Earn Money With Your Camera

There is a lot of hype regarding working from home opportunities. Very few are actually legit. Starting a portrait photography business from home is a legitimate way to either supplement your income or make a living. You can earn money with your camera.

My wife has done this to supplement our income. She specializes in senior portraits. We hardly do any advertising since all of her business comes from referrals. It is also very flexible. My wife will sometimes take our 2 kids on a job if I am unable to watch them. You dictate your own schedule.

STARTING A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS FROM HOME does not require a lot of money or equipment. We started out with a Pentax DSLR ($400 new) and would borrow a friends flash when needed. When doing portraits, editing software is important to have. You can spend a ton of money on the latest version of Photoshop, for example, but you can get by with older versions or a less expensive program.

You don't need to set up a website at the beginning but they are nice to have when showcasing your work. Companies like Smugmug will host your pictures without having the hassle of designing a website.

There are many different ways to earn money with your camera: Senior pictures, anniversary parties, newborn photos, and family portraits.

If you have a passion for photography and can get your hands on a decent Digital SLR camera you can get started. It doesn't hurt to do your first couple of jobs for free (only charge your cost for the pictures you have to order) so that a portfolio can be built.

You can earn money with your camera and do something you are passionate about. How many people do you know that say they love their job?

Even in a tough economy, quality photographs are important to people. GET STARTED on your new career today!

ONLINE UNIVERSITY TO HELP YOU GENERATE INCOME FROM HOME

Wealthy Affiliate University has helped me to create my own websites and taught me how to promote them for free.  I will be honest, there is so much information that you could get distracted.  If you decide that you would like to give this a try, make sure that you don't get pulled in too many different directions.  Stick with one technique and perfect it.  This is not a "get rich quick" scheme.  Wealthy Affiliate instructs you on how to build income streams but it takes time and dedication.

Don't want to sign up to a monthly membership program?  The internet marketer known as PotPieGirl has created a 6 figure income with internet marketing.  Like myself, she had virtually no knowledge of how to earn income using the internet.  I have learned a lot from her.

A great place to start is with a Squidoo Lens.  By using Squidoo, you do not need your own website (although your own website is ideal once you get more comfortable with internet marketing).  You can write about a topic of interest to you and possibly make some money while doing so.
