How to Start a Home-Based Photography Business, 5th (Home-Based Business Series)
From estimating your start-up costs and setting up your darkroom to staying profitable once you’re in business, this comprehensive guide has it all for aspiring photography professionals.
Customer Review: Useless…
This book was the biggest waste of time. It is completely out dated and extremely vague. It offers no specifics about the legal aspects of starting a business or much of anything at all. If you have an ounce of common sense there is no need to purchase this text.
If you are looking for book that will cover everything you need to know about starting your own photography business I would highly recommend Photography: Focus on Profit by Tom Zimberoff. Zimberoff’s book is the best purchase I’ve ever made.
Customer Review: Excellent for the new photographer
Excellent for the new Photographer! If you want to start a business and make money read this book. It covers all the bases and gives you all the keys to succeed.

Customer Review: Light on information
Salzberg’s experience in the pet care industry comes from her work as a groomer, and her book reflects this. While she does briefly cover such topics as pet sitting/dog walking and obedience training with a chapter on each, there isn’t a whole lot of information here for someone hoping to break into one of these businesses. There is much more in depth information for those hoping to start a grooming business, but even so about half the book covers general how to start your own business information with a chapter each on starting a business, creating a home office, accounting, insurance, banking and the basics of working at home - none of the information in these chapters was specific to the pet care industry. Some “fluff” on the history of pet grooming and the increasing amount of money people spend on their pets rounded out the information. This book probably won’t prove useful to anyone who wants more than a brief overview of getting into the pet care business. Salzberg herself recomends the books Pet Sitting for Profitby Patti J. Moran and The Professional Pet Sitter: Your Guide to Starting and Operating a Successful Service Edition 2005 Newly-Revised Includes Business Formsby Lori and Scott Mangold and these would probably prove better bets for people looking for detailed information on getting into the animal care business.
Customer Review: Focus on dog grooming business
This book was informative however please note that it is very US focussed and will not be of great assistance with regards to regulations in other countries.
The book did not provide an all round knowledgebase for setting up a dog walking business - mainly focussed on grooming.
