Dear Photographer,
To most folks, a box of crayons is a box of crayons. They just sit there till someone feels inspired to doodle. But to Shelly Perry, a box of crayons is the ticket to some easy cash…
In fact, one day she snapped a few photos of a crayon box up-close... and now she's sold those snapshots she took 91 times…
It's the same thing with her vacations. Take Paris. She enjoyed the cafes… the lavish meals… the leisurely strolls along the Seine. And she snapped pictures as she went — just like we all do when we're on vacation.
Only Shelly didn't just slide hers into an album when she got home. She sold them. In fact, she's still selling them. And she's spending zero time doing it.
They sell themselves. Even while she's sleeping. And she just collects the checks.
Shelly's photos have shown up all over the world — in glossy magazines like Oprah, Good Housekeeping, and Redbook. On a poster-size ad in a bank window in Chicago. In a coffee-table travel guide to Paris. Even on the big screens behind singer Chris Daughtry in the 2007 American Music Awards.
All because she put them in an online stock photo agency… which is something you can easily do, too.
It doesn't take any special equipment. Or years of experience. In fact, if you can snap a simple photograph, you can do it.
It's just a matter of learning a few easy secrets about what sells best. And let me assure you: It's not rocket science
Really, this is just as easily something you can do in your spare time — when you want to, when the urge strikes… and still make money with it.
It's perfectly reasonable to think you could go out and snap photos a handful of hours a week — maybe just Saturday mornings, if that's what you wanted — and earn a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a month for your efforts.
Not a bad deal when you think about it.
Sound too good to be true? Well, that's exactly what our photo workshop attendees in Austin, TX learned from our panel of experts.
They walked away knowing exactly how to quickly, easily, and enjoyably turn an interest in photography — even if all they’d ever done was take family shots at holiday time or on vacation — into fast, fun, easy cash.
In their spare time. No experience necessary.
…and now you, too, can hear directly from our experts exactly how it's done… all from the comfort of your own home.
We recorded (all of it -- so you don’t have to miss out). It brings decades of photo expertise directly to you. (In fact, our workshop is so intense and content-rich that many attendees at our live events take advantage of these recordings, saying there's incredible value in being able to review and absorb at your own pace.)
With this online audio workshop, created under the direction of professional photographers Rich Wagner and Shelly Perry, you’ll gain a systematic approach to taking photos that sell that anyone can follow...
...a system that, when coupled with a bit of persistence, is so powerful that our past workshop attendees are getting their photos sold faster (and more frequently) than they ever imagined possible. And they're cashing in on the opportunity to meet new people, the chance to see the world in a whole new way... and the pleasure in doing all of that and getting paid for it, too.
In The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package you'll learn…
And you’ll also be introduced to other lucrative markets — some sort of quirky — like selling your photos to health newsletters and getting your foot in the door at your local schools. Plus then there's a whole other market in shooting pictures for church directories.
You’ll hear from experts who've done it speak about all of those things. Share their secrets. Tell you what really works in the real world — and what doesn't. I mean, that alone will guarantee you're ramped up for success before you even get started.
That's what The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package is about, really. The idea that you can get started with no experience at all. Just a simple digital camera. And under the guidance of a handful of seasoned pros you’ll learn exactly what you need to know to turn photos of your next vacation… your own hometown… and even your pets… into fast, fun, easy cash. In your spare time. No experience necessary.
If you've been to one of our photo workshops before, you’re going to feel like The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package is an entirely new program. We have so many new, money-making ideas to share — you'll be positively inspired.
Of course, we're going to have all the great eye-opening material our attendees always rave about, too. It's all of that — plus 100% more.
Whether you have little experience and modest equipment or you're already a talented photographer, you'll benefit from the insightful tips and secrets revealed in Austin.
You'll learn what makes a great composition, and how to get the perfect exposure with every shot. And you'll be able to practice those fundamentals at your own pace, on your own time. By the time you’ve listened to every tip and fine-tuned every technique our experts so willingly share, I promise you: You'll be taking photos you can't believe are yours.
But most importantly, you'll find out exactly what you need to do to make your photographs saleable.
Take Lynnia Allison from Miami, FL, for instance. Before she joined us at our Bahamas workshop, she'd never sold a photo. But a handful of weeks after she got home, she took the advice she'd learned about taking advantage of local opportunities.
She attended and photographed a "Miss Florida 2005 for Transsexuals" contest and was subsequently invited to do a gallery exhibit. Of those she included in the exhibit, four sold for $500 each — and one was auctioned at a benefit for tax credit.
Shannon Twiss is another example. After attending our workshop in Paris, she sent me this note…
"Just thought I would pass on a little good news to you. I went to Appalachia on a photo trip in September… I sold a picture [from that trip] not just once, but twice!!! (for $250 a pop!) I also have sold my Paris bike picture twice since coming home and have more interest in some of my other photos. Hopefully this is just the beginning!!! Thanks for everything. Hope you and Rich are doing well and I will see you again at another workshop soon."
“The workshop was well done in every way and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to photographers (even hobbyist and amateurs). I will definitely be interested in taking other AWAI workshops.”
— Pam Spivey
Five hundred dollars from a single trip. Now that's a great way to defray your travel costs. And it's easily something you can do, too.
Mary Ann Hamilton attended our Paris photography workshop too, and when she returned home, she promptly got three photos shown at the Annual Holiday Members show at the Arts Center of St. Petersburg.
Brenda McGill, one of our workshop attendees from Washington, DC, put what she learned there into action. And soon after, she'd earned her first published photo credit and by-line at SensibleLife.com.
This time around, in Austin, we made sure this was the best Money-Making Photography Workshop ever. And with The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package, you won’t miss one word.
"When an article/photo package arrives from a freelancer, I'll often look at the photos first. If there's a photo enticing enough to run above the fold with enough secondary photos to sustain a jump [to the rest of the article later in the paper] and perhaps a sidebar or two, as well as any 'to go' or detail information, I'll read the story. Occasionally, truly stunning photographs will carry a mediocre story, but rarely is the reverse true. A great read is usually not enough to hold up terrible photography."
— Kyle Wagner,
Travel Editor at the
Denver Post
You'll…
Plus, as I've said, we’ve added lots of new “advanced” sessions with a special focus on new markets you can break into…
You’re really going to love this Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package — even if you’re only an amateur, who's only taken snapshots at birthday parties. You are qualified! Anyone can learn to do this!
With more speakers than ever, you will learn even more of the trade secrets professional photographers use to land paying gigs and sell their photos for cash.
The information you'll gain from these audio recordings could, quite literally, change your life.
So many of our workshop attendees have earned back the price of admission within a few short months of attending one of our programs… Sue Wright… Lynnia Allison… Sandra Kennedy… Roy Stevenson…
10. If you like taking pictures of your family or snapping vacation photos on your vacations, then you've got the basics to make it in this business.

“It gave me more than I ever dreamed I would learn. I feel like now I can get started somewhere.”
— Jackie Miller

— Janie Glenn

You’ll hear directly from the Art Director at ExpressLane Magazine, the in-flight for Express Jet. She’ll share the secrets, tips, and tactics to quickly and easily crack one of the industry's most lucrative (and glamorous) markets.
7. A glossy magazine photo can earn you anywhere from $200 to $1200… if, that is, you know what photo editors are after. And that's just one of the important secrets you'll learn from this Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package.

In The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package, a whole new world of opportunity will open up before you. If you’re looking for a new sideline career or a career change altogether, you won’t want to miss this information.
5. Who better to know what it takes to break into the stock photography market than a stock photography photo inspector (that’s someone who is paid to analyze the photos that are submitted for stock and either accept or reject them) and a top stock photography seller with over 600,000 downloads to her name. Both women were in Austin and we caught their every insight in The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package. You’ll be shocked at how shy they are. If they can make it in this business, the rest of us that hide behind our lens certainly can.
4. Because AWAI publishes a graphic design program in addition to their travel writing and photography programs, we have the inside scoop on what kinds of photographs graphic designers are looking for. One health newsletter designer gave me a list of photos she simply can’t find in her stash. I’m going to give you that list in The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package so you’ll know exactly what kinds of pictures she’s looking for.
3. You won’t find access to information like this anywhere else. At our workshops, we make it our business to let you know exactly what editors, photo buyers and stock agencies want. You can’t find this information on the street and it would take you years of trial-and-error to learn it for yourself. There IS no better way to get started.
2. Don't forget the money: You'll find out exactly what you need to do to make your photographs saleable in addition to all the sessions you’ll get on improving your photography from the start.

Bring a whole new dimension of fun and enjoyment to your life. And provide easy cash, too.
You'll get access to every secret uncovered by these industry experts and guidance from professional photographers and writers who will share with you the insights they've learned on-the-job. It'll shave years off your learning curve and set you up for success from the start.
And you won’t have to pay the workshop price. I'll give you the numbers in a minute…
First, though, let me introduce you to our experts:
Rich Wagner is a highly skilled digital photographer. His images hang in public corporations and private foundations from San Diego to Boston and in homes from the Americas to the Far East. He’s a master at teaching just about anyone how to take better pictures. He will guide you through shooting digital photos, explaining to you everything from how to choose the camera that's right for you to where to find lucrative local opportunities that can easily fund your travels or create a second income stream for you and your family.
“Rich has so much experience and is able to teach great techniques in a simple manner. Anyone can take great photos after listening to his presentations.”
— Gloria M.
Now, Rich isn't the only expert you’ll hear from, of course! Let me also introduce you to the rest of the experts who have taken our past participants — often folks with little or no previous photography experience — and turned them into income-earning photographers…
These experts have decades of photo-marketing experience — every one of them. And there’s nothing like getting the insider secrets straight from the pros… the off-the-cuff remarks… the encouragement…
Shelly Perry specializes in “people” photography. She is especially known for her photos of children. Her images have been seen all over the globe on music CD covers, books, magazines, catalogues, websites, ad campaigns, and even on TV. Her work has also appeared in several local exhibits and gallery shows.
Shelly provides you with the know-how you need to break into online stock agencies and establish an ongoing source of passive income.
Lise Gagne, the number one, top-selling photographer at iStockphoto.com. With over 600,000 downloads, Lise blows most photographers out of the water in terms of sales. In a recent interview she said: “I love it [stock photography] so much that I haven’t even felt the need to take a vacation for quite a while. All my trips are for stock-related events and visits.”
“Shelly Perry makes lighting and home studio work doable. She is encouraging and offers suggestions that help you think of ways to improve your work.”
— Chere H.
In The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package, you’ll hear all about how she got to the top. (You might be surprised to know that she started with very little experience and a camera she couldn’t afford to upgrade. You’ll hear more about that on the recordings.)
Ward Thurman is another photographer good at finding opportunities in his own hometown. He takes photographs for businesses, schools and churches and charges anywhere from $200 to $1,000 and even up to $5,000 for photographs depending on his client’s needs.
Ward will provide you with an insight into your local (and lucrative) church and school market.
Plus we invited more guest speakers, too — more professional photographers… glossy magazine editors who tell you what they look for in a photo… and you'll hear from other folks just like you — novice, could-barely-use-my-camera folks who, today, are taking — and selling — amazing photos. And having a great time, too!
In effect, this is your best opportunity to jump into the travel photographer’s life this year...
Whether you're interested in adding photos to your travel articles… or you're looking for a way to turn a "hobby" into an income-producing pastime… or you're interested in, quite simply, learning and perfecting a skill that can provide you endless enjoyment, prestige, and fun…
Attendees at the live Ultimate Money-Making Photo Workshop in Austin, TX paid up to $1,697 to listen to the experts… to get the "inside scoop" on everything from how to fund your travels before leaving home… to an inside look at getting your photographs into magazines and newspapers … and so much more.
Although, it must be said, there's no substitute for face-to-face interaction with our experts, I'd like to offer you the next-best thing – until you get the chance to attend one of our live Ultimate Money-Making Photo Workshops for yourself.
“I thought Shelly added a lot to this workshop because of her personal stories. She’s relatively new to the field. I felt I could identify with her. And because she’s so successful; she shared her process.”
— Clea French
“I really appreciated Shelly’s info and expertise and learned about two areas that I probably will consider now and would not have before: stock and model/portrait photography.”
— Jeannine Bourdeaux
In The Ultimate Photo Workshop-At-Home Online Package you’ll receive:
We’ll also throw in a bonus presentation by Barbara Winter – author of the best-selling Making a Living Without a Job and Jumpstart Your Entrepreneurial Spirit. A much sought-after speaker and self-employment advocate, Barbara grew up in a family with more wanderlust than travel funds. And so when she discovered her own entrepreneurial spirit, she realized that her business could be a vehicle for seeing the world. Since 1989, she has made more than 40 tax-deductible trips abroad.
Barbara teaches seminars throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and has helped thousands of folks create for themselves what she calls "joyfully jobless" lives. And in this bonus presentation, she'll hand over useful guidelines and hard-won secrets about what it takes to turn an avocation into an income-earning business… and spare you an untold number of rookie mistakes.
Plus a second bonus presentation by Lise Gagne – a Canadian microstock photographer, who has just reached 636,000 image downloads through iStockphoto. A registered member since 2003, Lise was the first to become a full-time, exclusive iStock photographer. The over 5,300 pieces of Lise's work represented by iStock have each been downloaded an average of 100 times, earning her a six-figure income -- enough to not just rent but own studio space..
Today Lise is an iStock legend, and she was on hand in Austin to tell you how she did it and how you can put stock photography to work for you too.
Put all these resources together, and you'll be able to listen to the recordings and follow along with the presentation – taking part just as you would if you were in the room with the experts.
You'll be able to go out and practice what you learn, too. And it's through those practice sessions that you gain the sort of "ah ha" moments our participants talk about… those times when something just clicks and all of a sudden you feel yourself take a giant leap forward.
