Just wondering what the make-up consists of here on the business forum. I've seen similar polls in the past but it's been a while. So vote it up 
| POLL: "How are you involved in the business side of photography?" |
 My sole (or at least vast majority) of income is derived from photography | 20 23.5% |
| I'm a part timer but I have hopes of making photography my sole income | 14 16.5% |
| I'm a part timer and I'm happy to keep it at that. | 32 37.6% |
| I'm not currently involved in the business side of photography but I'm interested in it. | 15 17.6% |
| This is just a hobby and I expect it to be nothing more. | 4 4.7% |

My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

Lol....isn't that the truth....as much as I enjoy being out shooting, I so often find myself behind the computer screen processing photos, placing orders, creating contracts, adding up my books, figuring out taxes, creating invoices, e-mailing potential clients, answering current client e-mails, following up on bad checks, checking in on advertising, paying bills, etc....

Over the last 5 yrs 99% of my income has come from photography so that's what I answered. Lately it's been mostly "business of photography." SEO blog - tips & info for photographers
