I’m curious how to find information on how to start a business like this. There is no info on his site on how to sign up or start in your own area.

I am also curious about using my digital photography skills to start such a business in Arizona. Tips on how to get started?

This type of business has been on my mind for a while now. I wasn’t sure if there was any information out there on this or not. I am in the Missouri Ozark region. Any help or ideas out there would be appriciated.

Thank you very much for the mention of Kelly’s show on The Small Business Trends Radio Show.
This particular show has been a very popular one, indeed, and Kelly provided a lot of useful tips and information regarding this particular business venture.
Once again, thank you, and be sure to check back often. Given the popularity of Kelly’s show, we are looking to do more shows like this.

You know, that’s one thing I love about the real estate business! There will always be a need for photographers, because that is simply one thing the internet cannot automate.
Now, of course, more and more people will be taking their own photos as time goes on, but if you’re really good and have a talent for the profession, it’s a great idea!

Nick, you are right. Good images are at the core of any marketing, Real Estate or other, and Good Photography will be VERY hard to replace in a cost effective way.
