During these tough economic times, people look for ways to increase family income. If you love photography and have a Bichon Frize, why not earn a little extra money with your Bichon Frize photos?

Before you even consider making money off your pet photos, first take a good look at your dog. If your Bichon Frize doesn’t look like a cute dust puff and looks more like a dust bunny, you need to give your pet a good grooming first. Cut out all the mats and tangles and give her a warm, relaxing bath. If you have a little money to spare, ask a professional groomer to give your dog a special haircut, such as the Teddy Bear Cut or the Panda Cut. Once your Bichon is in his cute and adorable form, you can start clicking with your camera. You can keep your camera on standby for any “cute” moment, like when you suddenly collapse onto your back to ask for a tummy rub or during a boisterous Bichon Buzz.

Even if you’ve taken all of your pictures and you’re still not convinced that this could be a profitable venture, just take a look at the hits that Bichon Frize images get on the web. Those five-digit numbers are indicative of how popular the Bichon Frize dog is.

There are several ways to earn money from Bichon Frize photos. One way is to make art prints of your photos. If you already have several good photos on hand, put them in an online gallery and sell them in large poster size.

If you are a photographer and a computer whiz, you might want to get into the stationery business. You can sell greeting cards, Post it notes, and notepads with a photo or two of your Bichon. You can get a tie from a print shop that specializes in personalized items such as T-shirts and mugs.

Did you know that your Bichon can be a fashionista’s best friend? So, try investing in Metaza. Metaza is a special engraving machine and software that is capable of transferring (or engraving) images of your Bichon Frize onto silver or gold metal plates. You can have Bichon photos stamped onto metal bookmarks, pendants, locket, and lucky charms.

Don’t let your Bichon pictures stay stored inside an album or your scrapbook. By being resourceful and creative, you can transform your Bichon images into a profitable, money-making venture.
