Question
I have been playing around with my camera and with editing websites, I am just wondering how a person would go about trying to sell pictures and make some money in the process.

I've attached one of the photo's i've edited.
Thanks
Toni,
Working as a professional photographer is like any job, HARD WORK! Most professionals spend years perfecting their craft. There are many ways to make money, licensing images, selling prints, commercial assignments. You'd have to decide that this is what you want to do and be willing to work towards that goal.
Hope this helps,
Tricia
