Dear Photographer,
Rich Wagner is our resident photo expert here at AWAI and he’s been shooting photos professionally for more than 30 years now.
On every photo adventure we’ve taken with Rich — to Paris, Charleston, Greece…
...a workshop participant inevitably asks him, pointing into the distance, “Rich, what’s the best way to take a picture of that?”
Rich, nice guy that he is, always shows the person what camera settings to use for that situation and gives a few pointers for getting a good shot. And guess what? The pictures turn out beautifully. Professional-quality shots you could sell.
Well, that started us thinking: What could we do to help people when Rich isn’t there to look over their shoulders? Could we write down the tips he always shares — create little cheat sheets?
We wanted something you could just grab on the way out the door or keep in your camera bag without taking up too much room. Shooting a sunset? Pull out the sunset card. Taking photos at night? Grab the night card. Going to your kid’s soccer game? Pick up the sports card.
We liked this idea so much… we decided to make it happen. And a couple of years ago, AWAI’s exclusive PHOTO TIP CARDS were born!
Not to be immodest — but they are really, really cool.
The cards are small enough to slide into your pocket, but we made sure the type is large enough to read.
We added a little more meat by including tips from the pros on what it takes to make an image not only better… but more saleable too.
And we laminated them. So they’re sturdy. They won’t disintegrate in a rain storm… fade in the sun… nor get bent in your camera bag.
Why? Because sometimes you need one little question answered — right then – and no one’s around to help you. And that’s where these PHOTO TIP CARDS come in. They answer those pressing questions and they’ll have you taking better pictures — instantly.
Having your own copy of these PHOTO TIP CARDS is like having an expert at your fingertips giving you a head start on a new lifestyle of travel, fun, and paychecks.
Heck…you might even use them to win our annual $2,000 photo challenge! The PHOTO TIP CARDS could drastically increase your chances of winning, whether you’re a total newbie or you’ve been dabbling in photography for years.
I’ll tell you more about them in a minute. But first, I want to share with you a story Rich told me once…
It’s a story about the time he took a photo from a bridge of some people canoeing in the river that flows a few miles from his home — and sold it for $695…and then sold it again…and again…
He made enough from that one shot to more than pay for a winter getaway…
"At the time I shot it," Rich told me, "the bridge was under construction. I walked around a barrier to get to the center of the span while workmen were yelling at me to ’get the hell out of there!’ so I shot it and ran.
"I’ve had it published full page in a travel magazine, sold it as fine art many times in many sizes, had it used to publicize a road race in Runner’s World, and have sold it for use on the web to local merchants and the volunteer fire department.
"The people in the shot actually recognized themselves and had me print Christmas cards for them. All told, it’s brought in about $5,000 to $6,000."
And here’s the thing…you can easily do what Rich did, especially now that you can “cheat.”
You see, most of us need a few tries to get a shot right — if we ever get it looking professional. And if we spend our time fumbling through an instruction manual, forget it. The opportunity is gone…the canoe floats around a bend.
But Rich knew exactly how to get the shot — he knew what it takes to snap pro photos of running water — like what speed setting he needed, which lens to use, and how to cut down on glare off the water.
With the PHOTO TIP CARDS, you can do the same thing — fast. All you have to do is look at your running water tip card, and you, too, can take a saleable picture — immediately! It hardly matters what camera you have or your experience level.
You don’t need to be highly trained or have expensive equipment to continually bring in paycheck after paycheck for photos you took days, months, even years ago.
You just need to know a few important tips and techniques — or at least have them handy when you need them.
That’s the beauty of the PHOTO TIP CARDS…
Just imagine if you could put a pro like Rich in your pocket so you could ask him how to make the most of every shot every time — so you’d have professional, saleable pictures whenever your camera’s shutter clicks.
Well, that’s exactly why we put the PHOTO TIP CARDS together — so you can let a professional “call the shots,” so to speak, turning your memorable moments into great photos — and put cash in your pocket, too.
BIG HINT: Start taking your camera with you everywhere you go and stick the PHOTO TIP CARDS in your pocket so they’ll be handy.
With the PHOTO TIP CARDS, you can start taking amazing pictures of people you know and everyday things — you’ll be surprised by what kinds of photos can easily fetch $150 to $200 each!
It’s like carrying your own personal goldmine in your hip pocket!
Plus, now that summer’s around the corner, you’ll have even more photo opportunities at special events…
…like shots that capture the spirit of the season — the kids in a neighborhood parade, people waving flags…
…or say you’re at a family gathering…take a shot of your spouse helping your grandmother, or of the kids holding hands, skipping in the yard together — done right, those pictures of everyday fun can produce not just great memories…but paychecks, too.
…or maybe you’ll be taking a trip to the beach. Capture the joy on your child’s face as she plays and splashes in the water around her…
…or at the next little-league game, capture a shot of your son diving for home base…the coach encouraging his players…parents cheering…the explosion of joy when the team wins…and even the disappointment in the team that loses…
Any of those could be profitable shots.
Just daily activities could prove lucrative — a picture of your child riding a bicycle past a neighbor’s front garden…your dog catching a Frisbee…your daughter leaping off the diving board…or your husband and son walking together…these are all money-making photo opportunities.
Of course, if you like to travel, you’ll have tons of opportunity no matter where you go or who you travel with – some of the biggest paychecks could come from photos you take when traveling alone!
You can learn how to turn almost any situation into a paycheck. It’s easy, once you know the tips and techniques the pros use.
Your family and friends will think you’ve been practicing for years! Here’s just a few things you’ll always have at hand, once you’re carrying your own set of our exclusive (and free) PHOTO TIP CARDS…
I won’t tell a soul you skipped the years of study and practice, the thousands of dollars invested in mistakes…and I certainly won’t say that almost overnight you became a successful, well paid photographer who gets to travel as much or as little as you want…
...and in a matter of months, or even just a few weeks!
Right now, for a limited-time only, I’d like to send you these PHOTO TIP CARDS for FREE…
...and by “limited-time,” I mean this: You have just 5 days…
You see, I’d like to show you how to turn photography — whether it’s just a hobby for you or even if it’s already a real passion — into a money-earning venture.
So, in exchange for a FREE set of our PHOTO TIP CARDS, I’d like to ask you to give our photography program, Turn Your Pictures into Cash: A Comprehensive Program in Taking and Selling Amazing Photographs, a try for 30 days.
If you don’t like the advanced secrets you’ll learn in this program — secrets that will have editors and others buying your photos right, left, and center — just let me know within 30 days. We’re happy to give you a full and prompt refund.
However, I think you’ll find this program will please you immediately — the pictures you take will be more beautiful than ever…even breathtaking!
Practice the techniques you’ll learn, and within that same 30 days, you could have your first photo sold for $50…or even $150. Give it a few months, and you could easily see your earnings rise to $500 or more per photo.
Sue Wright, for instance, applied the same secrets you’ll have access to in Turn Your Pictures into Cash, and in less than four months, she’d earned nearly $1,500 for her photos
And, just like Rich Wagner with his shot of the river taken from the bridge, you’ll learn how to profitably sell and resell the same photo over and over again.
And when you agree to give Turn Your Pictures into Cash a try today – in the next 5 days— I’ll send you your very own set of PHOTO TIP CARDS, FREE.
Plus, I should explain, too, that the opportunities photography offers are not limited to money alone.
Within the next few months, you could be using your photographer status to travel to more places on less money…sometimes without even spending a penny.
Imagine, for instance, traveling to Kauai, a Hawaiian island. Renowned for its enchanting beauty, cascading emerald mountains, flower-bedecked streams, and swaying, palm- fringed shores…you stay there for a week, all expenses paid…snapping photos and enjoying an adventure on-the-house…
Or how about traveling to Tahiti for a vacation, but treating it like a self-assignment. You shoot plenty of pictures that you can sell when you return home.
Or imagine finding yourself in the Bahamas where most of your accommodation is paid for…plus touring a local zoo backstage and swimming with dolphins on a nearby island, all for free.
Each of these exotic trips are examples of trips taken by photographers I know that learned to combine their travel writing skills with photography (something else you’ll learn in Turn Your Pictures into Cash). And two of them are brand new to photography. Yet, that’s not stopping them from enjoying the perks and freedom this lifestyle offers.
It’s what you can expect too — and for doing something you probably already do anyway. After all, surely you pack your camera when you travel…or celebrate good times with your family and friends at birthday parties, weddings, and reunions.
Though, you must learn the secrets for making this lifestyle a reality.
And, you can, with Turn Your Pictures into Cash. In fact, use this program, and you’ll start taking saleable photographs within a month, even if all you can do is turn your camera on and set it to "automatic."
For example, you’ll learn:
...and much, much more.
Simply agree – in the next 5 days — to try out Turn Your Pictures into Cash. (Remember, it’s without risk. Simply test-drive this program for 30 days and return it unmarked if you don’t believe it can help you turn your everyday snapshots into cash.)
When you agree to try it, I’ll send you your FREE set of our new exclusive PHOTO TIP CARDS…
Plus that’s just the beginning. I’ll also send you —
FREE BONUS #1 -The Photographer’s Shortcut to Travel Writing Success: Go From Beginner to Professional Writer...Fast. If you submit an article with your photos (called an "article-photo package"), you’ll double - sometimes triple - your fee all in one go! Editors love receiving this kind of package because it makes their job easier, and they’re happy to pay you more for it.
After all, flip through any magazine or newspaper and what do you see along with the photos? Words! Can’t write? Don’t worry! This free guide will show you how to turn a blank page into a saleable article in no time, including how to submit an "article-photo package" to clients.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. Just take a look at Turn Your Pictures into Cash. It’s that simple. As I’ve said, you have my 100% satisfaction guarantee - if for any reason you’re not satisfied, let me know…and you’ll get a no-hassle refund when you return the unmarked materials within 30 days.
All the FREE BONUSES plus the free PHOTO TIP CARDS are yours to keep — even if you decide to cancel the program.
When you add up all the bonuses you’re getting, it’s an unbeatable deal. Plus, Turn Your Pictures into Cash is affordable - just $49 to get started.
If you’re thrilled with what you’re discovering, and you can’t wait to turn your skill up another notch, we’ll continue to send you the remaining 11 installments ($39 each).
In fact, with each passing month, you’ll find your photos becoming more and more sophisticated…more professional…more creative. But if I’m wrong, you can cancel at anytime. And, here’s something else…
If you apply the secrets you’ll learn in Turn Your Pictures into Cash, the program can literally pay for itself — and leave you with money left over.
For instance, if you were to sell just one photo a month at $150-you’d very quickly cover your costs.
And $150 is a very conservative number. You could easily make $200 - $500 from a single shot — even as a newbie.
Consider, Lynnia Allison from Miami, Florida. A newbie like you, she attended and photographed an alternative "Miss Florida 2005" challenge and was subsequently invited to do a gallery exhibit. Of those she included in the exhibit, four of her photos sold for $500 each - and one was auctioned at a benefit for tax credit.
Katherine Pendill, another newbie to photography, sold one picture she took while she was in Paris, as well as two more from her trips to Italy and New England. So far she’s earned $450 for her photographs.
You don’t have to travel far to make money either. Rich Wagner, a principle author of Turn Your Pictures into Cash, sells photographs of his hometown in Connecticut for $400 - $700 a piece. Who buys them? The very same people who live in that very same hometown.
You don’t even have to leave your house to make money…
Our long-term success is tied to you – to the success you have in becoming a money-making photographer.
Here’s how it works: The more folks like you who begin to earn money from your photos, the better we look and the more “in demand” our programs become.
It’s as simple as that.
That’s why our office walls are covered in framed letters from the dozens and dozens of people who have changed their lives through one of our programs. We are very proud of our record so far. Every time we get another unsolicited testimonial, it makes us all think, “This is why we like our jobs!”
We are proud of our success and hopeful it will continue. But we have a challenge. You see, a large percentage of the people who buy our programs don’t do much more than open the package, skim through it, and put it on a shelf, promising themselves they will “get to it later.”
Given how busy everyone is these days, this is to be expected. But when eight out of ten buyers are not following through on the program, it makes us look bad. When asked, “How many of those people who buy your program end up turning a profit on their photos?” we have to answer honestly, “Too few.”
But that’s a good thing for you if you are one of the 20% persistent enough to complete the program and put what you learn into practice.
If you’re willing to stick with us, complete the program and work on building your photography skills day by day, then your chances of turning your images into an income will be very good. We know this because that’s what our most successful members have told us– they had a strong desire to succeed, and we gave them all the tools they needed to do it.
So take heart – if you have the determination to stay with us, we have the program that will help you succeed. And it goes without saying that whatever you do, your 100% satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
And then there’s Shelly Perry. She earns, on average, $.87 per photo per month with an online stock agency.
That may not sound like much, but it adds up, and a photo can resell many, many times. "There’s a trick," Shelly told me. "My best-selling pictures aren’t necessarily the ones you’d think. In fact, my best-selling image is of a standard-issue red velvet curtain. And now I’m making about $1,500 a month in royalties. I keep telling my friends: ’You guys need to do this!’ It’s so easy and it’s fun too."
What could you do with an extra $1,500 a month? It could pay a bill or fund a weekend getaway. You could put it into your savings. Or, anything else you desired. Plus, the more photos you take, the more money you generate.
It’s incredible. I mean, even if Shelly stopped taking photos today, she’d still continue to earn royalties for the life of her photographs. Not a bad deal if you ask me. And, you’ll learn how to break into stock photography in Turn Your Pictures into Cash too.
But, that’s just one of many, many markets you’ll learn how to break into. You’ll learn how to break into travel photography, sports photography, fine art photography, corporate photography, portrait photography and countless others.
You’re going to love it. And, with your special PHOTO TIP CARDS, you’ll produce tons of great, saleable professional-looking shots.
In fact, with the PHOTO TIP CARDS in your pocket, you can’t go wrong — they’ll have you taking salable shots…IMMEDIATELY! Shots so good, the pros in your hometown may get a little green with envy!

P.S. And here’s what one satisfied photographer had to say about the PHOTO TIP CARDS — “I was in Charleston for the photo class - it was a wonderful experience! I wanted to let you know that I just had a chance to really look at the PHOTO TIP CARDS you gave out at the class - I LOVE them! They’re just what I needed to help me get started trying to figure out what exposure settings I need for various situations. From now on, I won’t leave home without them - they will always be in my bag.” – Sue L.
