HIGH SCHOOL PHOTO CLUBS

It doesn’t take much to make me happy and so the phone call I received today really thrilled me. A year ago, I decided to print bookmarks to advertise my website, www.FunnyPhotosContest.com. I planned to offer them to retailers who sell things for children or pets and veterinarians because most of my website visitors fall into those categories. If the business owners agreed to give them to their clients I would put an ad for their business on my website. To me, it sounded like a great way for both the vendor and me to achieve some easy, free advertising.

However, I haven’t had the success I anticipated from contacting and persuading vendors to accept my proposal. And so, I have had to think of another idea. Perhaps, I should contact high school teachers in charge of their school’s photo clubs. Surely, the students in those clubs would eagerly submit photos to my website. Students always need extra money. Thus, I decided to call the local high school first. But I became discouraged when a couple weeks passed and the teacher failed to return my calls.

Oh well, I would simply have to think of another idea. But recently much to my surprise the teacher not only called me, she easily agreed to letting me send bookmarks to the members of the school’s photo club. I immediately placed a batch of bookmarks in the mail and sat back to wait for photos to arrive. Unfortunately, I’m back to square one. I have not receive even one photo from the local students.
