I posted this about a year ago and thought some may be able to benefit from  it's rebirth.

Wanna make some money from your "lousy TFP's? Here's how.

With all of the online communities popping up (Myspace, Yahoo Groups, etc..) and with a bit of clever marketing skill you should be able to easily build a fan club.

From your TFP shoots, sell autographed 8X10 prints to your fans via your fan club.

Photographer gets paid when you purchase the prints for resale. And you get paid when you sell them. Everybody wins.

Why stop with prints? With an agreement worked out between yourself and the photographer you can sell your photos on just about anything imagineable. Mouse pads, coffee cups, keychains, you name it.

And the beauty of it all? You can set your own limits since you're in business for yourself.

Of course this is just a basic outline of how to turn TFP into cash. There's a little more to it. But this should give you a few ideas that might help you get the ball rolling.

I think this should work.  I have a photographer friend in Indiana who has put calendars together on CafePress.com of his llamas and sells them from there.
