>PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Theoretically, if you wanted to earn an income doing product photography who would you first target/market your services to to quickly bring in an income?
I do not mean who you would WANT to work for, but clients you could potentially contact to get income through the door ASAP?

I would guess you can't work for yourself. You either need to work for someone's in-house product photography business or someone who already has a lot of large clients. Large companies with the budget to hire a product photographer would only hire independent or smaller photographers for non-traditional small advertising campaigns. Smaller companies use someone in the company with a camera or stock photography.
The future of product photography is computer generated images. Most of the major product shots you see today is all computerized. No cameras involved.
Your only option is to go into computer generated images, stock photography, or social networking. I don't know if people with large social media fallowing get actual money or just free stuff but it's a huge market.
Advertising companies are hiring your followers not you.
I guarantee you that you have someone near you selling home made knit hats, or potpourri, or some kind of snake oil health food like Plexus or Nutridiet or some shit.
Reach out to them and photo their bullshit. You might only be able to make $5 an item, tops, but it will be an income from product photography.
If you want to comfortably live off of product photography, you needed to start about 40 years ago, and have a large production house with big name clients by now.
It would also help to be near a major company's headquarters, which are either in New York, or Silicon Valley.
