A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Without seeing your portfolio, no one can really say too much that's definitive.

So what genre are you looking to shoot? What sort of portfolio do you have, and do you have a site set up to show it to others? What can you offer that people can't find with other photographers in your area?

And in the end, why do you want to make it a business?

Making money with photography is more about business skills than ability as a photographer. If you're interested in the business aspect, focus on that. If you're not, and just want to shoot for the joy of shooting, why ruin it with the stress of running a business? If it's more of a need for money, there are far easier and more reliable ways to get a paycheck. If you just want a bit of extra income from something you enjoy doing, then just have fun with it, charge a fair price for shoots when people ask, and don't expect too much if you aren't actively marketing.
