I have been taking lots of pics in the last year. I want to make some money with them. What should I do to make money?

What kind of pix?  Digital?  Find a target market and market them!  Portraits? Landscapes?  Still lifes?  Portraits:  Find a portrait studio and show your portfolio--ask for a job.  Landscapes:  real estate offices have pix everywhere--will they hire you?  Get a great landscape in a small local magazine (Missouri conservationist for example--then you are 'published", even though they won't pay you--it is good PR.) Still lifes:  Marketing/advertising firms are looking for good still life artists to make product look good.  Take your portfolio to the local galleries--ask if they will show your stuff.  Enter stuff in local shows to get your name out there.  Free lance stuff?  9-5 job?  What are you looking for?  What are you taking pix of makes all the difference!
