It is very easy to make money from home with your digital camera. You don't need a fancy multiple - lenses that can be interchanged type camera. A straight forward 6 megapixel with a zoom will be fine. Make sure though that you have the required software to be able to download the pictures you take to your home computer & that you can edit them & resize them if necessary.

You just need to take pictures of anything and everything. Every day you are placed into environments that have tons of subject matter for you. Always carry your camera with you. A very good friend of mine has the most fantastic little camera not much bigger than the average cigarette box but WOW...it takes the most fantastic pic's. I use a Kodak camera & although it's not as small as some others I can still carry it with me most places I go to.

Your commute to work the office the local park the sidewalks the coffee shop are all places you can take fantastic pictures. Think out the box a little. People pic's are always good and are sought after for all sorts of reasons. Particularly babies! Just be careful not to invade anyone's privacy. Ask permission first if you think you may be upsetting someone by just taking pictures of them & their kids...after all you don't want to thought of as a stalker!

Travelling anywhere will also give you some great opportunities to take interesting pic's. Whether you are travelling on holiday or to work & back there are tons of subjects you can find. Interesting vehicles people even accidents lend themselves to being good subject matter.

Travelling on holiday is a time to unwind take in the sights visit places of interest like monuments museums small boat harbours outdoor cafe's sidewalk restaurants and new & interesting people particularly in foreign countries.A holiday can also be the easiest way to make some money. This is one of the few occasions when you will be taking tons of pictures way more than you would normally. After all you want to remember your holiday forever. You want to show friend & family what they missed. My wife travelled to the UK in December 2005 with a friend & spent 3 weeks there. She took nearly 300 pictures - the villages the churches the farmlands the sheep the graveyards the people and and and...
