10 MORE Ways to Make Money with your Digital Camera
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.
