Hi Joy Michaelle. Thank you so much for this very invaluable KZbin website. You have really put your heart and soul into it and it really shows. Much gratitude. I call myself a complete NEWBIE when it comes to photography and business. I have done some courses in both, but still feel like a NEWBIE. And that's very ok. It's where I feel i'm currently at. I love EVERYTHING you have to offer on this and other pages. One small step at a time. Looking forward to seeing you on all your different photography platforms. Wishing you health, wealth and blessings.

Thank you so much for your videos! Do I need a LLC or a DBA? Or can I just do business under my legal name?

[@Joymichelle]

I did LLC - because it was simple and has so many benefits

When building a portfolio , would you use a blog as your portfolio ? And is show it for blogging or an actual website ?

[@Joymichelle]

Hey Crystal! Do you have a website or just a blog? I think it’s best to have both!

[@crystalmoderow5894]

@@Joymichelle No . Its just a hobby right now . That’s why I was wondering where in the best place was to host your portfolio

[@Joymichelle]

You can do a few things: keep a folder of your high res images on a hard drive and update a website with them regularly - but also I would use free platforms like Instagram and FB as a portfolio as you grow it! What kind of photography are you doing?

@@Joymichelle oh ok. I started a insta a while back but not very active . Trying to get more into it . So you are saying to create a website even if you are not looking to make it a business just yet ? Just as a place to post your photos ?
