How to Combine IM & Photography to make Money$??

If you take great "people" shots, (look at ebook covers web sties etc. to see what kind,) I think a WSO with some "warrior exclusive" no royalty photos would go over very well.

George Wright, P.S. Don't forget the legal stuff, model releases etc.

There's quite a bit you can do with that combination. Since you love
photography, I presume, you can become an affiliate for photography
related items. But as you know it's a huge market, but actually that's
a good thing. So you can choose a sub-niche of photography that has
good traffic, and the people in that market spend money - probably do,
and there are profitable phrases/kw's you can rank for without too hard
a time.

You can do that, and it will keep you busy.

You can also do something along the lines of taking pictures of your
surrounding area, let's say wherever you live has some tourism industry
for example. Then you can build a site with your photos on it, write some
good content for the photos. Create categories - SEO.

Then you can monetize the site in a lot of different ways. Hopefully you
can rank fairly easily for some terms with good traffic.

Those are just two quick ideas, and you can do a lot with each one. There
is also a fair amount of room for growth for each one.

Also, you can create review sites based on your own experiences, etc, and
sell different things from them.

Lots of alternatives and options for you. It will all require some work and
patience on your part to get them going and up to speed. But if you like
photography and IM, then you'll enjoy doing it.

Thanks, lots of great info so far......

Ive come up with a few ideas that i will share now so you can tell me if im on the right track or not.

One idea would be to advertise to people on classified sites(Ex.craigslist) that are trying to sell items, most prefferably large price items like cars,trucks,boats etc.
I would either offer a one time fee to take pictures, touch them up, and post the ad to the classified site. I would also take video and use if it came out ok. But i could take the pictures and create a video with them and post to video sites like you tube. After doing so, and the customer is happy they would pay me!

The other way would be to do basically all the same stuff, but instead of just getting paid after doing so, i would get paid a percentage of the sale!

Now, a whole other idea i just brainstormed would be to work with real estate agents. I would do all there photos and retouching for there listings. And then again create some sort of video from the pictures and post to video sites. Also could do all there classified postings as well. I would think that a predetermined price for each listing would be the best way to go! The only thing is that i dont really know how many agents would be interested in something like this.
Ive seen on some reality shows where agents out in California selling Multimillion dollar homes would use a pro photographer for there listings. but being that i dont live there and the market being so bad, i dont know how well it would work out.

Id love to hear some feedback on the ideas i just came up with. And maybe some opinions on what types of prices to charge? thanks!
