I also agree that practicing with your camera is essential and besides--it's FUN! Also, getting pointers from someone in person never hurts either! I have an Olympus SP-57OUZ and I love it! It's a great digital camera with a built in wide angle and many user-friendly features, which is most convienient for the novice. Costs around $400.00. Another tip is to use a monopole (one leg rather than the three on a tripod). It can easily be held in tight places (where you or a tripod cannot fit) and costs around $20.00.

Without that key knowledge you can't have a successful staging business no matter how talented you are. The home staging market is not saturated at all, but it's still important to know how to differentiate yourself from your competition. You'll learn how to do that and more in course 4: "Staging Diva's Sales and Marketing Secrets to Grow Your Home Staging Business." You can get this course for only $249, an amount you should be making back within an hour (or maximum 2 hours) with a client.

My thoughts are that there are a lot of home stagers out there, the home staging market is extremely saturated. How can I stand out among them all - do you have any advise? Also, what is your best advise on approaching Real Estate Agents versus home owners. P.S. I wish I had taken your course before spending money on the others. Hi Debra,

You should visit a proper camera store and ask for advice from a knowledgeable sales person. Don't get camera advice from someone who is just as likely to sell you a microwave oven or a big screen TV. Wanda, I use a Nikon Coolpix P5100 with a wide angle lens attachment.

I tell you there is absolutely nothing like the joy that comes from using our natural gifts to help others and earn a living at the same time. Suddenly there's no such thing as "work" and TGIF disappears from your radar! Looking forward to giving you all the tools you need to help you on this journey! Debra Hi Tricia,
