How can I earn money with photography? -

I am good at photography and I want to earn some money. How can I sell photos, printable calendars, etc? Do you know any sites, companies, or anything else which may be interested in this? Thanks!

There are many good photographers that could easily sell their photos, but they really aren t interested in making money selling their photos. Their photos are for them and their friends and that is as far as they want to go. This is fine...check this out....

used to be a photographer used to make killer money doing peanut football teams and little league baseball. you do a couple of team photos and then run the kids thru doing the individual shots and put them in the cardboard cutouts. they cost about a buck a peice to make and i would charge 10 bucks and every parent wants one

there are quite a few online courses that are cheap to take that can help teach you to monetize your photography skills. may be worth a go. what i learned was to develop multiple income streams...

What to put as a new business? -

What is a good business to start located on a strip? The businesses next to it are Papa John s, Movie Gallery, A Chinese Restaurant, And A hot dogg place.I live in South Georgia, thought location might help a bit. Any ideas? Thanks ! (:

Movie Gallery? Is that a Movie Theater or a Movie rental place?If it s a theater then one option would be to put in an Ice Cream store like a Marble Slab Creamery, Rita s Ice or something like that. It could be a nice fit for after movie goers and for the Chinese restaurant which isn t known for its great deserts. This could be a stronger idea if the Strip was easily accessible, had good road frontage for your signage and perhaps was a bit near to a major intersection and possibly a subdivision within a mile or so. Even if it isn t a theater it could still be a good idea.Another option would be to open a second time around shop of some kind. I say this because the demographics of the people in the other businesses could be very good for people who value gently used clothing. These kinds of stores are also becoming more in vogue among the teens for stores like Plato s Closet etc.There could be other options too. The key to choosing a business in this location is to keep in mind that the likely demographics of the people going there will be teens, families, probably middle to lower middle income and point of purchase oriented , i.e. they ll buy because it s there versus going there to buy specifically.Hope that helps.

I want to start a farm what do I need? -

My husband and I want to start a farm with horses and cattle but we aren t sure of what we will need. We have found a couple of different pieces of property that are 35 or 40 acres. What all do we need to get started? Is there any grants or anything else that can help us to achieve this goal?

Most grants go to established farmers who have income/yield records. or grants are for on farm research which means you get several thousands dollars, do the research than get published and do a couple of workshops. in any case don t expect more than $10k from any farm grant.what you need to get started is good land/good pasture, fencing, barns, grain storage, hay storage, a tractor, manure spreader, grooming equipment, feeding equipment, stock trailer, truck(s), hay, grain. And you will need a lot more land than 35 to 40 acres unless you want to raise under 15 head (which will make you no money).Know that when you raise livestock you cannot leave the farm for more than a day unless you have really good help that will reliably come and feed and water the stock daily (these people are amazingly hard to find). If you are doing dairy you have to be home all the time (2x a day milking). So vacations are out.The best bet for a loan is Farm Credit Services

look to the USDA for certain subsidies. aside from what people think, they dont just give you money. When you get your subsidy, You are guarenteed a price from the gov, say $3/lb for beef. If the market price is $5/lb the gov gives you $3, and the buyer gives you $2. if the price falls below $3, you are still guarenteed that price.They also have the Rural Development Program which gives low interest loans to develop in rural areas.

you can check the search engines for farm grants, some years ago I knew of one such program but not sure if it still is availablesome states have programs for their veterans to get into either a business or a farm and the Small Business Administration makes loans

Starting a Christmas Lights Business - How Much Should I Charge for Installing Holiday Lights? -

I m keen to hear from those who have started their own lights business this year.

I run a Christmas lighting business and charge a flat fee where possible (or by the hour, if the job is big).You calculate this by multiplying the size of the house with the man-hours it will take to finish the job. It is normal to charge at least $300-500 to light up a decent-sized house.Also factor in the materials cost (C7, C9 bulbs, LED rope lights, wires) and the cost of any assistants you ll be hiring.

Yeah, you simply start from their own lights business. It s always been that way and it likely enough will always stay that way, too
