Get Paid to Take Digital Photos

Introduction

You’re reading this because you have two passions in life. First, you

love taking photos. You probably carry your camera everywhere with

you, just waiting for a chance to snap a candid shot that tells a little

story. That’s the art of photography and, if you’re reading this, you have

a passion for that art.

But then there’s your passion for money. Don’t worry, you’re not being

judged. It’s good to be motivated by money. It’s what makes the world

go ‘round, right? Or is that love? Point is, money may not bring

happiness, but it sure makes life a whole lot easier to get through.

And anyone knows that the best way to make money is to take what you

love and turn it into a business. Well, congratulations. You have taken

the first step towards making money doing what you love: Taking digital

photos.

Not many people know that you can make a good living just by selling

photos over the Internet. But once you become aware of just how many

photos we’re exposed to on a daily basis, the realization that you can

make money taking great photos should be a no-brainer.

Photographs Everywhere You Look

You would have to live in a shack out in the woods like the Unabomber

to not be exposed to literally hundreds of photographs per day. Think

about your daily life. If you ate breakfast this morning, there was 

probably a picture of someone on the cereal box. If you made coffee,

there might be a picture on the can, and that’s just in your kitchen.

There are photos on the billboards as you drive to work. There are

photos in the magazines when you sit in your dentist’s waiting room,

and you are bombarded with photos galore the moment you turn on your

computer and start browsing the Internet.

The point is, every industry needs photographs. And while there are

many experts out there who get paid very handsomely for the

photographs they churn out (think major magazine photographers),

amateurs are able to make great money doing what they love, too! that’s right. 

You don’t have to be a professional. You can go out right

now, pick up a digital camera and you can theoretically start making

money off of those photographs. And I’m going to show you how.

First, however, before you rush out thinking you’re the next Annie

Leibovitz, you need to consider if you have what it takes to make money

from your photos.

That can be a hard thing to ascertain, especially when you have a

passion for something. Because the truth is, you could enthusiastically

take loads and loads of pictures but there’s no guarantee that any of them

will sell.

To fail at something you love to do can hurt deep down in your core. But

you must remember that just because your photo doesn’t sell, doesn’t

mean you’re no good. It could be for a number of reasons.

The point is to have patience, and make sure you learn how it’s done

before you start selling your photos for money.
