We all have it.  Hot lead becomes a cold one.  What do you do?  Couple of ideas on a two man crew is to focus on what matters the most.  For us, it will be photos.  From updating the website to pin pointing which online or print magazine to show it to.  That's not the case sometimes for us due to many distractions such as social media networking and other family events that we have to attend to.  Not that its not important but it can pull you in many different directions and lose focus on…

Having a contest is fun.. If someone is participating. It gets frustrating sometime that you can't reach a lot of people even though your market your self to the max.
