Ways To Start Your Own Digitalphotographic Business! (part Ten)
Your own digital, photography based, home business could start here
. . .
* FOAM MITTS. Large foam mitts for sporting events, or even personal use if you want to start your own cheerleading team. Support your team, or star. Sell to supporters, or even sports firms, good advertising for them. Lots of markets here.
* TALKING BUSINESS CARDS. First you had the business card, then the photo business card, now the photo talking business card, what next video? Business cards are the number one promo tool and now they talk, get in there!
* WATER BOTTLES. Again sports, or even just leisure lots of people carry water or other beverages around with them. Themed, promotional or personal. Look for markets, bicycle retail outlets for example, clothing too. Sports stores. Teams. Picnic areas. Tourist areas.
* SCRATCH OFF PHOTOS. This is a novel item.You supply the photos, or photo derived art under the scratch off panel. Great promotional items. For local in-store promotions. Or run your own competitions!
* CUTTING BOARDS. Great mothers day presents. Great kitchen promo items. Where food is prepared or displayed a chopping board is not far away. House warming gifts, personalised wedding gifts.
* TILES. You can create stunning works of art on clear film on a ceramic tile. Choose the subject and colours carefully, mount on a complimentary tile and stand back. Home decor, gifts, souvenirs.
* WINE BOXES. Another great wedding or housewarming unusual gift. Don't forget wine outlets, wine bars, holiday resorts. On their own, or added to coasters, placemats, tablecloths. Not with the same picture of course, same subject, different aspects.
* CLIP BOARDS. Usually to be avoided when waliking the high street, especially when in the hands of a grim looking opinion taker. Next time tell them in your opinion their clip board is drab and lifeless and give them your card as the number one promo clip board king! Seriously some eyecatching photo and colour may entice more people to stop. Office supply, businesses, census takers, students, white collar industry, blue collar industry. Many markets.
* CLOSE-UP PUZZLES. Used to be a favourite of mine as a kid, a close up photograph of a household item at an unusual angle. I always looked forward for the answer in the local paper, quite often followed by me muttering 'what household do they come from?'. Apart from newspapers there are competition magazines that run these, or start your own.
* CANDID WEDDINGS. At most weddings there is the traditional photographer, stuffed to the gills with expensive equipment and a big bill. That is a good market, but your photo skills have to be top drawer to compete and you have to be able to organise large groups of people. This may, or may not be your talent. A recent addition photographically to the big day is the candid photographer. This chap doesn't charge much, comparatively but his, or her, creative scope is much more relaxed. You can charge for the whole day, or just parts of the day. You can capture your images with a handheld digital compact, or small video. Video is easy to conceal and you can get good images from it. Also no one is aware they are the subject. Offer the whole video, if you go that way, or selected prints from the video. Same with the still photos, show them all, to you it may not be a great moment technically, but to the bride and groom it may be a priceless moment.
This is number 101. Hope you have caught the others and have gotten your mind open to the possibilities of the great home business opportunities offered by digital photography today. Remember, its not just wedding photography, or portrait studios that make money!
* ROLLER BLINDS. Printed roller blinds are a great addition to any bathroom, but personalised ones, thats another level. Ally yourself with an interior designer and offer personal, or a personalised theme. Good promo tools too, in bathroom display showrooms, manufacturers, trade shows and exhibitions. Don't forget the pet or children lovers.
This is just to get your creative juices going and your brain storming with ideas! The internet has opened up a never ending need for images, of anything and everything. Stock photography has changed, gone are the highly professional, large format shots of models and beaches, that had to be technically perfect, well they are not gone, but they are not the only opportunities for aspiring photographers who want to make a living with their hobby, their passion. Images that you would'nt believe started life as a photograph end up everywhere these days and the ability to transform these images is available to everyone, and in the comfort of their own home.
Don't forget a lot of well known high street businesses started life on a kitchen table, why not yours?
