You don't need to hire a gallery and fill it
with masterpieces to earn money from your artistic
talent. Many companies use freelance artists to
meet their requirements. A good source of business
is greetings card manufacturers. Company addresses
are often on the back of cards, or alternatively,
ask for addresses at your local card shops, and
write for current requirements.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Every month, hundreds of different magazines are
published, all requiring photographs to brighten
the pages. Many of these are from amateur and
semi-professional sources. Just take a look at the
weekly women's magazines. You will see at least one
section of readers' photographs in each magazine,
with payment to each contributor.
With a good basic camera you can easily take
photographs of a standard suitable for magazine or
postcard use. Check out the magazines that cover
topics of interest and see if they encourage
contributions. Postcards usually have company
details on the reverse. Write to companies for
their requirements.
I would suggest you contact the International
Freelance Photographer Organisation. With 60,000
members worldwide, their aim is to help you make
money from your photography. Visit their website
www.aipress.com for more details.
Sell Your Photos
Photostockplus is a revolutionary concept that allows
you to upload and sell your work online. They actively
promote the stock database and our photographers to a wide variety of buyers guaranteeing you worldwide
exposure. They also provide you with the tools and client base to be successful; you keep 85% of the profits.
Images are sold on a royalty free basis which means there is a one time purchase fee for the unlimited use
of an image per buyer. You are free to sell your images over and over again and raise or lower prices as
you see fit. Unlike traditional agencies you are in control of your own work; you decide which photos to upload
and how much to charge for them. You maintain all rights to the photos. You can categorize and add
keywords to your images so they can be found by buyers.
Photostockplus.com markets its image database through many innovative means on the internet as well
as through industry specific resources. They have relationships with hundreds of companies on the look
out for fresh stock. Their sister website shares the identical photo database and is heavily geared and marketed towards the stock buyers
to help maximize your image sales.
Camera Dollars System
Most websites would be pretty dull without graphics of some form, which means there is a continuous demand for new photographs to use and people are paying incredibly high fees for
pictures - any and all kinds of pictures. So, in return, there are websites, like PhotoStockPlus, mentioned above, that
collect these pictures and then sell them. You don't need to be a professional photographer and you only need a basic
digital camera to earn from any photographs you take. There is also the opportunity to earn monthly residual
commissions from all the digital photos you submit online.
Brian Moore has come up with a system he shows you that allows you to partner very quickly and sell the simplest
of your digital pictures. For example, if you're going away at any time, just take a few extra pictures and you may end up paying for the entire trip!
Over 200 pages, topics include:
- How to ensure you are getting the best fee possible for each photo you upload online – find out how to ensure you are paid what your photos are really worth
- How to put yourself in a buyer’s shoes and always shoot to sell – find out what buyers are looking for and the easiest ways for you to deliver exactly what they need
- Who pays the highest rates – and how to get them to not just accept your work but beg for it!
- How to easily find websites that will practically beg you for your photos - and who’ll be willing to pay a premium for each photo you submit to them
- How to select the right keywords to use with your photos when you upload them online
- How to dramatically improve your chances of getting each one of your photos accepted by photo sites.
- What to take pictures of – find out what types of images are in the most demand
- How to make money in the competitive world of celebrity gossip sites – these tips will give you the advantage you need to begin dominating the competition
- How to take pictures of sporting events and sell them online – it’s not as difficult as you might think … in fact, follow these tips and it will be downright easy to earn money this way!
If that's not enough for you, you also get a bonus guide which shows you how to get paid to write online. Once again,
you don't need any experience, in fact, this system favours people with little or no writing experience and shows you
where people will pay you to write articles, blog entries, headlines, and other forms of online writing and even shows
you where you can get paid to edit various websites' clumsy typos!
This writing training manual alone contains well over 100 pages of valuable content.

MISCELLANEOUS IDEAS
ENGRAVING
A prospective kitchen table enterprise that can
offer various options for those seeking engraving
whether for decorative, celebratory, or
commemorative reasons, or else simply seeking to
have their personal possessions engraved and
consequently made less likely prospects for the
opportunist thief.
Engraving can take many varied forms from
etching onto glass, to simply printing names and
addresses onto key rings, making commemorative
plaques, and so on. Consult craft magazines for
essential equipment.
Your customers will come from all sections of
the community, from private individuals, to
jewelers shops, clubs and societies, sports centres
and so on.
PICTURE FRAMING
Here the demand is for high quality craftwork,
which if it can also come at a realistic price,
will command a steady stream of eager customers. As
for so many other craft and art services, a wealth
of 'how to' books are available to guide the novice
through to professional status as a picture framer.
Equipment need not eat too heavily into your
capital and can be located in most of the major
craftwork and model making magazines on the
newsagents' shelves, as well as in advertising
publications.
Customers might come from the general public,
via advertisements placed in the press or in shop
windows. Alternatively you could provide a service
to local artists and art shops, photographers,
antique shops selling antique prints, print and
poster shops and so on.
ACCOMMODATION ADDRESS SERVICE
The service provided is that of allowing others
to have their mail forwarded to your own or your
business address. Often the reason is one of
protecting the customers' own privacy; at other
times it's because customers live in accommodation
that isn't their own, and from which they have no
absolute entitlement to operate a business.
All you do is allow customers to use your
address, following which you will have their mail
forwarded to them on a prearranged basis. Take a
look at the many advertisements offering such
services in local papers, and the scope will no
doubt become apparent, particularly where an
attractive city centre or decidedly rural address
can be offered. It may be that certain customers
will have particular requirements; some might want
their post forwarding daily; some by recorded post;
some will be happy with a weekly delivery. Your
charges will be dependent upon what specific
requirements might be expressed.
Contact a few already established accommodation
address services for details of what charges and
special facilities they operate. Then take the best
from each.
