“You’ll Never Improve Your Alexa Rank…”

September 14th, 2008

I’ve not posted here for ages and in theory that should decrease this site’s Alexa ranking.  Well, it has!  Strangely enough, traffic figures haven’t dipped very much so it makes me wonder how much of that it actually bot visits.

Anyway, where have I been?  Since rediscovering photography earlier this year, I’ve basically been out and doing more with my life and my wife.  When you consider the alternative of slaving away in front of the computer all day it’s not a bad thing!  That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been earning anything from my online endeavours because they were always developed with automation in mind.  So whilst, I’m not earning as much, I am still earning passively.

Okay, so I am still spending a lot of time in front of the computer, but it’s more so to do with post processing photographs I’ve been taking and so doesn’t feel like work at all.  I must admit that I have been thinking about ways to combine photography with making money online and I have been using IM techniques to promote my digital photography blog.

So, how to make money passively with photography?  Obvious methods that spring to mind are to sell the end product i.e. the photographs or to go the advertising route and sell space on ‘niche’ photography sites I could set-up, but I’m looking for other ideas.

Any thoughts on making money passively with photography?
