Need help learning how to use your DSLR? Can’t figure out your CS5 or PSE8 editing software? Have no idea how the heck aperture and ISO effect your pictures? I recommend joining Clicking Moms. It is an amazing message board started to help mom photographers, professional and amateurs alike. I joined back in January and wonder what I did without it.
This is not one big massive message board, no, it is a message board with many separate boards for different topics such as:
- Beginners, both in photography and editing
- General post processing
- General photography chit chat
- Written and video tutorials in both photography and editing
- Hard core critique where you can offer a picture up for constructive criticism
- Photography business where you can get or give helpful tips and advice about photography as a business
- Pay it forward, where you share neat, free things such as templates and actions that you’ve found around the Net
- Used equipment board, where you can sell and buy lenses, bags, cameras, flashes and more (I bought my macro there)
- Group buy and discount board where vendors offer products and services at a special group rate (this board is dangerous, enter with caution
)
Those are not the only things you’ll find there, just the ones I frequent the most. I have learned so much about photography and editing since joining and only wish I had bought the year pass ($50) instead of the six month pass ($30).
If you are interested in my Everyday Elements workshops, or have taken one in the past and plan to take another, you would receive another perk because I offer Clickin Moms a special rate on my workshops.
Now, I want to be very transparent here… Clickin Moms is having a little contest right now to grow their membership. They have offered some prizes for those who bring in a certain number of new members. If you click through my link (or click on image above or in sidebar) then I get a little return “love” from Clickin Moms. To thank you, I will show “love” to you by sending you an exclusive file with five of my actions, which will work in both PSE and PS. Just email me after you sign up, letting me know your username so that I can verify it on my affiliate page, then I will email you the zip folder with the actions.
Joining right now is a win/win for you because they have a special discount active during the contest too. If you enter FRIEND in the coupon box at checkout you get 10% off any subscription. And, if you’re sure you will love it like I do, you can sign up for a lifetime membership, meaning a one time fee, and get 20% off by entering LOVECM in the coupon box.
If you are already a member (and you’ve made it this far in the post), leave me a comment with your user name and I’ll “befriend” you.
My user name is unique and hard to remember, so you may want to write it down: amandapadgett. Sorry, just had to add that.
p.s. Reading back over this I see that I got a little
happy. Sorry.
Heehee

Great description of all of the benefits of CM! I will definitely be renewing when my subscription expires in November.
Well shoot! I just signed up 2 days ago!!!! I would have loved to sign up through you! My username is: almotaroses. Can I still be your friend? hehehe
Awesome. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Clickin Moms, but have been skeptical. I just signed up for 6 months using your link and code. My username is “lynda”. Can’t wait to get involved!
