5 Ways to Use Your Photos (Besides the Basic Prints)

1. Turn Them Into Greeting Cards

Greeting cards can be a simple and effective way of using your photos. People use them all the time and they are a great way to get your work out to lots of people.

2. Sell Them Online

You can sell your photos online from many different sites. A few include Shutterstock, Stockfresh, and Crestock.

3. Start a Blog

You can start a blog for free using many websites and some have options that will allow you to make money. But don't do it just to make money, do it because you actually want to. Starting a blog is a huge commitment and you won't earn much from it at first.

4. Enter a Photography Competition

Some competitions have cash prizes, and others may have some other form of prize for the winners. Take your chances at a competition, you have nothing to loose by entering (Unless you have to pay for submission, anyway. If you're not totally confident with your work yet, those competitions are best avoided until later on.) Even i you don't win, you can always learn from the experience.

5. Write and Sell a Book

If you know about photography, why not share your knowledge with others? Write a book and include photos that you've taken.
