Photography, not just for professionals

Hey guys,
Yeah, I'm back. I've been trying to think up plenty of ways you can make money from home. Here's a quick and simple way to start making some revenue money and maybe quick money as well.

A lot of people love photography and everywhere you look you see examples of this. Ad pages in mags., newspaper photos and everyone's living room wall. Some of these pictures are professional and some are done by people just like you. What sets the standard for the difference? Getting paid. That's right, an amateur took a picture and someone paid them for it and they became an instant professional. Sound too simple? Well, it is.

These days most everyone has a digital camera, even one on their phone. Am I a believer of digital, HE__ yes!!. Digital is like cell phones and computers and even electricity-----, I wonder how we got through life without any of these things.
So, you don't have a lot of money to invest but I'll bet you have most of the things I just named. Right? Right. So we'll just start with the basics. You have a fairly decent camera and can upload them to the computer and you have internet or you probably wouldn't be reading this.

Go take some fabulous pictures, we all have. It is that easy. Then search stock photos on the computer. It will give you lists and then you join and some are free, some require a membership. (I always go for free). Then, you post the photos to the site, enter contests. It becomes addictive and you will try to outdo other pictures. Anyway, stock photos are photos that other's look at and buy. You know, ad people and that kind of thing. You'll start recognizing photo opportunities everywhere you look and just get better and better.

This is just one idea and I have a few others I will post soon. Just get the wheels rolling on this one.

Here are a couple of stock photo sites you might start with:
