How to Make Money with Your Digital Camera
December 09, 2008 by
Ah, the digital camera.
Who doesn't have a digital camera these days? To be honest, I didn't have one until Christmas 2006. I had resisted buying one because I was happy with my 35mm camera.
I have been taking pictures for a long time. As a kid I had a camera that used 110 film and Polaroid cameras were a must
have.
By the time I got to high school, I desperately wanted a 35mm film SLR (single lens reflexive) camera and take photography. Financial issues kept me from that. So, I just continued to take pictures with best point and shoot cameras I could find.
The reasons I finally got a digital camera were two-fold. First, I really didn't like to pay for film development. With the amount of pictures I took, I could easily go broke. For example, at my mother's birthday party, the year before, I had my trusty film camera. I don't remember how many rolls of film I took, but processing for all prints cost about $100. Whoa!
The second reason I ended up getting a digital camera is because I found one with a good price at Wal-Mart when the still had layaway. So, that's what I did. I bought myself a "serious amateur" level Kodak digital camera. It felt good.
The best feeling was being able to delete the pictures I didn't want. And believe me, the money savings there was enough to convince me.
So what about you?
Are you shooting with a point and shoot? A serious amateur level camera where you can adjust the settings? Or have you upgraded to a digital SLR (DSLR)?
Whichever camera you have, there is potential for you to make money with it. There are so many types of photos that people need and are willing to pay for, that you could keep yourself busy taking photos for extra pocket money or as a career.
A word of caution: This article is not about how to take photographs. There are many technical and non-technical books and articles for that.
This article is for those of you who want to make money with your digital camera. Plain and simple.
There are enough ideas here for you to work on once per week and you'll be busy for the entire year.
