Best Ways For Making Money From Home With Digital Photography

I can't tell you enough how much I love working from home. I have time to do what I want and freedom to live my life. But many people do not yet realize how much money there is to make in the field of photography. With cameras getting better and better, it no longer takes 20 years of experience and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to make a great living from a camera.

Digital SLR cameras even at the entry level can cost $500 or more but can provide better quality than camera's that cost $2,000 and more only 10 years ago. But even a point and shoot digital camera can earn you some extra income and I will show you a few ways you can make do this.

One way to make some money with your digital photography is to sell your pictures on microstock websites. I currently make hundreds of dollars every month just by automatically selling pictures that I have taken for commercial purposes. People like web designers, bloggers, business owners and others need pictures to advertise products and services. If you take pictures that people are really needing and the quality of the image is good then you can make a few dollars a day with even a small portfolio. It's a great way to get started in the photography business.

Another method is to do some pet portraits. There are pet owners out there that are willing to pay top dollar for a great picture of their pet. Often the dog will need to be in the family picture as well, so knowing how to interact with people and pets would be a plus.

You can also take pictures of beautiful landscapes in your area and make your own calendar. There are many tools online that will help you make your own calendar and offer ways to sell it as well. People who live near you will love having a calendar with recognizeable and yet attractive places near their home and this will give the calendar some uniqueness as well.
