TourBuzz Support commented on TourBuzz Fellow's blog post Are You Leaving Money On The Table?"I'll add my agreement to this as well; pretty much all of the photographers I've talked to that are successful have a variety of upsells to offer. Price segmentation is a great way to be competitive on paper but still have a path to much…"
TourBuzz Fellow posted a blog postAre You Leaving Money On The Table?
Real estate photography can be an extremely tough business to get into and make money. Especially when you face stiff competition from national companies who price their tours comparable to a new pair of shoes. Often times, agents are only interested in the bottom line and are already using a company that they are happy with. How do you price yourself competitively and yet make money? You make sure that you have upsells. This is what I had to do to get started in my area. One of the national…See More

Oceanside Pier CA
"Beautiful!
Tell us more about it, Doyle. Looks like HDR, but wave looks like a single shot, possibly blended? Amber glow looks enhanced, but certainly by the right amount. Thats a real wall hanger.
I used to live in Ventura, shot the pier…"

What Association Are You Part Of?
When I entered into real estate photography, I was an island. I did not have anyone to turn to, to ask questions of and bounce ideas around. I had to figure out what accountant to use, where to go for local camera repairs, and where to get prints. That is until I cold-called a local architectural photographer to get some help. I explained to him what I was doing and that I wanted to assist him. He told me that he had all of the assistants he needed and he did not want to teach me what he…

Basically, the device plugs into an iPhone and tracks or swivels wherever the included mic is, 360 degrees. If you set the SWIVL on a tripod, anyone can film themselves and move about a room while sharing its features. The best part of the whole thing is that the SWIVL comes with a lav mic so you do not…

TourBuzz Service Update: Simplified Web Site Menus, Improved Readability on Mobile
Just a quick note that we've simplified our menu structure based on feedback from customers.
The new menus are more consistent across web and mobile. The common functions are easier to read and click, and the less common functions are now under a single "My Account" menu item.
We have also tweaked the layout setup for iPad and iPhone, making it a bit easier to use on mobile as well. We plan on making further improvements in a few months, but for now we wanted to get things…
