Do a search through some of my earlier posts regarding photography and you should find a wealth of information on sites to visit.
As for this thread, it's a scam. What they're trying to "sell" is an opening into a stock photography market. Most (if not all) of the reputable stock photography websites... backtrack... stock photography is pictures of generic things such as houses, carrots, smiling couples, etc. A photographer I've done some work for in the past has made a small fortune simply off of one stock photo he took in his studio of a small shopping cart loaded with groceries. Apparently the European grocery market found it and started using it to an extreme degree. Then again, he has a $46k camera and a full studio setup, but the end result is that in order to make a lot of money as a stock photographer, you have to have the right equipment and invest more time into it than most people have free. After all, what's so different about the stock photos you're taking than the stock photos taken by Joe Blow in New York?
Sure, photography is fun. I still think I'm lucky making ~$50/hr taking pictures of all sorts of things, from events to portraits, especially as I'm still in school for another 9 months and would rather take pictures than find a 'real' job. I've done it for years, and I'll probably keep doing it for even longer. However, short of the guy I was talking about earlier, I've not seen anybody make anywhere near $250/hr working from home. What they'll do is have you pay your money, get generic information you could find for yourself on google, and laugh all the way to the bank.
