9th March 2010

Here are five easy ways for you to earn money with your digital camera.The following five tactics have been taken from 15 Ways to Make Money with Digital Photography, which is online now along with other resources at my website. These five ways are currently in use by other photographers as right now. By learning early how to start turning your photographs into dollars you can proceed more quickly into the role of the professional photographer.

Method One: Selling Stock Photography
You can start by submitting some of your best images to stock photography sites that pay royalties to you when someone purchases your photo for use. Several stock photography sites are online today and more are jumping in every day. Shop around. Read reviews and choose a couple you’d like to start with and upload your best shots.

Method Two: Screensavers
Screensavers are downloaded hundreds of thousands of times a day on high-traffic sites that serve them. Perhaps a collection of your best work would make a good series of images for a screensaver? They have to get those sweet screensaver photos somewhere. Obvioulsy they are purchased from fantastic photographers like you.

Method Three: eBay Sellers
Most people just can’t capture good product shots, but you can. Right? Wonderful. Better product shots make better looking products, and often more sales. Many eBay power sellers know this and pay a local photographer (or a friend who knows how) to take photos of the products for them. A good digital camera, a portable light box and a clean backdrop and this business goes anywhere.

Method Four: Wedding Photography
Always in demand the wedding photographer is paid to capture that special day. Because of this demand there is also plenty of competition. Browse through your local directory and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Love for the art and a keen eye will help to set you apart from the crowd. You will most likely have to offer your services up cheap to family and friends to get a little experience and some good shots for your online portfolio. Once you’ve done this be sure to exhibit your best work on your website.

Method Five: Restaurant Photographer
From product shots for menus to capturing the atmosphere for the restaurant’s website, they have work for someone. How many restaurants are in your city? I’m guess that even if you’re in a small town there should still be restaurants in your area that would appreciate your help. More importantly, they’d be willing to pay for your time.
