Why is it that most photography consultants either have lackluster websites, or none at all. 10-15% is being bandied about these days in photography circles as the percentage of income a photographer should devote to marketing efforts, which among many things includes spending money on a website that is nothing less than stellar. Should that same % apply to the photographer consultant business, it doesn't say much for their industry or their professional success given the quality of their websites. The irony is that a consultant will devote much of their time to how your work is presented through your website, so if they have a crappy website, what does that say. I've interviewed consultants in the past as to why they don't have a website, and they're usually avoidant, saying that they have something in the works. -Ambrose “Eliot wrote:

It checks in at just over 100 pages, but don't let the brevity fool you. She packs a lot of good info into it. I have a copy of Leslie’s book.

I've always been curious about consultants and have heard of Leslie and seen her around the different forums - PDN, APA and so forth. Great to get a little back history ! Also I applaud this unique turn of "reality show"/audience voted consultant-thing-a-ma-jig - it is a chance to listen in and see how this consulanting thing works. I'm damn curious to see how this turns out ! cheers ! e bravo for bringing this out onto the web.
