How to Earn Money from Photography (6 Steps)

Set up a photography blog to show off your work. If money is an issue, use a free blogging platform such as Blogger or WordPress. Choose a layout that is designed to show off photographs. Make pages for a blog, an 'About Me' section and for details about pricing and contact information.
Put out a set of initial blog posts that displays your best work. Write a brief paragraph or two about the pictures and include them directly in the post. Gain permission from subjects before displaying their pictures on your blog. Share links to each post on your social media profiles, and email them to your friends and family to get the word out about your photography and generate interest.
Give away free sessions to build your portfolio. Offer a limited number of free shoots in return for the subject's permission to use his images on your photography blog. After that, offer an introductory price for photo sittings to get customers in the door. At each photo shoot, hand out business cards so your subjects can pass them on to their friends and family.
Photograph events in your community. Show up at sporting events, theatrical productions and festivals, and take a wide range of photos, aiming to get as many people as possible. Put a limited number of photos on your blog with a description of the event, and upload the full collection to a website such as Kodak Galleries, where interested people can order individual prints. This strategy is particularly useful for elementary and high school events, where parents will want action shots of their children.
Sell your extra photos to stock photography sites. You can use extras from a photo shoot or go out and take stock photos. Stock photos are used in everything from magazine articles to websites, and they encompass a wide range of subjects. Improve your chances of a sale by including multiple versions of the same scene, in landscape and portrait orientation, to accommodate different uses by buyers.
Print and mount your photos and sell them at local outlets. Offer them for display and sale in coffee shops, community art centers and photo galleries. Ask around at other outlets, including libraries and craft stores, to see if they will display your photos. Include a small card with each photo that lists your name and website URL.
