How To Make More Doing Exactly What You're Doing Now

I know you. You're a lot like me.

I'll bet when you are out with your family for the weekend, you bring your camera just for fun.

And I'll bet when you photograph a wedding or event, you take a lot of fun photographs just for you, even though you may not know how to sell them.

Am I right?

The great thing about taking a photograph is there is more than one way to sell it.

Have you ever considered selling your images to a stock agency?

Don't discount this idea. Sure, you might not make it big with one or two photographs. But imagine putting up a few images every week, and having just a few people buy them. You can easily bring in a two, three, even four figure amount every month with just a little bit of work.

Just because you take a photograph of a cake at a wedding doesn't mean you can't sell it to others. Just take a look at this photo, which has been downloaded 486 times.

Or even your local stop sign can really add up. Take a look at this photo, which has been downloaded 126 times.

At your next wedding, event, or even a day off, spend a few minutes photographing the things most people miss. The cake. The gifts. The gardens. And yes, even the stop sign.

Then head over to a stock house like iStockphoto. In just a matter of minutes, you can set up an account. Once you're approved, begin adding your favorite images. And you'll be on your way.

Many people talk about having income from a variety of sources. This is an easy way to do it - doing what you love. Give it a try.
