Hi ,

We’re now halfway through the 5DayDeal Complete Photography Business Bundle, which gives photographers the opportunity to purchase an amazing collection eBooks, tutorials, marketing resources and lessons for 95% off.

Essentially, you get $1,900 worth of educational rescues for only $87, but it ends for good on March 1 at 12pm Pacific Time.

Also, the 5DayDeal bundle gives 10% back to four selected charities, and as of this morning, around $20K had been raised for The BOMA Project, Though As Her, The Exodus Road and Mercy Her. With your help, they'll be able to reach their donation goal of $50,000.

I’m honored to be included in the 2016 photography bundle, with my ZEN PHOTOGRAPHER eBook. Written from my perspective of almost 20 years as a full time working pro photographer, ZEN PHOTOGRAPHER: Turning Your Passion into Focus was selected by the editors of Photo.net as one of the best photography eBooks of 2013.

Even if my book weren't in the bundle, (all the contributors have donated their products to the bundle), or even if you already have a copy of ZEN PHOTOGRAPHER, I'd hate for you to miss out on this amazing deal- it's that good! There are so many awesome resources included in here, if you have any notion of trying to make money with your camera, then this is a deal that can't be skipped.

To give you an idea of what's included, I’d like to highlight a small handful of these photographers who I look up to for professional inspiration and feature some of the products you get if you purchase the bundle.

You’ve probably heard of David duChemin. He’s the author of a number of very insightful books and eBooks, and he has a huge following. For good reason, David is an incredible travel photographer, and his work is top notch.

In addition, he writes with such elegance and intelligence, you can not help but be inspired by just about every word he puts out into the world. I consider him on the same par with his imagery and visionary writing skills as the late Galen Rowell.

I’ve read a number of David’s eBooks, and they're all really inspiring. David's feature title in the bundle is A Beautiful Anarchy: When the Life Creative Becomes the Life Created. This is a book about living life creativity, whether it’s about photography, writing, music, business, etc…

It’s about making that creation, and our lives, something that’s beautiful, authentic, and completely and honestly human. After reading it, one reviewer said:  “This candid manifesto for the creative goes beyond philosophy and invites the reader to reconsider how they relate with what they fear and to systematically reinvent that relationship in order to create a remarkable life.”

Another photographer I like is Dan Carr. Dan is a fellow adventure and action photographer based in Whistler, BC, and not only does he create awesome photographs, he’s done an amazing job with social media.

Dan has a great affinity for helping others maintain a strong brand and online presence, and he's even better at helping people improve their photography workflow, which, as we all know, can be challenging with all components involved, including cameras, cards, computers, phones, tablets, online sharing, and of course, TIME

Dan Carr’s new eBook Click Click Tick Tock is a 5DayDeal exclusive launch title. As a professional photographer, Dan knows that your value will always be greatest when you can get yourself back behind the camera, applying your unique skill. However, in order to do this, you need to be efficient with your workflow and the rest of your business life. 

With all the daily tasks associated with running a business, that can sometimes seem like a hard thing to manage. The aim of this book is to help you refine your workflow, so that you can get you back to doing what you love. I’ve talked with Dan a number of times and I can attest, he’s definitely got some valuable information to share.

Blogging is so important for photographers these days, for some many reasons. Not only does it keep your name out there for people to find on the web, it can keep you in touch with your clients, help you find new ones, refine your own style and insight, and it can even bring you can income. 

Many photographers make money from blogging; some make a little extra cushion every month, while others make thousands of dollars per month. And it can even lead to entirely new income avenues like books, ebooks and workshops. Believe me- you never know where blogging can lead.

Blogging Brilliantely, 30 Days to a Better Blog, an ebook and 30-day course written by photographer and business coach Christine Termoulet will help you build and sustain a successful blog over the long haul. This resource shows you how to write, magnetize and automate your blog so that it works for you. Again, this alone is probably worth $87, especially when you consider how far you blog can take you.

How many of us are REALLY organized? I know I struggle here, so I’m always trying to pick up tips and resources that can help me stay on track.

The Business Action Planner Toolkit for Photographers, written by Corwin Hiebert is a self-paced hands-on resource you can use to bring more structure and focus to your photography business. This resource helps you take a fresh look at how talented and emerging business owners can build momentum and develop and grow their business in today’s changing world. Consisting of a digital notebook, guidebook, worksheets, the kit helps you establish and prioritize Action Items, Deliverables, Next Steps and Success Indicators.

I’ve looked through this a bit, and am looking forward to diving in more deeply, because even though I consider myself successful, I’m not as organized as I’d like to be. Are you?
