Do you dream about earning money with your hobby (I mean, naturally, photography)? An interesting, but sometimes disputable article I’ve found in the Internet.

It seems that just about everyone is a photographer. The line between amateur enthusiast and professional is fuzzy to say the least….

Indeed, you may bought a good DSLR for $500 and such camera may produce enough good shots, even for hi-quality polygraphy.

Photography enthusiasts are selling their images through stock libraries and microstock websites, directly to magazines or through their own and third party sites. They’re accepting commissions to shoot weddings, being hired to shoot for magazines and selling fine art prints from their websites. They’re teaching photography on the weekend and guiding photographic holidays and safaris.

Not all ideas are good for me, but as starting point for some enthusiasts it fits.
