For insurance companies and Private Investigators you will need to have some evidence photography experience.  \n\nI don't know what you mean by real estate, are you talking about photos of houses for sale?  If so, just talk to a realtor, but be warned, they don't like to pay because that is less money for them in the end, and if they have a digital camera they can do it themselves.\n\nFor more information on evidence photography you can contact EPIC (Evidence Photographers International Council) at http://www.epic-photo.org

You must be prepared to shoot in a fast paced environtment.\nAlso you must have up to date equiptment such as like a canon 1d and a good tamron telephoto lense.You can expect to have a lot of money wrapped up in photography if your not carefull.Positioning is key.Up close and personal is what people like, just beware if you get too close you can become part of the game !

Many corporations are like that not just walmart. Unless you have specific permission from the company you can't do it. You have to understand they sell products for many companies and each one is a client and that  client may object to a photograph even if its in the background nd ur taking a pic of your aunt at work. I used to work for a telemarketing firm, with the new cell phone technology with camera phones anyone caught doing that was fired. Try walking into a casino at las Vegas and taking pics of a friend sitting at a slot see what happens. I don't recommend it.

www.shutterfly.com is good.  I'm not sure about the payouts, but the service is really good.  I've used it a lot, and so have my friends who view my photos.

What I suggest is taking some classes, buying some books, and job shadowing a photographer or two in your town.

Since you asked this question under the insurance catagory, I'm assuming you're looking for an insurance job.  Try either Allstate or State Farm.  They both have programs that will help you start your own agency

make phone calls to get business license, local paper advertising, (offer a special to the first 10 or whatever you think) put decals on your vehicle towards advertising, buy a book of professional invoices to leave with clients that have thin paper as a second copy for you to keep for your own records, grab a little filing cabinet for the clerical stuff to be filed into, have the local stationary shop create some business cards for the both of you to hand out to serious inquiries, post a few up on billboards, have a picture taken of the two of you together in your work garb to put up somewhere you see fit, establish monthly clientele where possible.

First either you, a friend, or hire someone to take good pics, preferably digital.  Find software that you are comfortable with that you can design catalog with and then print on quality printer and paper. Or find an inexpensive printing place and find out what software they use so you can design it and transfer to them for print.  Last just hire a printer to do it all.

Hire a sales rep. I used to do telemarketing in the insurance business. It has been several years. It was a good paying job at the time. I am not sure how telemarketing flys these days .

Start taking pictures of bands.\n\nFind some local bands, contact them and take some free pictures.  Let them know you're trying to do it professionally and to spread the word.  Local bands are always looking for people to help them get images for websites, flyers, EP covers, and to satisfy their own vanity.
