RE: Earning money with Photography?

in #steempress5 years ago

I wouldn't say I am making enough money right now, not consistently. But from time to time. And it becomes more and more often so I am into...wait for it, it's the most important part...

Not giving up and not losing momentum!

Whatever niche you try. Of course, it may just not be yours, I mean you might not like it. But if you do, keep on pushing. That's my philosophy. Which does not mean I am 100% capable of living up to it. But the percentage increases.

I am trying stock, now, too. A bit over two months and not much success but any success is a lesson, too. Failure is generally a lesson but not in this case - I don't learn enough from failing in stock. And time/effort return is amazingly low at the moment. But that has been true for everything I tried so far. It is hard to start. No momentum built yet.

Yeah, client work is absolutely important, it pays off the most in short-terms and since we need to pay bills short-term... One has to do it while experimenting with other things.

Hey buddy! I agree, Not giving up and not losing momentum! is the key for everything in life. Well, everything important at least.
I probably have to get more client work. But I have to figure out how,what,who,when,why first :D

Anyway. I keep working until I get there where I want to be. Even its tough, very tough!

Good part is, we're together in this mess noble endeavor.

Don't underestimate free work for good friends. Portfolio and personal contacts are much needed. After a few not very active years, still I have noticed that there's nothing in the way of advertisement, which works better than personal recommendations.

We have this saying - "Work for crazy's sake, but don't stay idle for crazy's sake." Or something like that. Lol...

I mean, a lot of crazy stuff I tried had some unpredictable outcome even months later.

Contacts. They must learn we're photographers and be reminded of that ;)

Oh for sure. I will do all of my first jobs for free. To get experience and get to know people and maybe be recommented to others.
You are right, Nr.1 this is getting contacts and make myself a "name" - Let's see how that turns out :D
