Thinking of Jumping In...

January 16th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

My $20 challenge is somewhat stagnating, other than the change and ones that are slowly collecting. I may revisit whether it's just me or the house and me that are participating, but also of concern is thinking of a way to actively generate income. Combine this with the very real possibility of losing 60% of the household income at the end of February, and ACK!

And that's why I'm thinking of jumping in. To a business, that is. Not even really a business, more of a 'venture'. No, not MLM: those folks hate to see me b/c I always play devil's advocate and they can't answer all the questions I ask Big Grin

I'm thinking about getting some prints made of my photographs. Specifically, I found a REALLY CHEAP place to get posters printed, 18 x 24 size.

Text is http://shortrunposters.com/ and Link is
http://shortrunposters.com/

First one is free, each add'l is $2, and S&H is $10 from what I've read online. The quality is OK from what I've read, nothing to try and sell in an art gallery or nuthin'... I was thinking, though, that I could get 10 posters printed for $28 after S&H and see if I could sell 'em for $5 each.

So, what do ya'll think? Should I try and be a photographer? More importantly: ANYONE WANNA BUY A POSTER? Big Grin

    You might want to check out the stock photo places on line and research what it would take to submit your photos and how you might get paid for them as people choose to use them. I bought a bunch of stock photos from istockphoto.com at one point, so that's one I know of.

    We lost about that much income and are surviving nicely!
    I think it is great you taking such a proactive approach! Trying to make money any way is a good thought!
    My husband is always looking for "art"!

    I haven't done a single thing for my challenge. Nothing. Bleh. Doing a business isn't out of the question for my own challenge, but I just haven't thought of anything to try it on yet.

    The poster idea isn't bad though. You could always do your Lara Croft pose as a poster, and um... tap the male demographics. Big Grin
