    Is this a money earner

    Hello everyone.
    So I've been looking into the possibility of making a living by renovating old photographs.
    I've done this for people in the past (For free) and I love the challenge and satisfaction.

    Does anyone know if this is a worthwhile thing to go for. Can you earn much money doing it? Are there plenty of people interested in having photographs renovated?

    Any advice would be great, as google hasn't been that helpful so far.

    Thanks

    Seems to be a lot of places doing it, only advice I can offer is to do a google search for "photo restoration" rather than renovation. There is tons of stuff out there.

    When I first got into the digital prepress field back in the mid 90s, it was a very lucrative field. Not sure where it stands right now, as the software exists to do it yourself, but for a lot of people they don't know what they're doing so I would think there would still be a market for it.

    Thanks guys.
    I'm gonna place some adverts around and maybe make a flier to post in peoples houses. Just to see what response I get.
    I was thinking of £10 per photo for now as I've seen others do it for about £20.

    Re: Is this a money earner

    The idea of earning money through online platforms is intriguing, but it often comes with unrealistic expectations. Consistency, rules, and platform reliability all matter far more than promotional claims. While I’ve been researching options, rolling slots bonus appeared in the middle of my comparisons as a platform that seemed structured rather than purely hype-driven. I’m still evaluating, because I want to understand how much genuine earning potential exists and whether the environment feels sustainable for long-term use.
