Turn Your Hobby into a New Career!

Wow! What a great start. 25 people in the first 24 hours! Looks like we have a very interested group. I have some ideas for our first meetup but I'd love to hear from you also. Email me and we'll get something on the calendar pronto!

Do you have a passion for photography? Do you dream of taking your hobby to the next level to charge for your services? What better way to make extra money in your spare time than doing something you truly enjoy! Well, why not go for it!

Starting a business is a bit scary, so let's get together to help each other figure it out. We'll bring in experts on a wide range of important topics that our members want to explore. Weddings, sports, special events, pets, wildlife, you name it, the clients are out there. How do you reach them? What do you need to do to set up a business? What are the common pitfalls to avoid?

How does the stock photography market work? What are the going rates for my specialty? What insurance do I need? How do I safeguard the rights to my photographs? We can explore all these topics and any others you want to raise.

We'll give you a little nudge to put yourself out there and see what opportunities may come!
