The assumption that this book is to teach you how to do it, is totally incorrect. It's an ideas book with a simple explanation and sufficient information on each idea or way to point you in the right direction. And, if you're thinking that any old person can benefit from it then you are wrong. You need a commitment to your hobby or trade and the ability to produce quality images that will sell. This book gives you a host of ideas that will assist you to sell these quality images. Ways to make quick money selling average amateur photos it is not! Go to the charlatan ebooks sites for books on quick cash from your camera (by the way which don't work).

If you are serious about your photography, full-time, part-time or as just a hobby then this book is definitely for you. It does not provide you with comprehensive information. For example, making money from stock or micro-stock requires a whole book on it's own. What it does do is give you sufficient information about each idea for you to ascertain if it's for you. If it catches your fancy then find out more about that particular idea through more research or books. You are never going to make money from any idea by just reading 2.5 pages in an idea book.
What this book does is inspire you with fresh ideas that are very possible to the average photographer who wants to seriously focus on making money. There are a host of ways that I have been totally unaware of and others that the book gives the information I was looking for to understand the idea or concept.

The format of the book is well laid out, clear and easy to read. I was very excited to receive my copy and it did not let me down.

If you are looking are for a literary masterpiece as some of the other reviewers are, then it's not that. I couldn't care whether the spelling or grammar is correct. It's the information provided that is great.

As a serious photographer I would highly recommend this book for anyone who can shoot great images. You will find a way or ways to sell your photos. If you can't make money from your photos after reading this book then your photos are probably not up to scratch.

Before you buy take a look inside the book at one or two of the examples provided. It was enough for me to make an immediate purchase.

This review is from: 99 Ways To Make Money From Your Photos (Paperback)

This book does indeed list 99 ways to make money from selling your photos. The assumption is that you're already a competent photographer, and if that's so then this book, along with some creativity, imagination, and hustle on your part will help you to begin to make some money from your photographs.

What I especially like about this book is that each way to make money rates how difficult it is to make money with that particular tip, the amount of competition you'll face, and that tip's income potential. Each tip is described in detail and includes how to get started and tips for success! In some cases specific web sites, etc., are included as possible outlets for your work.

If you're already a good photographer, and you're willing to take this book and really work hard at what it teaches you, then you should begin selling your own work soon. I have!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Many Options Previously Unknown To Me, June 22, 2009

This review is from: 99 Ways To Make Money From Your Photos (Paperback)

When I first picked up this book, I thought I was going to get a list of vague ideas that gave you just enough information on topics anyone with half a brain could think up on their own. Luckily, this book is the exception to my skepticism.

As the title suggests, there are 99 ways to make money from you photos. One of the things that made me really love this book was the graphical way each topic is represented in level of difficulty, how much competition to expect, and how much money (income potential) you could make.

This books takes a lot of the guesswork out and provides an honest overview of each topic - and some topics I never even heard of. For instance, I never knew there were "Moo Cards" - quite popular and on the rise, too.

My recommendation is if you are looking for a way to make some extra cash, or if you're wanting to begin your own photography-based business, this is an excellent resource to have on hand.
