📖 The Hustle
Curate and create content featuring abandoned buildings, forgotten amusement parks, ghost towns, and decaying architecture. Combine original photography with reposted content from urbex photographers. Abandoned place content taps into deep curiosity and nostalgia. Monetize through print sales of original photos, sponsored posts from photography brands, and selling location guide maps.
🚀 First Step
Research and photograph one abandoned location in your area, edit the best three shots, and post them with an engaging caption about the history.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Always research the legal status of locations and never trespass
- Include the history of each location in captions for deeper engagement
- Create and sell a digital zine of your best photographs each quarter
