I have focused on sharing my drawings, paintings, photography, and videos through various Instagram accounts. In the past, I have created two websites in order to start monetizing my work. However, there are many tips that I wish I knew before starting my first photography website in high school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This website is first and foremost a business website, but it is also a portfolio of all the sports photography I\u2019ve taken and a blog with many stories\/things I have learned along my photography journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top 3 tips I will use as I create this comprehensive photography business website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean Layouts<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A lot of junior portfolios I\u2019ve seen use a lot of animations, color, and copy. <a href=\"https:\/\/womeninartsnetwork.com\/how-seo-can-help-get-your-art-discovered\/\">This article<\/a> mentions that minimal is actually better (and not just visually). If someone only has a minute to scroll through my website, I want to make it as easy as possible. That way, I can lower my bounce rate and ensure my website runs quickly. Coincidentally, it also makes your website easier to crawl for robots. All of these are positive signals to a search engine and will help my website rank.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Descriptive Labels<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If I just post a collection of photos without giving them names, dates, or any identifying information, it means nothing to anyone else other than me. If I capture a specific point or emotional moment in a game, I want to highlight and make it a point of interest for others who may not have the context. Again, context is what helps people and search engines notice my website. Unfortunately, I tend to be verbose in my descriptions, so the key here for me personally is to make them as concise as possible while also conveying the deeper meaning.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Linking Outside of My Portfolio<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Awards that I have won for my photography, places my photos have been used, and stories about places I\u2019ve worked can all lead to connecting links elsewhere. Internal and external links are extremely important when optimizing my website. There are articles from the school I could link to and people\/teams I\u2019ve worked with that can link back to my website. The more connections I build, the stronger my ranking and my presence online will be.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO can get technical, but I have learned that it is better to keep it simple. Starting with these three points in mind will already put my new website head and shoulders above my last one that I created years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>photo of original photography website For Context For most of my life, I have pursued various artistic endeavors.
