0If your club or dealer is interested in doing a seminar, please contact me, all my contact info is in the CONTACT window at the top of the page. \u00a0Maybe I’ll see you in your hometown someday soon!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the pilgrim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WARNING THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT!!!!!
