10 MORE Ways to Make Money with your Digital
Cameras
By C.S. Deam
1. Pet photos - advertise a Pet Photography business where you
photograph pets with their owners. Most owners won't struggle to take a
photograph with their pet all by themselves. You can be the one who
makes it easy on them. Not only can you charge for the service and your
time, but you can offer the photograph in it's digital form or as a
print that you can mail to them later - either created by your own photo
printer or by a photo processing service. 2. Fishing contests - be
around at the end of a fishing contest to take photographs of the contestants
that didn't even think about bringing a camera. Most fishermen are more
concerned about fishing than carrying cameras, and most fisherman also want a
picture of their stringer full of fish or the big one that they're going to have
mounted. 3. Parades - be in position to get great shots of folks and
floats in the parade and sell the prints back to the individuals or to their
family members. The folks who take part in the parades are often way to busy to
take pictures before or after, so someone who captures them in action might
really be doing them a favor - and a profitable service. 4. Landmark and
tourist photographer - if there's a famous landmark in your area, offer your
photography services to tourists who want their photo taken in front of it. Even
if the tourists are carrying a camera and get someone else to take their photo,
often the camera won't be digital with a display so it means the tourists won't
know how the picture turns out until they're long gone. With your digital
camera, you should be able to show them it's a good picture. 5.
Graduations - preschool, high school, or college graduations offer dozens, if
not hundreds of opportunities to capture a significant moment in someone's life.
If the family members of the graduate aren't located in as good a location or
don't have as good a camera as yourself - you'll have even greater opportunity
at getting the shots they couldn't. 6. Holiday Family Postcards - offer
your services to families that want their picture taken and put on a postcard
that they can send to their extended family and friends. By using your digital
camera you can not only get photo-postcards through online photo-processors, but
you can make the prints available in your online gallery and have the customers
refer their extended friends and family there to purchase a larger print if they
desire it. 7. Photo Novelty Items - take photographs of people that want
the pictures of themselves of their loved ones imprinted on coffee mugs, mouse
pads, keychains, tee-shirts, and other items. Usually you can find suppliers of
such photo-transfer merchandise and equipment in business opportunity
publications, such as "Mind Your Business 101: How to Select & Start Your Own
Business" 8. Used Car Photos - work out an arrangement to take snapshots
of cars for used car dealers who don't have photographs of their current
inventory. If any of the car dealers don't have websites that need photographs
you could, provide an additional service by learning how to make and maintain a
website of their inventory. 9. Promotional slideshow production - taking
digital photos of a convention, church, business, college campus, or other
promotable location - you can create a digital slideshow on Video CD or DVD for
your customers to promote their business, organization, or event. 10.
Newborn photo service - parents of newborns are some of the busiest people in
the world. Advertise your services on an on-call basis so that you can take
informal snapshots for the growing family either before they leave the hospital,
or after they get home. This way both parents and the child(ren) can be in more
of the pictures all together, and the parents have one less thing to try and
figure out. About The Author
