Besides real state what are some other ways to make money flying a drone? How hard is it to actually make a decent amount per year from your drone?
Ways to monetize

Appraisals, aerial surveying, etc. How hard it is to make money? As hard as making any other money. You need to invest the time, effort, and expenses.
It depends on YOUR skills, YOUR salemanship, and YOUR drive to earn $$. See the common factor?
The drone is just a tool you use. How you use it and how you can sell your skills will determine how profitable (or not) you are.

Attach a line to the bottom of drone with large paperclip. Fly to the nearest bank with a bright orange note attached to the clip. Dangle note in front of door - return home with money.
"This drone has a BOMB on board - attach money or we blow the bank!"
That should serve to get a little action going.
If you still have access to a email, let us know how it went.

HARD
Getting noticed is the hard part, same as with a normal camera, musical instrument of football.
Even being exceptionally good at something doesn't necessarily get you anywhere but being noticed dose.
These days a website with examples of your aerial photographs / video’s for different scenarios would probably be the way to go.
Catchy Logo & business name, exceptional example footage and advertising a necessity.
Getting established is the hard part as you have to get people to want to contact you for your services.
If you have any hotels or churches in your area it would probably be worth asking if they wanted any FREE photographs to display (obviously with aerial photography by insert name displayed on the print or frame).

It is like regular photography and video. There are 100 really good photographers/video shooters for every opportunity. You need to have a convincing answer for the question “Why should they pick you?”. With that, go out and market and sell.
PS Don’t spend the proceeds in advance.

It’s all about networking and the relationships you build. I have been in creative field for 15 years and my clients are marketing firms. They are happy to have my additional aerial capabilities. Start off taking videos and photos of points of interest in your area. Learn how to post produce them. Create a site with all of these points of interest and let every pr and marketing firm no the address to the site. Let them know they can buy the stock footage.
