Six Ways To Create Money Using Your Digital Camera These are hard times for many people, so it is a good opportunity to strive to earn from multiple income streams. Obviously, many people are doing this already with a part-time second job, but what if you could have more fun than working in MacDonald's on the weekend? Hilarious as that might be. Most people have a camera - even a digital camera. I say it like this because you have more control over the photo with a digital camera, so you have more chance of producing the picture that you want and this is important if you want to sell your work. Pet Portraits: numerous individuals like to have portraits of their beloved cat or dog. These photographs are not a problem to take, because animals are so photogenic. There are several ways you could play this or you could have several different alternatives, all at different rates Option One: six photographs of kitty in different situations on a CD Option Two: as above, but with the client's favourite digital picture printed out and framed. You would offer a choice of sizes and frames at different prices here. Option Three: as option one, but with an oil painting of the favourite picture again in different sizes and frames You can use a printing service for option two until you can afford to purchase your own printer. The oil paintings you can have done in the Far East from photos. Graduation Photos: are very much appreciated by parents and grandparents and once again, you could offer at least three different options. Graduation photos are a worthwhile idea because not everyone goes to their closest college or university and parents cannot always get there. Image Editing: numerous people have a digital camera or a cell phone that takes photos, but not everyone has a computer, or editing software or knows how to use it if they do have it. You could edit, crop, brighten and frame their amateurish photographs and make a lovely CD photo album. You could offer to make several themed photo albums from a jumble of hundreds of photographs that they have collected at random during the year(s). Photograph Presents: you could team up with a novelty present store or a personalized gift store and turn individuals's favourite photos into individualized, novelty presents. Photographs, particularly digital photos, can be transferred to almost anything nowadays: coffee mugs, beer mats, coasters, T-shirts, postcards, calendars, pens, ties, you name it. Framed Photographs: places like waiting rooms, front offices, pubs and restaurants like to have tasteful pictures on the wall. You could offer a set of photos on a theme to
every establishment according to what they want. A construction company may want photographs of the board and of their best jobs (presumably they are still standing). Pub landlords often move around a fair bit, so they could have a set of photos of taverns they have managed. Or a series of photographs of the current pub, with some historical captions. Prized Photos: numerous people with costly possessions like photographs of them - a beautiful home, boat, car or model. Go to the local marina, drive down an expensive street or go to an enthusiasts club meeting (go-kart racing, radio controlled models). Go to bouts or local fashion shows and offer photos to contestants or models.
