Below are some examples of some 8x10 promotional photos to give you some ideas on how you may want to layout your own publicity photo. These examples include both landscape and portrait versions of bands, singers, actors, and models.
If you ordered 500 8x10's for $209.50 and sold them to your fans for $3.00 each, you would make over $1290.00! That's a better profit than selling t-shirts and an inexpensive souvenir for your fans!
In this crazy ever-changing music industry landscape we see the same issue over and over again: A vast majority of artists don’t have a long-term plan in place.
The reason for this is in today’s DIY landscape there is no one in charge of creating such a plan. To make things worse the pressure of consistently releasing great singles or EPs, social posting, writing newsletters, booking, plus learning new technology and platforms keeps artists busier than ever and these never ending tasks battle long-term perspective.
This sadly has a lot to do with how the artists approach their releases. We know once the music is finished a deep sense of urgency rushes in screaming – release release!
