How To Make Money In Photography

how to make money with photography

You recently finished a shoot. The client hired you, and paid your nominal session fee (somewhere in the range of $50 – $250, most likely). You spent hours editing the 125+ images you shot.

You showed them the images, and, as you were flipping through your beautiful work, they told you they were on a tight budget. At the end of the meeting, they decided to purchase a few 8X10’s totaling $100.

How I Made $4,513.43 in Passive Photography Income in 11 Months

Stack of CoinsI cannot tell you how often I’d been asked by a friend or client what camera I would suggest they buy.

Last year I had a TON of people asking me that question, and I got tired of writing out a specific response to each one of them.

So I wrote a blog post about What DSLR Camera To Buy and started simply sending people to that post.

That post made me $145.38 in 2 months simply by telling people to visit that post instead of writing it out each time to every person that asked. So easy. This was the start of my search for passive income to supplement our regular photography income.

You can do it too. It’s super-easy to set up, and it can add significant money to your yearly income if you put some time and effort into it.  [Click to read more]
