Digital Envisions

These are hard times for many individuals, so it is a good time to strive to earn from multiple earning streams. Obviously, numerous individuals 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 people 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 creating the photograph that you want and this is important if you want to sell your work.

Pet Portraits: numerous individuals like to have portraits of their beloved cat or dog. These photographs are not a problem to take, because animals are so photogenic. There are a number of 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 above, but with the client’s favourite digital photograph printed out and framed. You should offer a choice of sizes and frames at different prices here.

Option Three: as option one, but with an oil painting of the favourite image 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 could offer at least three different alternatives. Graduation photos are a good idea because not everybody goes to their nearest college or university and parents cannot always be there.

Photograph Editing: numerous people have a digital camera or a cell phone that takes photographs, 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 create a nice CD photograph album.

You could offer to create a number of themed photo albums from a jumble of hundreds of photos 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 every establishment according to what they would like. A construction firm may want photographs of the board and of their best jobs (presumably they are still standing).

Pub landlords frequently move about a fair bit, so they could have a set of photographs of pubs they have owned. Or a series of photos of the current pub, with some historical captions.

Prized Photos: numerous people with expensive possessions like photographs of them – a beautiful home, boat, car or model. Go to the local marina, walk down an expensive street or go to an enthusiasts club meeting (go-kart racing, remote controlled models). Go to fights or local fashion shows and offer photos to contestants or models.
