"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
For all photographers :)

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I found a free ebook with some info that I think could get you started on.

Don't buy that stuff...
Go to flickr.com and search around the groups. I used a bunch of sites that paid royalties every time someone downloaded them. You can definitely get money this way, but you have to have photos that are NEEDED and meet the site's qualifications. They judge some of yours when you first sign up, and if they don't pass, you don't get to post your photos and make money.

I have a flickr site that I post some of my stuff when I'm not lazy.
Other sites.. check our fredmiranda, I find tons of helpful info on there; as most of the shooters do it as their main job.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Do a search through some of my earlier posts regarding photography and you should find a wealth of information on sites to visit.
As for this thread, it's a scam. What they're trying to "sell" is an opening into a stock photography market. Most (if not all) of the reputable stock photography websites... backtrack... stock photography is pictures of generic things such as houses, carrots, smiling couples, etc. A photographer I've done some work for in the past has made a small fortune simply off of one stock photo he took in his studio of a small shopping cart loaded with groceries. Apparently the European grocery market found it and started using it to an extreme degree. Then again, he has a $46k camera and a full studio setup, but the end result is that in order to make a lot of money as a stock photographer, you have to have the right equipment and invest more time into it than most people have free. After all, what's so different about the stock photos you're taking than the stock photos taken by Joe Blow in New York?
Sure, photography is fun. I still think I'm lucky making ~$50/hr taking pictures of all sorts of things, from events to portraits, especially as I'm still in school for another 9 months and would rather take pictures than find a 'real' job. I've done it for years, and I'll probably keep doing it for even longer. However, short of the guy I was talking about earlier, I've not seen anybody make anywhere near $250/hr working from home. What they'll do is have you pay your money, get generic information you could find for yourself on google, and laugh all the way to the bank.

its probably a digital large format camera that have enormous sensors like 20 megapixels.
but you don't need that to take photos worthy of magazines, its all about the lighting.
but i definatly agree with diablo about it being a scam. there are very few people who make a livable salary on photography.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
