Turning Snapshots into Cash
Photography is a growing field for those interested in working from home. With the technological revolution people need
photos for just about everything. And people are willing to pay to get them for use on their sites, t-shirts, etc. The
possibilities are endless and all you need is a decent digital camera, creativity and internet access.
How can I make money with photography?
1> Stock Photo Sites:
On Demand sites that offer digital photos to web and print media are popping up everywhere and they are looking to the
public for photos to sell. Generally you upload pictures that they are looking for and make money when people buy the rights to use them
for their purposes.
2> T-Shirt Printers
Zazzle and Cafepress offer many different types of stuff that you can put photos and artwork onto. Calendars, clocks, mugs,
t-shirt, license plates, hats, even underwear. The nice thing here is that you only need supply the photo. They handle the
printing, shipping, customer service and everything. You get a cut of everyone they sell with your picture with no hassle on your part.
3> Ebay and Craigslist
Everyone knows that people like to see what they are buying and you can use your digital camera to present that item that's
been sitting in your garage for months and years, making you money. All you have to do is include a picture that you took
with your camera (and it doesn't have to be a super 12 megapixel SLR either), and that will go a long way towards selling
your item. Did you know that people that sell on Ebay Motors are often looking for photographers to take pictures of their
cars for the sales page?
4> Selling images yourself
Setting up a website to sell your own photos is easier than you think it is. In this way you can present your photos the
way you want to, with all the description and meaning that goes into the picture. For those who take a more artistic
approach to their photography, that is an excellent way to cash in.
5> Textures for 3D artists
3D artists are always looking for textures to put into their creations. A photo texture can make a wall in a game come
alive with realism just from a simple photograph. And there is a market for these types of images.
These are just a few of the many ideas on how to use a digital camera in today's internet age to make money. As we said
before, the list is endless and the more creative you are, the more money you'll make.
