Contrary to what many seem to believe, there are ways of
making money from photography that don't necessarily involve
selling prints.
My photography is mostly just for enjoyment, but I've
made between $5-$6K in the last year or two by selling
DVD slide shows, and other image sets like these.
I design, edit and produce DVD based slide shows with music
and motion. Then I print labels/liners and package it nicely.
By the time I'm done, I end up with a pretty slick package...
...ready for shipment.
This particular job was pretty complex, involving EIGHT-DISK sets. Most
of my projects are a single DVD slideshow disk, or sometimes
a DVD + an image CD.
