Happy New Year PEOPLE! #headshotcrew365 rocked Instagram in 2017!!
HEADSHOTCREW365
I'm fired up for the New Year and I hope you are too. We have a ton of things up our sleeve this year to keep everyone moving forward with their work. I'm excited for what's coming down the pike and want to thank all of you for the supportive environment that has been created within the Headshot Crew.
We'll continue to come up with some fun challenges to do, so here's one! I'd like all of you to get your Intstagram accounts fired up this year and we are going to help! We are doing a 365 day challenge. I want each of you to post one shot a day for a year. Doesn't really matter what it is, would be nice to somehow be photo related although I'm sure I'll throw in some shots of my girls! Whether it's a headshot or not no biggie, the point is to post daily. I just want one shot per day for 365 days and everyone is going to hashtag it #headshotcrew365 Thanks to Karaminder for coming up with that one.
So start tomorrow and we'll be off to the races. By the end of the year that hashtag should be packed with some really cool imagery. Also, keep track of your following, know where you started tomorrow. You can put your instagram name and number of current followers in the link below and we can cross check it a year from now! I'm peter_hurley and have 45.3K followers right now.
Hope you are up for it.
Happy New Year!
Peter

Love the pony pictures, Robert. I was riding dressage for about 8 years but gave it up to support my photography habit and pay the rent on my NYC apartment. Did some equestrian photos during that time. Miss my pony like mad.
Thanks for the feedback! My youngest (Kai) rides competitively - hunter, but moving into eventing - so we spend a lot of time at the barn and at shows: "shoot what's around you" quickly turns into "shoot horses".
Once horses enter your soul, there is no escape.
Robert: I just realized you're an Ottawa guy! I'm not that far from you and travel into Ottawa regularly to visit friends. :)
North Bay is almost like neighbours! Would love to meet up next time you're in Ottawa.
I'll be eligible for a wingman on Jan 19 ... if you're interested.
Of course.
Next time I'm in Ottawa I'll reach out (to bad I'm just realizing now I was just there a couple weeks ago). Next time I'm almost guaranteed to be there is May as I've not missed a ComicCon yet (yes I'm a huge geek).
Feel free to add me on FB if you use it: https://www.facebook.com/chris.a.noakes
Awesome. Weather is much better in May.
No Facebook here, I'm afraid. Made that choice when the kids were younger (now both teenagers) and no regrets.
Don't blame you (two teens here as well). Ok I'll reach out here and we'll set something up next I'm heading out your way.
Every day!... Wow, that's going to be quite the challenge for me.
I think it will be interesting just to see how long I last, lol!

I did the '2016 Best Nine Photos' thing and it tells you how many photos you posted in 2016 and how many likes you received. It might be interesting to cross reference that as well. Head over to: https://2016bestnine.com.
For me 2016 was:
250 posts
16,646 likes.
Next year, I'm going to beat that!
Good idea! I did it too. Mine was 218 posts and 98,915 likes. Going to toast it next year!
196 posts, 377,480 likes. :-)
Show off. :P
I'm digging up this thread from last year for an update.
I devoted most of my social networking to Instagram this year.
I gave it hard on the headshotcrew365 hashtag this year, but fell off track mid October when I left to NYC for PPE. Before that. I think I only missed one day.... but after that life got in the way.
For me 2017 was:
313 Posts
102,388 Likes
I'm at 8,481 followers... an increase of 7,202 since the start of the year.
PRETTY STOKED!

I'm starting my 6th year without a smart phone soon. Although, I might get one this year for professional reasons. This is why my Instagram use has been slow and photo every day might not be realistic for me. I manage to steal my wife's phone every now and then to post something. :)

Great challenge, though it could be a tough one for me to post daily when we're traveling!

I have only ever used my instagram account for headshots. This will certainly force me to get my web page put together so that Instagram can be for personal projects as well.

CAn you set instagram to share to your business facebook page instead of your profile page?
Get on this, guys. I posted my first one about an hour ago and have picked up like 5 new followers since then. this is going to be awesome for us.
Find me at:
@benmarcumphoto
as of right now I am at 1348 followers. I want over 10k by the end of 2017. let's get on it!
8,947 likes to 110 posts...I'm going to destroy those numbers.
I love a good 365 challenge. Started one once and it lasted 3 years. OK, I'm on it. Gotta do some editing but will be posting before the day is out. Happy New Year, HS Crew! I'm suepea on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/suepea/. Looking forward to following you all.
Happy new year guys! That's a great idea. I'm in. tony_taafe_photo and 463 followers.

Psyched! Not sure how to tell how many likes, but 13 posts and 69 followers - @daviduczenphotography
I'll try but they might be mostly of my kids.
@carapaiukphotography 27K followers (I am really not as cool as that number sounds. I promise. I do some writing too and that is where most of my followers came from I think).
ok. This is SO misleading. I did the best 9 - 224 posts in 2016 and 108,888 likes. I swear it's because of my writing. If you can get the word "vagina" in the Times, people start following you everywhere. My twitter is nuts too and I barely use it.
I like how you're trying to downplay your apparent awesomeness. ;)
Great idea! Just set up my Instagram, something I've been meaning to do for a while now. @petecocophotography. See you all there.

My best headshot crew supporters on Instagram are Mike Schact, Paul Howard, Jane Haas, Anita Watkins, and Helen hit me up fairly regular. Probably missed a few.
Thanks for the support!

I created a calendar a task to check stats on 12/31/17.
Included stats from 1/1/17 in the appointment so I don't have to look it up.
