Hi all! I've been reading this forum for couple weeks and getting pieces of information regarding online business. I am currently in the process of building a proxy site to make some money so I can buy myself a DSLR yes my passion is photography, but the gear is impossible for a college student to afford. I am also interested in finding a "mentor" here that I can ask questions to through messengers such as AIM. I will pay you and you just basically answer my questions and be active on telling me what you know and what I should know. This is a very nice community, see you around!
Welcome to DP!! Best of luck with your photography endeavors. I have a friend who recouped the cost of his cameras by posting on stock photography sites online. You get paid per download of the photograph, so it makes you money over and over again. You just have to meet the file and quality requirements. Just a thought. Dreamstime is one of the sites that does this. Just google it.
