The Purpose Hotel

7/19/2016

I've written a lot about the importance of giving back. Well here's a project with a Kickstarter campaign that leaves me struggling to find the right words. It could well be the most amazing idea I've ever heard, and all under the topic of giving back. It's the Purpose Hotel and Jeremy Cowart explains it all in the 3 1/2 minute video below. It's an amazing idea and a chance to give back in a very special way...all over the world!

Imagine a hotel where everything has a purpose and focuses on a different need. The tagline just about says it all -

"Change the world while you sleep."

Watch the video and then join me in a donation to the Kickstarter campaign. Just click on the image above to find out the many ways you can help.

Need Help With Pricing?

It's not rocket science and profit isn't a dirty word. Bad pricing is one of the most critical mistakes artists make.

Help is just a click away. Check out the previews for Skip's Lynda.com series on "Starting a Photography Business" and "Pricing."

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.
