You can begin selling them through istockphoto.com.\nMembership is free.  Once you have set up your account you can upload photos.  People can visit the site and pay to download photos for use in their website, brochure etc.  If someone downloads one of your photos you get a percentage of the sale.   It is a great way for an amateur to learn what types of pictures are marketable.

I have my own business.  I have started many business' before from a young age.  I started my current business as a finance coach about 2 years ago.  I do have schooling and background in what I do.  But, don't let that stop you if you don't.  \n\nFigure out what you want to do and if it excites you.  Then work toward what you need to make happen to have your business become a reality and go for it.  Don't listen to naysayers also known as dream stealer's.  Stay focused on your goals as long as they make you happy!  \n\nIf you have specific questions on doing this, email me.\n\nBest of luck.

photographers work as independant contractors for the most part. They usualy make one set price for a job. Not an hourly wage. No matter how good you are, you will only make what a company will pay you.\n==============\n1. I might pay you $50 for some family photos.\n2. A small business in your area might pay you $500 for employee photos for badges.\n3. A real estate company might pay you $2,000 for good photos of the homes they sell.\n4. Pepsi might pay you $120,000.00 for a magazine ad\n\nuse your imagination. Work with your area first, then move up a bit.

a lot of computer stores have intro courses on everything from the internet to digital photography. i would suggest making a few phone calls and finding one. they are inexpensive and they are a great tool for a novice and usually run for a few hours on one evening.

Go to a professional photographer - he/she will have ideas you never thought about.\n\nWe've had some great ones done - kids in the trees, all of us by some sea oats on a sand dune at the beach,  all of the kids piled onto my Harley by an American flag holding my college pennants, etc. (It really is as corny as it sounds, but we like it!)\n\nGo to a pro!

you have the right idea,,,,if you are under 18,, I would suggest trying to find a business partner of legal age,, if you are in the usa,, get a dba, a "doing business as" license,, you just need to decide on a name and register it,,,then perhaps use that same name as your domain name,,                \n                   yahoo has a great deal domain names for 4.99$ i think it is, then for less than 15 a month you could build a website with them,,,, again find a partner who can help you in this area,,, put some thought into your prices and what you want your website to look like,,, being a photographer you can probably put it together yourself very easily\n                   If you are limited money wise,, you could use your yahoo 360 page, or if your isp provides you with web-space use it, at least get the domain name... you can always use it with your e-mail and website,,, but do not rely on just the internet,, make flyers and put them around town,, tell your friends and family,,, maybe have special gran opening prices,,, etc,,, be a little creative if you have a digital cam,, lots of kids want their proms and graduation filmed,,, also weddings, anniversary parties, birthdays, charge resonably and you will make good money. I did it for extra money one summer.

Shouldn't this be under Small Busines and not Investing?  I would do my homework on this one if I were you.  You might live in the boonies where no one has computers, but otherwise, I'd imagine Digital Photography is putting those places out of business left and right.\n\nIn facy, why not go to www.bizbuysell.com and see if there are any for sale near you?\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Have as many family and friends help as possible.  \n\nYou could have somebody take pictures and just have a few professional taken.  Could even be after the wedding in a park or studio.  Or look in to a photography school or somebody looking for experience. Also applies for video.\n\nMake your own flower and centerpieces.  http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home has a great selection with ideas and step by step instructions.  $1-$2 fish bowls in the craft dept at walmart make great centerpieces.  You can even get them in color.  Fill them with water, colored water, floating candles, sand & shells, flowers.  \n\nCakes can be very easy to make.  Just make different size circles.  Layer them and add flowers to the top.\n\nYou don't need to hire a dj you can have premade cd's or somebody play them.\n\nThe stationary section in walmart has some really pretty invitations ready to print on the computer or if you are crafty do a search on the internet and get examples of premade ones and just make your own.\n\nWedding favors candy wrapped in tulle with a note tied to it..thanks for being a part of our sweet day.  You coudl make your own fortune cookies with and put whatever you want on the paper inside.\n\nDo searches on the internet. Usually you can make most things yourself.  Good luck and Congrats!  Hope some of this helps.\n\nhttp://www.cheap-chic-weddings.com/...\nThis site looked good for more information!
