For me I believe that learning photography is an intuitive, highly creative act that works best when one is immersed head first into the doing (action) and the learning.

In my case, I ‘learnt’ by taking pictures – honing my talents, sharpening my sword so to speak. Along the way I observed, and appreciated, the fascinating array of photographers and photography styles, whilst thinking and dreaming (idealizing) about how to do something similar.

So if we are talking about learning photography here then my suggestion is that you can go and look at stock photo agencies and microstock photo sites (check out istockphoto ) and see what great work is coming out and what is happening there.

Then you can emulate or try out certain styles and see how they fit with you. Of course you’ll bring your own personal, unique individuality to the table, and everything you do anyway. (Ie. The photography that you produce will be unique for you). Keep in mind that your images (more often than not) will need to be sellable too… but that’s a story for a rainy day. Let’s get back to learning photography, or the happy little world of beginners photography…

It usually does take a long time to get good… It’s said it takes 10 years to become an expert at something. So, that means you do need to work at it. And keep practicing… and GO find that particular photographer, photography style, or digital photography tutorial that motivates you so much you can’t wait to get out there and shoot.

There’s a fine balance between the learning and the doing. You also need to have a clear, measurable goal and destination. What this means is that if you want to create photography specifically for microstock photo sites, then you’ve given yourself a project to learn all about what type of images sell best, with a target of getting accepted and uploading 50 new images a month. (As an example).

However if you want to just create local photos, or want to start your own photography business, or even make your first information product in the photo niche, then I suggest you find the experts who are already doing this, and emulate what they’re doing.

Hold on – let’s get clear on the meaning of emulate first…

Emulate: To compete with successfully; approach or attain equality with. Also: strive to equal or match, especially by imitating.

Clear on that?  So… at the end of the day learning photography is all about having a mission, Ie. knowing what it is you want to do with your amazing creative photo talents, and then focusing intensely on that goal, learning everything there is to know about it, and continuing to take photos as you go.

It’s also about asking questions, getting involved (photo forums are helpful), and contributing something special to the world. I think that about sums up what learning photography is, do you?

Photography Tips: How To Write An Article If You Don’t Have A Clue How

202px Window shopping at Eaton%27s Photography Tips: How To Write An Article If You Dont Have A Clue HowImage via Wikipedia

How to write an article if you don’t have a clue how to go about it? And, are resale rights products the answer?

Let’s go and find out…

Firstly we need to understand what Private Label Right (PLR) products are. (PLR is also known as Resale Rights Products).

In a nutshell, Private Label Rights products are YOURS to own, edit, sell, resell, grant resale rights to and more. Basically you BECOME the author of the product without writing or creating a thing.

So it does not take a genius to realise the value of these products… You can use PLR as your own and sign your OWN name as the creator. In other words, you can have a business in a box (think affiliate income) within minutes, with all your own back links and up sells without writing a single word.

When you have your own PLR products you can:

  1. Sell them on their own mini site – Use the PLR material to create your own mini website and sell your products from there.
    .
  2. Add them to bigger packages – Take 3 or 4 related PLR products and add them to a larger package. This is turn will allow you to sell your package for a much higher price.
    .
  3. Convert them to CD or DVD and sell them on auction websites – Place your PLR on a CD with your website links and affiliate links inside and not only create an income from selling your created items on auction websites, also make a massive residual income from the other sources of income.
    .
  4. Create a home study course with a variety of PLR products and sell them for a huge profit – You can create and sell home study courses with the help of PLR. Package your PLR onto a CD, box it up with check lists and help manuals and you can create a home study course which you can sell for 100′s of dollars.
    .
  5. Split your private label into articles – Place them on article websites with your website links, mini site links, auction links and generate traffic you never knew existed. (PLR articles).
    .
  6. Create a mini course and distribute them to your mailing lists – Convert your PLR to a mini course and send it to your subscribers. This really makes PLR work for you.
    .
  7. Convert your products to physical books, print and sell them as your own – By converting your PLR to physical books you can them place them on auction websites such as eBay and Amazon and create huge revenue potential.
    .
  8. Add your affiliate links to your PLR – Create affiliate income sales which will earn you a residual income for years to come. By adding your affiliate links and website links to your PLR eBooks and articles and granting resale rights the viral effect is in place, your eBooks and articles will be around for years…


Can you see how you actually don’t need to write those articles yourself? All you need to do is make full use of resale rights products (PLR). And then, with some basic tweaks, you have your own instant articles!

What else can we learn about PLR?

Well, let’s see…

For starters, PLR can be very very expensive. There’s also a LOT of cheap and copy PLR websites out there to choose from. YOU have to be careful and make sure you are getting fresh content or content quality.
