Ways I might make money

Okay, largely I hope to make money from photography, and IT.

more specifically, here are some detailed options that I have considered:

  1. I write JMS bridge checker website, which is free at the point of use, but sponsored by Oracle as it will reduce their support costs.
  2. I could also perhaps work as a consultant on JMS bridge work. the previously mentioned website would be a good way of advertising my skills.
  3. wedding photography. I have one wedding lined up in September, but would need more
  4. Barra calendar. this doesn't seem as though it will ever be particularly profitable, but I am trying to arrange for the hotel to sell them anyway. If that proves doable, I could get them to sell prints too perhaps.
  5. I could maybe try an Elderslie Golf Club calendar too, selling them through the pro shop.
  6. I could talk to nurseries about doing baby photos, as suggested by Julie Hynes. I could try out my "just send me what you think it's worth" approach here, which I am for some reason more comfortable with
  7. Doing websites. I'm doing one for St Mirin's Cathedral for free, which might help to get me more.
  8. Advertising. Most of the meagre money that I have made from photography thus far has been from people approaching me through flickr, mostly to use my photos in adverts.
  9. Ad hoc portait work, like I did for Julia and Jen
  10. Making money from getting my macbeth/facebook thing published. this seems unlikely, but it's worth trying. actually finishing it would be painful though.
  11. Local papers etc.
  12. Selling prints
  13. General IT contracting. Probably for perl skills.
