Just published, “99 Ways to Make Money From Your Photos” will get a lot of attention in these times of lost jobs, a soft economy and a proliferation of digital cameras offering amazing new technology that begs to be used.
PhotoPreneur is a community project of photography experts, marketers and specialists with years of experience “at the highest level of professional photography,” according to the authors of the 327-page 8×10 volume.
What ideas you don’t find in the book you’ll no doubt find on the Web site that is linked to “99 Ways.”
While the book details 99 potential markets for making money with your camera, the Web site continues to pursue that topic in even more depth.
Readers of the book will find detailed discussions about how to sell stock photos, become a local photojournalist, approach galleries; and how to build a commercial photography Web site. Those topics, and many others in the book, demand a good degree of skill and experience, of course. But many other topics are within reach of people who are “good” and getting “better” with their photography but aren’t yet polished photo crafters with their lenses.
For instance, selling posters of your photos, auctioning art on eBay, marketing images on Craigslist, decorating local cafes with your photos, selling wildlife images and even turning your pictures into coloring books.
But at least half the value of buying the book (from the http://blogs.photopreneur.com Web site for $27.72 via Amazon.com) is learning about the photo “blogs” Web site.
Like the book, the site is created, assembled and updated by professionals who also publish photography courses, photography books, photography e-books and blogs for photographers, bloggers, photo buyers, and photo enthusiasts, plus a lot more.
The whole marketing approach is set up to help people sell their photos, learn how to take more and better photos and how to find market contacts and tips for improving their craft to a point where they can make money with their photo passion.
All-in-all, the book and Web site are a winning combination that will keep you creating and expanding and selling for years go come. For every idea that doesn’t fit for you, there are five that should be just right. Take a look.
