<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3403253, member: 20480&quot;]More important than getting insurance and plunging into business quickly is to develop your skills and a business plan.&nbsp; Shooting great photos - not good ones - is essential to growing a successful imaging business in this industry.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can tell you that because, while I feel I can shoot passable photos of my coins, no one has ever, and I do mean never asked me to photograph their coins for them.&nbsp; </p><p>My focus (pun intended) is profiting from the purchase and sale of collectible coins, and not from the sale of my photographic skills.&nbsp; Yours, apparently being flipped the other way around, demands that your photographic skills be vastly superior to mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no need for insurance when shooting only low value coins because every insurance policy will have a significant deductible anyway . . . typically a couple hundred dollars per loss.&nbsp; For that reason, I suggest that you start with coins which are very low in value and work on becoming consistently excellent with your results.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You should gear your efforts toward shooting more expensive coinage only after you have people banging down your door for your services.&nbsp; When that happens, you&#039;ll know you are good enough to make it in a market where revenues will pay you back for the premiums you pay on a business insurance policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
