The Power of Social Media


I have this little website for my photography business/hobby. It's called Borup Photography. Mostly I think family and friends have visited it to see whatever new photos I have been posting. Well apparently one of my friends pinned a photo via Pinterest that I took of my niece's hair when she got married last December. Since she initially pinned it, 23 other people have now pinned it and as a result my photography website started getting some serious traffic. You can see from the graph below that I went from very low numbers probably to sky-rocketing into the thousands. While the initial excite of that photo has worn off, my site visitor numbers are still up. It's just so crazy to me what one little photo can do. How on earth can I duplicate that?!
