Cash From Your Camera - Turn Your Photography Into a Business

The era of digital photography has made it easier than any time in the history of photography to make cash from your camera. As with any business it is not a cash machine as many unscrupulous ebook sellers proclaim. If you are prepared to work hard it can be very profitable. Here's how.

When I studied with the New York Institute of photography one of the students turned one fantastic photo into a business that made $250 000 through this one photo. I was amazed. He had taken a photo of the Dallas skyline at night that appeared to be on a waterfront. From the skyline on the horizon down to the foreground was a mirror image of the skyline. Experts called it a fake. What he had done was wait until a car park on his side of the city had been flooded with water and taken the image with skyline reflected in the water.

He didn't just sell the photo to a stock agency or over the internet but worked hard selling prints, framed photos and other items. He worked hard and created a very profitable photo business from one image. The key was a great idea with a great product that made great money. So what do you need to do to turn your photography into a profitable business.

1. Define your business

Decide what type of photography business you are going to start. Are you going to sell your services, sell your photos, sell a product or sell an ebook. You have to clearly define it for yourself and get it clear in your mind. Create a mindmap and write down all of the things you can do as a photographer. Then focus on the one or two that you feel you can make money from.

2. Define your customer

Who can you sell your services or photos to? If you are focusing on sports photography, are there magazines or newspapers that might buy them. Are there websites that might buy these types of photo? If you have a great portfolio of images could you sell them on stock photo websites. This is a numbers game so you have to have a quantity of good quality photos. Perhaps you're good at portraits and would like to focus on child and maybe pet photography. The key fundamental is that you need to know what you are good at or potentially good at and who your potential market is.

3. Define your pricing model

This has to be very clear in your mind. Are you going to sell a lot of images at a small profit or are you going to sell a select a small number of images at a large profit. You have to be clear because if stock photography is your route, you make at most a few dollars per image. As a portrait photographer you'll make a lot more. Out of this pricing model you'll know exactly how much you need sell to make the monthly budget you've set for yourself. If you don't get this right you won't have a photography business.

4. Define your transition strategy

This is absolutely essential if you are to transition from your current job to your own photography business. Many a photographer has made the move too soon without considering point number three. Build your business on a part time basis until you reach a transition point. You need to decide what percentage of your income it needs to be at before you make the transition. Too early and you will fail and too late you may not want to because you are too comfortable with the additional part-time income.

I was speaking to a professional photographer the other day and he was saying that forty percent of his time is now taken up in marketing his business, forty percent on admin and debt collection and only twenty percent on his passion which is photography. You need to understand that you are creating a business and not just extending your hobby.

Go into your new venture with your eyes open. Know all the answers to these four points and have a very clear plan of action to execute your strategy. Nothing is certain in life and there is no guarantee that your business will be successful. But, if you are thorough in your planning you will have the greatest chance of success.

New Zealand House Rentals in Increasing Demand

A declining affordability of housing, especially for first time home buyers, is resulting in an increasing demand for quality rental properties in the New Zealand market. Those leaving home who traditionally were searching to purchase their first property are delaying the process. Research conducted by BRANZ illustrates that rental accommodation, as a result, is now an integral step in the journey to homeownership. In other circumstances, the reducing affordability of property in New Zealand, along with global pressures of a mobile workforce, is slowly changing attitudes to homeownership, with many adopting the idea of 'renting for life'. The flexibility of rental properties in an ability to change locations, regionally, nationally and internationally, as well as adjusting to changing circumstances and requirements of housing, is better suited to the pressures faced by the modern working family.

However, the idea of homeownership has been deeply ingrained into the New Zealand culture, with the purchase of a home viewed as a rite of passage to adulthood. Nonetheless, the concept of home has to meet certain criteria, which some of the properties suitable for first home owners, do not satisfy. House proud New Zealanders, who also desire locational preference for schooling zones, have turned in their thousands to the alternative of rentals to satisfy their desire for a home that is modern, comfortable and in their preferred geographical location... which they may not achieve under the current environment of property pricing.

The rising dependence and resultant increase in demand for house rentals in New Zealand, is evident through the latest figures released by the Real Estate Institute. Figures over the past three years have indicated that rental properties have steadily grown in demand. However, recent figures represent an explosion in demand for house rentals, with the number of homes rented in March 2010 swelling to 16,286; just under 10,000 more than rented in February of the same year and 5,000 more than March 2009. The numbers are staggering and indicate a real opportunity for acute investors and commercial property developers alike to take advantage of these trends. Not only are potential tenants demanding cheap and low quality housing, but high quality housing in desired suburbs... and they are willing to pay.

With a high return on investment, the potential to make large capital gains and an increasing demand for house rentals, the time to enter the property market as an investor is now. Even Government agencies in New Zealand are crying out for quality rental properties with specific timelines, which guarantee income for that contract period. This reduces the stress of finding tenants, managing the property and financial security, as Housing New Zealand takes all responsibility, while guaranteeing an income for a minimum 52 week period, for which you receive the agreed amount whether the property is occupied or not. Perhaps not the desired situation for all property investors, but a strong signal in the property marketplace that house rentals in New Zealand are in high demand, and in reaction to declining affordability of homeownership, is set to continue well into the future. If you are thinking of taking advantage of the opportunities that are in the current housing market, contact your trusted and knowledgeable real estate agent today.
