I’m selling my things online now, and making the occasional sale. I tried selling at a flea market for a few weekends, but sold nothing and was out of the money to rent the space. Definetly hte wrong venue for my pictures.

I have come to the conclusion that for a person creating things (whether its writing, art, or crafts) the secret these days is to have multiple income streams, and to use your product in multiple ways.

Example: John C. Dvorak
He’s a tech analyst that’s been doing this for years. He’ll research an issue, then write a few magazine articles, a blog post, and do three podcasts about it.

I’m trying something similar. For my pictures I offer three different sizes, plus 2 different stationary cards. I’m also going to start seeing about getting my pictures and cards displayed in a local coffee house on consignment. One picture, sliced 6 different ways (at least).

I still want to do more portrait photography. I haven’t had any clients since last year. I have a possible lead with a few groups in the area… we shall see.
