I've been living in NYC for about 3 years now and had built up a nice little group of regulars who all seem to be bailing on me one by one (except my favorite and best customer who has actually gotten more into me) or at least not seeing me nearly as oftenI know the reason for each specific case and I've decided some of them are not worth trying to get back. Many of them were a huge pain in the ass to deal with so i've decided I would like to start fresh. I will keep lines of communication open and still send occasional texts/discreet pics to the old regs but I want to focus on gaining new and hopefully better quality customers.
I'm nervous though bc I've lost some confidence when I started noticing customers leaving and not coming back. I feel like I just don't have it anymore. I'm very introverted but I'm excellent at one on one so while I might not capture someone's attention right away, when i get it I tend to hold it for awhile (all my old regs were at least 2.5 years and frequent) and am able to ask for very high rates (this might be an issue going back into it....) I know I have to get back out there but I feel like I don't even know where to start! I don't have $ for a photo shoot right now. I'm on a shoe string budget since all my $ goes to school, living expenses and recently have spent a lot on travel/vacations plus I haven't been working :-/
Guess i'm just looking for words of encouragement/advice...thanks ladies! <3
