I suspect surprisingly few even of the top professionals can make a good living directly from their photography. A fair few appear to find holding photography workshops and suchlike a way of keeping the wolf from the door, and the most enterprising of them have developed sizeable businesses. But there is probably a long tail of photographers offering tuition who don't have the profile or organisational skills or whatever else it takes to get their enterprises off the ground.
