Instead of sitting on the images you took this past weekend, why not sell them instead?
Even if you didn’t have a client, and spent time with the family at one of the kid’s soccer games, chances are you took some great photographs. Why not find a way to turn them into some extra income? Take a look at these 12 ideas to make money with your photographs, and see how much you can get done this week.
1. Create a photo book. There is always opportunity – you just have to look for it.
