Hi Dan

Well, speaking from someone who is also trying to get this up and running, I'll tell you that you need to make sure you know the ins and outs of most things.

Do you have any teaching experience? It's not always as easy as you think. You will inevitably get some smart one who will test your patience! You have to be ready to deal with this.

Just having nice pictures isn't the be all and end all. It is getting known and getting out there.

I've now been doing freelance writing and photography for a year now full time. It is a git as there is so much competition out there. You also have to remember that the market is saturated with people doing workshops as it's seen as a potential way to get easy money (it's not).

The days are long, hard and very tiring!
