How to sell photography

Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

I want to start my own photography business. How do I start?

I am going to college. (community college this year, 4 year next year.) I am thinking about nursing school. But I really want to do photography. Photography would be on the side, then possibly full time. Should I go to photography school? What classes should I take? How do I start out in the business? thank you.

1. picturing your self dear!
2. Get a minor in business administration or accounting. You need to be skilled at both. You also will need classed in small business and business law. Also you need marketing skills. this is not a seat of your pants career. Plan it well - there are significant startup costs. I think you would need to form a LLC to avoid liability - it is in the long run probably better to pay the extra taxes than take the risk
3. Before going to photography school, you should take some business classes. Photography is first and foremost a business. You need to understand the basics of small business management before you worry about starting a photography business.
