What is the best way to start a photography business besides opening a portrait studio?



Are there any "real" websites for freelance or stock photo sales?

Do some friends and family at a great discounted price on the condition they advertise for you.
here are some search results for "freelance or stock photo sales鈥?br /> http://www.yabloog.com/freelance_stock_p...
Take your book and go see some local photographers whose work is similar to what you shoot and try to get a job as an assistant. Work for about 5 years and by that time you should have enough biz skills, contacts and knowledge to be successful as a freelance photographer

You can file your pictures with a stock agency and wait for someone to chance upon one and offer to buy it. You can try to shop your own stock images to local markets. You can send queries with thumbnails to non-local markets. You can try to get that "make my career" shot and sell it to the highest bidder.

Freelancing is very much a feast to famine type of existence, and when you're first getting started, you'll find it's much more of a famine to famine existence.
The best way is word of mouth referrals from family and friends. It's the only way to grow from a fresh start without a reputation for being good. Esecially if you don't have an excellent portfolio that speaks for itself.
