Article: The most important tool you'll need in order to kill ivy is a sharp pair of clippers or loppers, depending upon the thickness of the vines. Older vines can grow as thick as one's arm, while newer vines are as thin as flower stems. In addition to gathering appropriate cutting supplies, put on a thick pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands as you pull the ivy back. One by one, walk around the tree and cut through every vine growing up the tree at ankle height. Even one remaining uncut vine can nourish the ivy further up the tree, so it's important to make sure no vine is left behind. For very old, thick vines, use a handsaw to carefully saw through the vine. As you work, be careful not to make cuts on the tree itself. Ivy weakens trees and makes them more susceptible to disease. Cutting through the bark could cause further damage. Use the same technique to cut all the vines again. This time, pull the cut sections of vines gently from the tree as you go. By making two cuts and pulling away the section of ivy at the bottom of the tree, you're blocking the vines higher up the tree from getting essential nutrients, and they'll soon die. Put the cut vines in a pile, then mulch them later so they won't take root again. As you pull the cut vines from the tree, be careful not to remove too much bark with the holdfasts. The same method works for removing ivy from outdoor walls. Take a close look to make sure no vines were left uncut. Cut and remove any you happen to find, taking care not to damage the bark. If the tree is surrounded by a mat of ivy on the ground, you'll need to remove the ivy from the ground and control its growth so that it won't climb back up the tree. Removing a donut-shaped mat of ivy from around the base of the tree is sometimes referred to as a "lifesaver" cut. Here's how to do it: Start by cutting a line through the ivy along the ground, from the base of the tree to a distance 46 feet (1.21.8m) away. Cut several more lines radiating from the tree. Cutting the ivy into sections will make it easier to remove. Make a cut that connects all the lines 46 feet (1.21.8m) from the base of the tree. Start pulling up the mats of ivy section by section. Keep removing ivy until you've cleared the area around the base of the tree such that no ivy reaches within 46 feet (1.21.8m) of it. Now that you've cleared the base of the tree, the ivy growing above shoulder height will begin to shrivel and turn brown. Do not attempt to cut away or pull off vines that have grown above your shoulders. Yanking off the holdfasts will pull away the tree's bark, leaving it susceptible to disease. The dead ivy will look unattractive at first, but eventually the leaves will fall away and it will become less noticeable. After you've taken these measures, check back every few weeks to make sure new ivy isn't crawling in the vicinity of the tree. When you find some, cut it away.

When you're starting a freelance photography business, you need a website to showcase your work so prospective clients can see what they can expect. You can also use your site to allow potential customers to get in touch with you, schedule your services, and deliver your finished photos. Make sure the site is easy to navigate, and contains only your best photos. If you don't know much about building a website, WordPress is a good place to start because they have templates and themes designed specifically for photography. It's a good idea to incorporate a blog into your website. Post a new photo with entry, so clients can see what you've been up to recently. In addition to a website, social media is an ideal way to market your services online. Photography is a visual medium, so a great photo can quickly go viral and familiarize potential clients with your work. Create Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts, so you can show off your work in a setting where it's much easier for people to share it. Include links to all of your social media accounts on your website, so potential clients can easily find them. Word of mouth can be an effective way for freelance photographers to get new clients, so it helps to have business cards that you can give to family, friends, and existing clients. They can pass the cards onto people they know who might be interested in your services. Create a distinct look for your business cards by including one of your photos on it. It can be a self-portrait so clients remember you specifically or a photo that you're particularly proud of and showcases your skills. Make sure that your cards contain all of your contact information, including your web address. You want potential clients to be able to find your online portfolio. Hopefully, word of mouth will spread about your photography skills, but you don't want to wait around for jobs to come to you. By making connections with related businesses, you may be able to find new clients. For example, if you want to work as an event photographer, you might contact wedding or party planners, catering halls, and other event-related businesses to introduce yourself and your work. That way, if a person planning an event asks for a recommendation for a photographer, your contact can pass your name along. If you're interested in working as a commercial or product photograph, you might try to find a contact at a marketing or public relations firm. When you're just starting out as a freelance photographer, building word of mouth is key. That's why it often helps to do some jobs for free -- you can gain experience and generate a buzz with potential clients. If you're specializing in special event or portrait photography, ask family and friends if they need any photographs taken. If you hope to break into commercial or product photography, see if there are any small businesses in your area that might allow you to shoot photos for their marketing materials. You may also want to consider holding sessions where you don't charge for the session itself. Instead, the clients only pay if they decide to purchase prints from you. That can be an effective way to lure new customers in and still make some money. Make sure to ask all of your free clients for testimonials after you take the photos. If they're positive, you can use them in your promotional materials or as references for potential clients. If your free clients have any criticisms of your work, use them to improve your skills and services.
