haha yeah thats for sure I do but oh well and yeah I am getting better these days I am taking bout 400-100 photos a weekUm, there's a website, something like stockphoto.com i believe, it allows people to buy your pictures both for photoshop editing purposes, and for pictures they like and want in nice quality, the advantage to this site is also that it gets your name "known."
Second, you could try joining many photo competitions (with good pictures OC), obviously, if you win, that's also a decent amount of exposure.
Um, i guess this one is a little in the long run, since i doubt youre over 21 and out of college due to your profile picture, but you can open up a studio.
I feel like you should just work on getting pictures to look and be proffesional before venturing out to get money from them, no offense, i know you're starting, but i haven't seen anything out of your photos that looks proffesional and ready to sell, photography, at least for most, is not to get money but as a hobby, i would have fun with it, and if YOU become good, then it'll be alot easier to get your photos exposed.
Btw, you seem to get a lot of hate on this forum it seems .

can we see some of the best ones?
So your just selling locally - well your best bet would be to print off and mount in a frame - some examples of your best work and then try setting up a stall at a local fair, sale event - making sure to have both stock in hand at the event and also business cards with your email on them - so that buyers can walk away with contact details.
You could also consider printing off postcards and selling them in local shops - talking with the managers concerning what the cards would look like, pricing and the rest.
Of course all this printing might or might not be possible for you so look into printing labs (either local or through the internet) which would be able to print quality products for you.
You can see posts a user had made in their profile. Look for threads started by someone and that usually leads to the images they post

And in looking at back posts, I found that the same question has been asked in the past.
What do you hope to achieve more with a new thread on the same subject?
From what I gather, you don't want to do stock photography, you don't want to open a business doing portraits.
You want to take pictures of what you like and sell them as art to people for them to hang on their walls, correct?

yes, i noticed this previously, and have looked at the past 5 pages of posts he has done, i linked his other thread in my original post last afternoon to show this to him. My main problem is i feel that this user is only taking pictures to make money, which is why he's over processing his pictures IMO, im interested in his new and improved pictures, id love to see them, so at least OP give us a teaser?
