Use Facebook to grow your clientele

Now that you know how www.Schedule'em.com automatically runs a Referral Program for you, lets discuss a more hands on way to promote yourself online using Facebook.

When you finish your work, and our client looks amazing, ask them if you can take pictures of them for your portfolio.  Keep a camera close by or use your phone.  Here are a few things to keep in mind to take great photos:

Make sure what is in the background of your picture is uncluttered.
When possible, use a mirror to showcase the back of the hairstyle too.
Most people look better with their chin lifted slightly.  Especially if they are older or heavy.
Take more than one shot and angle so you have a variety to choose from. 
Be eager to make them look good.  You want them to show everyone their picture!

If you haven't been around cameras very much or you don't now how to take good photos, invest a little time in learning from the pros that share tips on the web.
