These are hard times for numerous people, so it is a good time to try to earn from multiple earning streams. Obviously, numerous people are doing this already with a part-time second job, but what if you could have more fun than working in MacDonald's on the weekend? Hilarious as that may be.
Most individuals have a camera - even a digital camera. I say it like this because you have more control over the picture with a digital camera, so you have more chance of producing the photo that you want and this is vital if you would like to sell your work.
Pet Portraits: many people like to have portraits of their beloved cat or dog. These photos are not difficult to take, because animals are so photogenic. There are a number of ways you could play this or you could have several different alternatives, all at different rates
Option One: six photos of kitty in different situations on a CD
Option Two: as over, but with the client's favourite digital image printed out and framed. You should offer a variety of sizes and frames at different prices here.
Option Three: as option one, but with an oil painting of the favourite image again in different sizes and frames
You could use a printing service for option two until you can afford to purchase your own printer. The oil paintings you can have done in the Far East from photographs.
Graduation Photos: are very much appreciated by parents and grandparents and once again, you could offer at least three different alternatives. Graduation photos are a good idea because not everybody goes to their nearest college or university and parents cannot always be there.
Picture Editing: many people have a digital camera or a cell phone that takes photographs, but not everybody has a computer, or editing software or knows how to use it if they do have it. You could edit, crop, brighten and frame their amateurish photos and create a nice CD photo album.
You could offer to create several themed photo albums from a jumble of hundreds of photographs that they have collected at random during the year(s).
Photograph Gifts: you could team up with a novelty present store or a personalized gift store and turn clients' favourite photographs into personalized, novelty gifts. Photos, especially digital photos, can be transferred to almost anything these days: coffee mugs, beer mats, coasters, T-shirts, postcards, calendars, pens, ties, you name it.
Framed Photos: places like waiting rooms, front offices, taverns and restaurants like to have tasteful pictures on the wall. You could offer a set of photos on a theme to every establishment according to what they would like. A construction company might like photographs of the board and of their best jobs (presumably they are still standing).
Pub landlords frequently move around a fair bit, so they could have a set of photographs of taverns they have owned. Or a series of photos of the current pub, with some historical captions.
Prized Photos: numerous people with costly possessions like photos of them - a beautiful home, boat, car or model. Go to the local marina, drive down an expensive street or go to an enthusiasts club meeting (go-kart racing, remote controlled models). Go to bouts or local fashion shows and offer photos to contestants or models.
