Do you know anyone who lost their job recently? Maybe it was YOU, or your Mom or Dad? It’s a scary time out there but it doesn’t have to be. Did you know that Digital Photography is one of the largest and fastest growing hobbies in the World? Yes that is right! If you have camera, than you may be sitting on a Gold mind that you haven’t discovered. Most people don’t realize how easy it is to actually make money with a Digital Camera. Even if you don’t have the most professional camera, many companies, even in your local area are looking for digital photos of all types of things. I discovered that many of the local magazines and publications in my area were in need of photos. Many of them don’t have full time photographers and most times outsource the work. Especially in today’s economy, it makes sense they would do this. Aside from local publications, there are a billion places online to sell photos and artwork. If you have Photoshop or Illustrator, you can start getting creative and turn 1 image into 5 or 10 different images if you like. You could sell all 10 variations of the same image! If you can’t afford Photoshop or Illustrator, here is an awesome Photoshop Clone:

Selling photos online, doesn’t mean you need your own business, or even your own website. Some online services even provide a website for you to sell your work on. Normally you would have to hire a web designer, get a merchant account, setup a credit card, etc. With today’s technology that is a thing of the past. Outside of the photo networks, you can also build your own website online, free of charge in a matter of minutes with a Site Builder. Several companies have been experimenting to put together, “Do It Yourself” systems that make building a website a breeze. Google has caught on to this and came up with their own version, which can be found at: http://sites.google.com/
Here are a few others:
Okay, now that you have the tools you need, start taking Photos of everything. Get out your digital camera and start shooting. If you don’t have a digital camera, or you can’t afford one, find out how to get a cheap digital camera by clicking here.
Once you have shot enough images and feel pretty comfortable with your digital camera, start looking online to find out what other Photographers are taking pictures of. See what is selling on some of the top sites, such as,
Really dig deep into these sites and see what others have to say. See if any of the photos are rated and see which ones come up on the home page. Some of these sites have quality guidelines when selling though, so you have to read their Terms and Conditions pretty thoroughly. Some of these big photo networks may be too competitive for you though if you are just starting out. My best advice is to really focus on selling photos to your local area. You can shoot photos of kids at the local baseball games, soccer games, football games, etc. and sell the photos to the parents. You could talk to all the restaurant managers at any of your local restaurants and see if they need any photos for upcoming ads or menu additions. Is your community growing? Are there new businesses popping up? Go to your local City Chamber and ask them if they can provide you a list of all the companies in your are or coming soon businesses. Usually the have a list and sometimes it is a paid list, but is usually worth it. Depending on where you live this business list can be anywhere from $15-$50, but again, it will give you an entire list of Names, Numbers and Addresses.
If you are really serious about making cash with your digital camera, you should download this Ebook which shows you step-by-step how to start your own Photography Business and make INSANE CASH from your local area, just using your Digital Camera.
