Hi Tony,Regarding how I market my imgeas, I basically don't. I shoot for some local newspapers, I occasionally put news imgeas into the BBC, and the rest of my income is made up of private work. I've been trying to get involved with Getty for covering some national-interest events, but no success so far.The subject of marketing is one that I avoid writing about because I would probably do more harm than good. Although I'm earning a living from photography I work in a very specific market. For a start, 100% of my work is through word of mouth, or for people I worked with for free when I was just starting out. (Yes, working for free can lead to paid work, but be wise.) I don't advertise at all, although a lot of people see my work through this web site.Also, I'm in a low-income bracket as far as photography is concerned. My priority is doing a modest amount of work that I enjoy, how and when I want to do it. Yes I need money to pay the bills but beyond that I'm not pushing for higher income. That's fine for me, but as a result I'm in no position to give advice about marketing.All I would say is this: Decide who you want to work for and make it happen. That's vague, I know, but it's a good way to focus your ambition and strategy.If you're making  a couple of grand  (per annum?) from microstock then no doubt you're a talented photographer, and you have a good eye for what will sell in your target market. If you want to move up a gear then you need to decide what sort of work you want to do, who you want to do it for, and start moving in that direction.
