	Make the most out of  your membership by using the following 10 
	Point Challenge 
	 
	1. Mentor Me - A great opportunity to have help from leading practitioners in the 
	photographic industry. 
	Why struggle when help is at hand? Our Mentoring team are here to give you 
	first class advice on your imagery and help you to create the very best 
	images for your clients…and lead to qualifications. 
	 
	Please supply: 
	20 jpg images. 
	2000 pixels on the longest side 
	Numbered 01 - 20 
	Keep your submission to one subject matter 
	 http://swpp.co.uk/mentor_me.htm 
	 
	2. Do we have your twitter username? 
	You can now have your twitter stream, running on the right hand side of your 
	page. 
	 
	To see an example, check out David Simm's members page:
	
	http://swpp.co.uk/members/Simm0017.htm 
	 
	To add this feature to your page, please email
	info@swpp.co.uk with your twitter 
	username (handle) and membership number. 
	 
	3. Hundreds of members have already taken advantage of our online 
	photographic exhibition   To get yours all you need to do is send in 15-30 
	jpegs to ben@swpp.co.uk at 800 pixels wide. 
	In addition you can also have a 'Signature Image' on your members page, 
	again to do this send in your image to ben@swpp.co.uk
	at 400 pixels wide. 
	 
	4. Say hello on the forum We all know it can be a little daunting to post on a busy Forum for the 
	first time, so we have created a special section where you can just say 
	‘hello’. The many members who already frequent the Forum will make you feel 
	very welcome and when you feel confident at ‘joining in’ then please do so. 
	Say hello here: https://thesocieties.net/forum/index.php/topic,1216.0.html 
	 
	5. Check your contact details It’s very quick and easy to check your contact details. All you have to 
	do is visit your member's page. 
	If there are any alterations please contact us:
	http://swpp.co.uk/contact/ 
	 
	6. Send in a self portrait  It is a proven fact that potential clients like to know who they are 
	dealing with. With this in mind we have for some time been able to display 
	an image on member’s pages of themselves. Many members have already taken 
	advantage of this extra site facility and are reporting additional visitors 
	to their sites and a positive increase in referrals. So do send in an image 
	of yourself, 200 pixels wide as a jpg to 
	colin@swpp.co.uk and get yourself 
	seen. 
	 
	7. Send in a current bio Good unique content is essential if you are to be found on the internet 
	- 
	so by submitting a profile of you and or your business for inclusion on your 
	page on our site, you can substantially increase the referrals that you get 
	from our web site. The profile can include: information about what services 
	you offer, your achievements, your training, your qualifications, the venues 
	or the areas that you cover, it could also include your clients feedback or 
	just about anything else which you think may encourage a client to follow 
	the link to your web site. Please keep them to around 250 words.
	Please email in bio colin@swpp.co.uk 
	 
	8. Sell your unwanted equipment As members of the Societies you can sell your equipment through the 
	forum. Over the past month members have sold in excess of £10k worth 
	of gear. 
	https://thesocieties.net/forum/index.php/board,18.0.html 
	 
	9. Can’t cover a booking – Pass it on to another Society member  Already booked for a certain date and do you have more potential clients 
	wanting to book? Why not pass the contact details on to another member of 
	the Societies.  
	https://thesocieties.net/forum/index.php/board,24.0.html 
	 
	10. Recommend a friend Members who recommend and enrol photographers into membership of any or 
	all of the ‘Societies’ will receive a voucher valued at 10% of the 
	subscription paid. The voucher(s) may be redeemed against products from our 
	range of books, seminars, Convention 
	bookings or even as payment towards your own subscription (cash alternatives 
	will not be offered). 
	 
	It is essential that the new member quotes you as ‘Recommended by’ along 
	with your membership number, as we do have several members who share the 
	same name. Vouchers will only be issued once full payment has been received. 
	The incentive is only available for recruitment of new members. 
	 
	Take up the 10 Point Challenge today and make the most out of your Society 
	membership.
