Modern Boudoir Contract Template đź’‹

We get it. You’re an artist. It’s painful to even think about something as mundane as a boudoir photography contract.

The truth is, though, that without a contract, you are putting your career and your art on the line.

You are vulnerable to all kinds of unforeseen situations. What if you encounter a client who wants to control you and micromanage your creativity? Or a client who sells your photos for profit? Or doesn’t pay you on time (or maybe even at all)?

We know you don’t like to think about these things, but it is reality. That’s the reason that many boudoir photographers contract the services of a lawyer to write up contracts to manage their client relationships.

However, as you can imagine, this puts a pretty significant dent in your budget. Not to mention, your bottom line.

So what do you do?

You could hire a lawyer and pass the cost on to your clients with higher prices. But unfortunately, if your prices are too high, your clients may decide to go elsewhere.

You could ask individual clients to share the cost of lawyer fees. But that’s a great way to tarnish your essential relationships with customers.

If only you could create legal contracts to protect your work…without the added cost of hiring a lawyer. Click here to get your MODERN BOUDOIR CONTRACT TEMPLATE.

Domain name Ideas .ONE đź’ˇ

Besides the popular .com, .net, .org, there are a lot of additional TLD’s*. One of these is .ONE. Top Level Domain names are very useful to transform the entire domain name as a whole, without having an additional TLD. For example, Google is using goo.gl and LinkedIn is using Linked.in. We did some brainstorming and came up with a few domain names, mostly targeting the Italian market.

The issuer of this TLD has already reserved very popular domain names, such as panett.one, lim.one, mascarp.one to name a few. You are certainly familiar with the meaning of these words as shown below!

We have reserved some popular domain names that may be of interest to you.

  • Seduzi.one – Seduction – no further explanation needed
  • Abitazi.one – Abitazione – Means, dwelling, home – Maybe Habitat for Humanity rings a bell?
  • Affar.one – Affarone – Great deal in a sense, you made a great bargain with a purchase.
  • Edizi.one – Edizione: Edition. Great domain name for an online News blog or if you intend to write or sell 1st Edition products. The ‘One’ is figuratively also suggesting 1st Edition
  • Educazi.one – Education. Ideal domain name for online courses and educational books. Maybe rating website for Colleges and Universities?
  • Iniezi.one – Injection – A domain name for the medical field or blogging about … you know what I mean.
  • lozi.one – Lotion – for beauty or personal care related websites…
  • Ragi.one – Reason – inspired by an Italian News agency La Ragione
  • Selezi.one – Selection – inspired by the ‘Reader’s Digest’ publication. The Italian version (if still exists) is called ‘Selezione’.
  • Liquidazi.one – Liquidation. For auction houses and liquidation services. Popular these days as companies can sell their overstock online with this eye catching domain name

We are negotiating with domain name owners for similar high value domain names.

Another use for the .One TLD is for companies who market themselves as No. 1 in the business or have the word or number One in their registered name. Below a few ideas:

Liquidation.one This would be a easy to remember and compelling domain name for a liquidation project or company name.

Monochrome.one A great domain name for photo labs and/or photographers (product, landscape, real estate photography)

We hope this article is inspiring you.

 

 

* A TLD (top-level domain) is the most generic domain in the Internet’s hierarchical DNS (domain name system). A TLD is the final component of a domain name, for example, “org” in developer.mozilla.org.
