Hello everyone:

My name is Justin Landers, I am new here, but I need your help:
I am a 24 year old Us Army vet, whom just lost my full time job, and have decided to take my hobby and turn it into a passionate career, so, I am traveling the roads, shooting concerts and landscapes, and offering books of photos for sale hard backed etc.

The issue is I have a lease to get out of, a van to buy, and some other start up costs. I have a van in mind that costs around 3100$. The issue is...I don't have 3100$. This van is already built and ready to go. I started an indiegogo account to help cover the cost-but you won't be just "donating" money to me, you will be buying something. Even a 2$ donation has a perk attached!

The link to the indiegogo is here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/concerts-across-the-country/

and you can follow me on FB HERE: www.facebook.com/concertsacrossthecountry or www.facebook.com/Jslphotography to see everything I have done up to this point!

And on Instagram @JSL_Photograph

Thank you all, i look forward to growing with you all as i venture out into this world!

Hello Justin

I'm a fairly well known marketing guy and a professional copywriter. Chances are I might be able to help you - with some advice at least.

https://uk.linkedin.com/pub/mark-andrews/16/77a/a14

Now I'm going to write professionally and I don't mince my words in this regard, this will be blunt and straight to the point. Take it or leave it.

I just looked at your linked to page where you outlined your plan. It's screaming desperation believe it or not. Plus I'm failing to see what the perceived benefit is for the target market you're trying to reach and connect with. At the moment I think your plan is flawed. Fatally so. It's a no-goer. For many reasons which I don't believe you can see whilst you have your blinders on. Understandable. I've seen it often. It's a common mistake for new business owners.

Talk to me about your passions, your hobbies, what really turns you on (besides sex). What makes you get really bloody excited? In which area/s do you have a great deal of passion and excitement to bring to the table? What do you really love to share with others conversationally?

There is no disputing the fact that you're a good writer but the organization of your words as they connect to other people's emotions needs some brushing up on, lest you want your words and their emotions to become even more disjointed than they are at present.

Here is a good website for you to have a look at run by a contact of mine on your side of the pond: http://speakyourbusiness.com (Ann Convery).

At the end of the day, we need to focus in like a laser on your single biggest benefit. Once we determine what this is we can perhaps make some progress.

You can either do this here, or pm me or email me, my email address is on the link provided above.

Get back to me as soon as you can and I'll help you find your direction.

All the best,


Mark
