Love this song!
Most (if not all) photographers use a great array of software each day. They employ applications such as Photoshop, Lightroom, and other key plugins. But today isn’t about those types of programs. I’ll be giving my in depth review of a program that is geared towards the business side of photography (or any service). The program that I am talking about is called Billings, it is a single program that streamlines your workflow by providing a clean user interface that allows you to create great looking invoices, and keep track of all your clients. You are able to see who is your top client, and who still owes you money. You can get a free 21 day trial right here: http://www.marketcircle.com/billings/ Another useful piece of technology is having a password protected proofing site. After looking around at different site templates that promised a well integrated experience, but in reality they were elements held together with pieces of tape, (much like photo equipment) I decide to install word press on my server. It is a free software that you can run on most any server, and if you have a go daddy server installation is as easy as a single click! So once I got that going I found a great plugin that not only allowed me to make password protected proofing galleries. It also integrates an ordering system that works great! You can find this free plugin here: http://imstore.xparkmedia.com/ On the topic of website and servers I just have to say that if you are looking for FTP software I have to say FileZilla is by far the best option I have tried. Best of all it’s free and you can pick it up here: http://filezilla-project.org/ I’ll end with a question to you; what do you think about Adobe’s new rental program? (haven’t heard of it: http://www.labnol.org/software/rent-adobe-software/19092/)
