You gotta want to do "types" of photography. I have made money with Horses. Show horses, jumping horses, cutting horses etc. The owners pay HUGE money for shots of their horses. (150+ for 8X10's).
Auto racing too.
Food is another way. Commerical photography is great for buckage.
But I am sure you mean to be a photographer and sell your work without any "type". You can do that also. From April to Dec there are street fairs,art festivals all over your area where you can sell your work. Frame it up yourself, by buying frames at a wholesale framer (you actually will make more on the frames)and assembling, matting etc yourself. Do postcards and notecards of your ten best shots, this will pay for your space at every festival you attend.
Be sure to have at least three sizes of your work availble all fully framed, matted or photo with backing. Use photo bags for storage.
Use an easy-up, with walls and one of the art work display wall systems. Do not try to build your own, they never tuurn out as nice and cheapen your work. Use nice lighting. Have bins for unframed work and cover the walls with framed pieces.
Always have some frames avaiable to build on site (the black metal frames are good for this).
