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.

How does one start earning money as a photographer? And how important is it to have the best equipment?

Get a local business to let you hang some work (bar, coffee shop, etc).

Book and hang a show at the local arts center if there is one.

Social media although it pretty saturated (no pun intended). Everyone expects a modern photographer to have a social presence.

As for you gear, generally no. You do not need the best (and there is no consensus on what the best is). You need gear you can operate confidently that is appropriate (enough) for your genre. If you must have the best, get a Phase One.
