Today, I have a guest post from Marc from Vital Dollar. He is sharing how he had a few photography-related websites and even with no real photography experience, was quite successful with them. Hopefully, you'll find this super encouraging like I did. Enjoy!

Photography can be a tough industry. While high-profile photographers can make a lot of money, most photographers struggle to make a good income from their work.

Many photographers need to do a few different things in order to earn a full-time income. Things like freelance writing for photography blogs or magazines, writing books or ebooks, creating online courses or other digital products, running workshops and seminars, licensing stock photos, and selling prints are all possible supplements to income made from client work.

Welcome to February 2019's business report where I show you how I made money online and traveled full-time last month. It's time to look at this month's update and see how I did.

If you're new to Making Sense of Cents, you may be wondering why I would want to publish my business report each month.

This all started out as my extra income report because, in the beginning, it was all about the money I was earning from my side jobs. In my side income reports from the beginning, I included all of the income I made except for what I made at my day job.

However, I left my day job as a financial analyst in October of 2013 and now my monthly business reports consist of the many ways I earn a living with my business. [Read more…]

How I’ve Made Over $1,000,000 From My First Course Without a Big Launch

How I’ve Made Over $1,000,000 From My First Course Without a Big Launch #makemoneyblogging #makeextramoney I created Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing, my first online course, in July of 2016. And, after two and a half years, I have earned over $1,100,000 from it.

This was without any webinars, Facebook Lives, any guest posts, a “launch” period, or anything else. It's an evergreen course that has mainly spread through word of mouth.

Most people are completely shocked to hear this, because when most people think about running a course, they think of an intense sales period with a huge team and lots of live videos.

However, my course has pretty much just been me, no big promotions or videos.

This doesn’t mean that creating my first course came easy to me.

Creating an online course is a lot of work, no matter how you do it, and I decided to create them on my own terms. I want to be comfortable with how I create and run my courses and make sure they fit with the rest of my business plan. [Read more…]
