Quote - Connatic, I have never, ever seen a question about "how do I make money doing X?" where the responses weren't almost all negative and filled with doom and gloom. It doesn't matter what X is - commercial real estate, programming, digging ditches, selling small parts of you body to starving dogs - it's always negative. I don't understand the phenomen.

Still, Poser doesn't seem to lend itself to too many opportunities, especially if you are looking at what you do as fine art. A more productive approach IMO would be to see yourself as a commercial artist. I can easily see Poser used to illustrate children's books, technical manuals or comic books.

I don't think this thread has been full of almost all negative doom and gloom.

On the contrary, I think it's been overwhelmingly positive.

Unless of course by "negative" you mean telling people that in order to make money they will probably have to work pretty hard.

All self-employment takes hard work. It's not like being at the office and being able to take time to surf the web and post in forums because you feel like a having a break -- all afternoon -- because your boss isn't watching. When you're self-employed, the boss is  ALWAYS watching. And if you want to make a livable paycheck, (at least in the beginning) that boss needs to be a hard-ass. But other than that, making money selling things is totally possible.
