These are difficult times for numerous people, so it is a good opportunity to try to earn from multiple income streams. Obviously, numerous people are doing this already with a part-time second careers, 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 put it like this because you have more control over the image with a digital camera, so you have more chance of producing the photograph that you want and this is vital if you want to sell your work.
Pet Portraits: numerous individuals like to have portraits of their beloved cat or dog. These photos are not a problem to take, because animals are so photogenic. There are several ways you could play this or you could have several different choices, 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 picture again in different sizes and frames
You can 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 photos.
Graduation Photos: are very much appreciated by parents and grandparents and once again, you can offer at least three different choices. Graduation photos are a worthwhile idea because not everyone goes to their closest college or university and parents cannot always be there.
Photograph Editing: numerous people have a digital camera or a cell phone that takes photos, but not everyone has a computer, or editing software or understands how to use it if they do have it. You could edit, crop, brighten and frame their amateurish photographs and make a nice CD photo album.
You could offer to create several themed photograph albums from a jumble of hundreds of photographs that they have collected at random during the year(s).
Photo Presents: you could team up with a novelty gift store or a personalized gift store and turn people's favourite photos into personalized, novelty presents. Photographs, especially digital photographs, can be transferred to almost anything these days: coffee mugs, beer mats, coasters, T-shirts, postcards, calendars, pens, ties, you name it.
Framed Photographs: places like waiting rooms, front offices, taverns and restaurants like to have tasteful pictures on the wall. You could offer a set of photographs on a theme to each establishment according to what they would like. A construction firm might like photos of the board and of their best jobs (presumably they are still standing).
Pub landlords often move about a fair bit, so they could have a set of photos of taverns they have managed. Or a series of photos of the current pub, with some historical captions.
Prized Photographs: numerous individuals with expensive possessions like photographs 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, radio controlled models). Go to bouts or local fashion shows and offer photos to contestants or models.
