How to Start a Home-Based Photography Business

Rating:
Summary: Good for what it is
Review: If you already know a lot about management and/or business in general, don't bother. Little specific to photography is in here. I am a majager and have a degree from ASU's business college, so this wasn't all that helpful. If your background isn't like mine, or you need a refresher though, this may be an excellent title for you.

Summary: Too general for a starter like me
Review: It's a good read but one might not get much out of the whole book. With a little research on the internet, this book renders useless; besides, the advices are very dated. Try E R Lilley's book better.

Summary: don't bother
Review: This book has little in specifics for a photography business. It does have lots of basic common sense advice about home businesses in general. For example, he tells you to check in the yellow pages to see who your competition will be. Also, you can get some of his information for free, such as the tax regulations from the IRS.

Summary: Table of contents
Review: This book is of little help to someone starting a home-based photography business. It is a good resource for someone having absolutely no common sense. The table of contents is the only thing you need to read and something I should have paid closer attention to before my purchase. Quite an ironic title.

Rating:
Summary: Well Organized & Written
Review: This book is well organized and written. It was a quick read and he covered everything in simple terms that even the budding pro could follow. My only complaint is that he spent a lot of time detailing bookkeeping & resource systems that are all done by hand and there was little advice on computer assistance. Also, he focused mostly on freelance stock photography (which is what most home-based photographers would be doing) but more info on studio work would have been helpful for me.
