Looking to make extra $$$$$

Microstock and traditional stock photography work well for many photographers. If you want to try your hand at framed prints, posters, greeting cards, mugs, T-shirts etc. there is a good turnover in products featuring your photography. I like Zazzle.com but cafepress and other sites are worth looking at. My gallery at www.zazzle.com/practicaps returns me a regular income (more than I have ever made with stock sites) and I also have work on Imagekind and Redbubble. My own website is linked to all 3 (of course)and uses online promotional material provided by the sites to highlight the kind of itemse on sale (www.davidrichphotography.org) ~ it works for me, perhaps it will for you, too.

I have information on microstock including links to microstock websites I've had success with listed on my blog: http://funonlinemoney.blogspot.com/2008/12/sell-your-photos.html I'm sure any DSLR would be fine. When I first got started in microstock, all I had was a simple point and shoot. In just a few months, I'd earned enough from microstock to buy a DSLR. I bought a Nikon D70. Now I use a Nikon D300. But really any camera would be acceptable, as long as it had the proper megapixel requirement.
