Could my talent of photo editing make me extra money?

Question

Hi, I'm a recent college graduate. I'm looking for employment in my field of Elementary Education, but with recent budget cuts, there are few jobs. Will I wait, I plan to substitute when I can. The problem is, it's the summer and school is out. As a result, I need to find a way to make extra money. I often make photo collages and edit pictures for family members as gifts and upon request. I've been told I'm very good at it, as well. I'm wondering if I could possible sell my service on eBay to earn extra money. Would it even be worth the money to try? What do you guys think? Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Ebay may or may not be a good option to promote your services. The key is to position yourself in front of those seeking for what you have to offer. The internet is a great tool for that. Building a website to show off your work and attract people to your business would be a more targeted option. There are many web hosts that can assist. The web host that I use http://find.sitesell.com/UnstoppableDrea... is a great example.

Building an business via the net is a great option. However, this option does not produce immediate results and will not solve your present needs for income.  I would recommend building your photo editing business on the side of employment while the business builds customers.

BEST WISHES!
