The cost of doing business…
Recently I was participating in a thread in one of the photo communities that I enjoy, and the subject of the cost of doing business came up. I decided to take a serious look into the costs associated with being an event or wedding photographer.

Monetizing the site? What the heck is that? They told me about banner ads, Pay-per-clicks, and referral profit sharing through companies like Google, Amazon, and even B&H. I love these companies!
