<p>What are the 3 biggest problems faced by professional photographers? Are there any solutions to them? Do they entail any interesting stories to tell? Do photographers of different genres will experience different dificulties? Are there any types of pictures that are easier to take than others? I apologize for asking too many questions. I'm just a newbie so there's still a lot to learn. I'm really eager to hear from you guys- professional photographers out there. If you don't have time to elaborate on the answer, please just use the bullet points for the problems.<br />Thanks in advance.<br />Sheila.</p>

<p>My name is Sheila. I'm a Vietnamese and English teacher living in Saigon. I've recently had a new job to pursue my hobby, in which I work for a website which hosts a directory of photographers, photography suppliers and photography clubs and groups. My job is to send out invitations to these people, inviting them to add a free entry / advert to the directory and I have a quota of responses generated to meet. <br> Unfortunately, after sending hundreds of emails, I failed to get interest from any of the above parties. I don't know what went wrong. I don't know if my emails are appealing enough to them. My life pretty much depends on this right now. So if any photographers out there know what would sound good enough for you to reply to an email or what would be cool to you to add to my email to arouse interests, please let me know. Any tips as to if I should pursue a direct mail approach or if there are any other ways of telling people about this would be highly appreciated. By the way, I'm glad to be a member of this forum and ready to make new friends. <br> Thanks a lot.<br> Sheila</p>
