Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sole purpose of this book is to provide you with some of the best money making ideas to come along in the photography field. Professional photography is a keenly competitive business. What sets the successful professional photographer apart from the struggling pack is a competitive edge. There is something unique about the content and/or the marketing of successful photographs. While any library or bookstore can offer you hundreds of titles about how to start a photography business, none of them tell you how to gain that so very necessary competitive edge over the rest of the professional pack. It takes unique ideas, creativity, and insight to set you apart from all the other striving photographers.Overlooked markets and unique sales and promotional opportunities exist in every town and city in the United States. In some cases these opportunities can be expanded worldwide. These are the creative ideas which separate the successful profitable photography businesses from those which struggle lamely and fail. All of these ideas and concepts are already at work by fast rising small photographic businesses in different parts of the country, so you can be assured these are money makers. You have only to use these ideas yourself and duplicate this success. Adopt them singly, or in groups to multiply their effectiveness. Use them to start the photography business you've always dreamed of, or to expand your already existing venture. Use your own imagination to combine separate ideas into a grand and unique photographic success.Herewith then are 58 of the best professional photographic opportunities ever developed. Any one of them will set you apart from the crowd and start you on the way to your own profitable and successful photography business. With these ideas anyone can make money with a camera who is willing to put a little practice into taking pictures. It's not that hard, but it is a lot of fun. Much better than flipping burgers or working behind a counter. Plus you set your own hours and have no limits to your income. This is an ideal business for full time or part time workers, students, housewives, or anyone looking to start a lucrative side business. You can work out of a home or dorm with little or no investment in equipment, so overhead is next to nothing. Most income is profit. The secret to success is not taking better pictures than other people but knowing how and where to market them. That's the real innovation needed to be successful in your photo based business, the knowledge of who will buy what, and how much they'll pay. And that is what this book is all about. Presented in the following pages are details of the most innovative and successful marketing plans for photography based businesses. You can pick one or several, start small, and then expand. And in each case these are not just speculations, but past proven successes already put to work by other successful entrepreneurs. As a bonus there is also a directory of additional photo and video opportunities.
