10 ways to make money with your drone (Part 2/10)

Door to door drone pictures

People with nice houses like seeing their nice house

I originally used this idea when drones were not so common and I would take pictures of nice houses and offer the pictures to owners of the house for $50-100 depending on the luxury level.  Fast forward a few years and I think people would feel that their privacy has been invaded so I would not recommend that method anymore.  Instead, get permission first.  You would find a street with several cool houses and knock on the door and show them an example shot.  Offer to give them a digital file on the spot for $50-100 if they love it.  
If knocking on doors is not something you want to do, you could also print up a one page flyer and leave it on their door step or mailbox.  You can get really creative with this idea and offer to deliver the picture on canvas or in print as an upsell.  You could offer to come take a picture of the house from the same angle in every season generating a nice recurring revenue stream for a year.  Who would not like a 4 paneled 4 season shot of their awesome house?

​If you do a good job your work will be shared with other people and they will want the same thing done to their house.  Getting several houses in one area is the key to making this profitable.  These people are not going to be using your photo to make money, it is more of a novelty to see their property from the air so they will not be willing to pay as much as a realtor.
