Posted by liveBooks

Starting something new almost always means doing some research. We’ve tried to make the job a little easier by pulling together several resources, including books, blogs, and RESOLVE contributors. This list is obviously not exhaustive, so we welcome your additions in the comments and will add them as they come up. Click here for a list of all other “After Staff” posts.

  • Freelance Switch – A slightly cheeky but highly informative online resource for all kinds of freelancers
  • Seeing Money – Column from RESOLVE contributor Doug Menuez outlining basic business principles for photographers

Time management

Building a website

  • What Photo Buyers Want – Photoshelter’s survey of 550 art buyers, determining what they like and don’t in photographers’ websites.

    According to LemonadeMovie.com, 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this downturn. Obviously photojournalists aren’t alone in their plight. Here’s the trailer for what looks to be a pretty uplifting movie about moving on and finding your new calling :)
