If you're so untalented and anti-social that you're posting meme faces online as your attempt to get a career, I can guarantee you will not make a living in photography.

Photography is 99% networking, communication, advertisement, traveling, sales pitches, human-to-human friendly social interactions and other hustling.

If you were a pro-active pro-social busy hustler like that, you wouldn't be "sick of being jobless", you'd Already have a job.

Thanks to hobbyists, there is no demand for low efforters. That supply is already full and then some.

that's just not true. photography is 99% talent. if you're really talented and passionate about being professional, you'll be professional. people will eventually notice you.

that's bullshit and you know it. talent will only take you so far. same thing if you're an average shooter but excel at branding, social media, networking, etc.

Product photography is a valid profession and can be done on the cheap end with decent results.

Wedding photographer here with a successful business.

I'd say talent is 40%. The other 60% is marketing, network etc.

and marketing can't happen without people recommending you to others. and that can't happen without talent, without people being satisfied by your work.

take pictures. upload them to social media. a lot. then your closest relatives will ask you to take pictures of their cookies or clothes. then they tag you in their posts. then they ask more. then they have friends who want to ask you to take pics of their stuffs. etc etc. you don't have to be a talkative social butterfly, you just need to set your priorities right and be passionate about what you do and want success bad enough. sociability is always a bonus in everything, and social anxiety is always an obstacle in everything, but being a photographer is not the same as being a sales marketer or radio announcer.
