a visit to the library

so i visited the library to find some useful resources... and was quite successful
i found a book called Setting up a successful photography business by Lisa Pritchard which was very helpful.
notes from this book..
Blog..
An online journal that allows  others to interact with you, a very useful and effective marketing tool. they are relatively quick, inexpensive and simple to set up, easy to update with your latest news and images. it can be useful to integrate your blog into your website, but it is not unheard of to have a blog instead of a website.
Social Media
every time you post to your blog you can alert the rest of your online community via portals such as twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and any other online forums you have joined. A way you can exploit online socializing is with which you can make contacts - so make sure to add them to your database.

What the NUJ is and is about

The industry has never needed an active and strong union as much as it does now.

The National Union of Journalists is the voice for journalists and journalism.

The NUJ is an inclusive union and represents a broad range of media professionals.

We strive to improve the pay and conditions of our members and protect and promote media freedom, professionalism and ethical standards.

The NUJ is an active union – our members take part in campaigning and negotiating to ensure we are properly rewarded for the skilled work we do.

The union is represented in towns and cities all over the UK, Ireland and parts of Europe. NUJ members work together to improve living standards and working lives.

They work across the media – as staffers, casuals and freelances. Members work in broadcasting, newspapers, magazines, books, in public relations and in new media.

so they offer free legal help if your applicable which is nice i guess 

i guess it means you wouldn't be totally screwed if it went to court
