This Article focuses on how to make money with your digital camera,
with low start up costs and high profit potential.


1. Real Estate - Photograph homes as a paid service to realtors
in your area. Since most newspapers and 'home for sale'
magazines feature photographs of the homes that are for sale,
your services can allow the realtors to spend more time earning
their living instead of taking pictures. Also, with the
popularity of the internet, most real estate agencies have
websites with featured homes or searchable listings. These
websites usually need good photographs as well.

2. Amateur sporting events - elementary, junior high, or high
school sporting events offer a great opportunity for taking
photographs of peoples kids in action. By getting good shots of
their kids, you'll be able to offer great photographs to proud
parents who don't own cameras, or forgot to bring them, or
didn't have the great shots that you got.

3. Digital Image Collections - bundle hundreds of photographs
onto a single CD rom and sell as a royalty-free package for web
designers and graphic artists that don't want to take time from
their areas of interest in order to take photographs.

4. How-To Projects - photograph the progression from start to
finish of a particular project and put a few explanations with
it and then offer it for sale as a 'How To ....." guide.

5. Insurance Records - offer your photography services to
property owners who want to document their possessions for
insurance purposes. Offer the final photographs on a CD. An add
on business would be to have a written itemization for all the
items, which could be included with the CD.

6. Child Safety Identification - not all parents have recent
photographs of their children. By offering photography services
as part of a Child Safety ID business you are doing a service to
improve children's safety. Additional services could include
recording fingerprints and a hair sample.

7. Digital Image Website - by putting high quality or
interesting photos on a website you can create a cyber-gallery
from which people can by prints. Many online photo-processors
want you to do this because it means additional income for them
too. Just upload, email, or send the online photo-processor your
digital images and arrange them into albums. Many
photo-processor's provide online tools so that you don't have to
build your own website, or know how to run expensive photo
editing software. Every time someone buys one of your photos
from your gallery, the photo-processor makes a buck, and so do
you.

8. Publish Church Directories - most churches want directories
of the families and other members of their congregation or
parish. By using your digital camera, careful documentation, and
a some software you can create a church directory that include a
photo of each family or individual, as well as their contact
information. Your directory doesn't just have to be a printed
out version, it could also be an online version. However, due to
privacy concerns, some churches may not want their members
contact information to be publicly available via the world wide
web.

9. Selling Scrapbooks of Events - if you're a Scout leader or a
participant in a family or class reunion, you could be the
person who takes pictures of the big event, compiles it into a
easy-reading visual scrapbook, and sells it to others who were
at the event. Everyone wants a souvenir and reminder of a good
time, and as memories fade, a quality scrapbook would be
something most people appreciate.

10. Freelance photographer - go to public events and take
photographs of the goings-on. Immediately contact local
newspapers and magazines about the availability of your
photographs and work out the details of how they prefer to look
at the images you've captured. You never can tell when a
publication didn't know about the event in the first place.
