Making money with the M9, however, has nothing to do with where you live. I live in York, South Carolina!! Think Stock and Internet. You can do it, easily. You don't need my seminar, just buy the book "Sell and Resell Your Photos" by Rohn Engh. Or even borrow it from the library. He will tell you everything you need to know about beginning to sell stock photos. Today, you can live in Timbuktu and still sell photos as long as you have an internet connection. You can pay for an M9 in less than a year. The more you sell, the more you will know about what sells. You can do this on the side, apart from your art work. Wedding and portrait are not the easiest by any stretch of the imagination. Just stay away from microstock or royalty free stock! Good luck! Tina because the demand for it is universal. Anyway, I am supporting myself and a > teenage son entirely from sales of my work off my website.
