Everyone with a camera thinks the same.
Everyone with sufficient disposable income to buy a half-decent digital camera can produce reasonably-sharp and colourful images. Every one of those individuals think that their photographs are simply wonderful. Human nature to do so.
If photography is REALLY what you do best, then off you go and see whether any paying customers agree with you.
I look at hundreds of photographs a day, every day, submitted by people with no talent whatsoever and, conversely, by those who inspire me. 'Landscapes, flowers, pets and some people' are by far THE most common submissions, with very boring and non-creative sunsets right up there. Thus, you are just one in a million, a drop in the ocean. The competition is enormous.
Put your talent where it can be proven - in the market place.
www.redbubble,com is one such area on the 'net. Try that but make sure that you have another career path just in case?

I shoot sports, I use a camera not a computer. Maybe you should be a photo retoucher. Photographers that make money shoot pictures with cameras and do it well. Poor photographers try to do photography in the computer and they remain poor photographers.

Your question is much the same as the other 1 billion people without photographic training and think a computer takes pictures. Just set up a website and become rich, you need great camera and lighting skills first, get some.

Without seeing your work and knowing what level you are, it is very difficult to make suggestions.

Continue to shoot because you love it, seek knowledge to improve it and try to find like minded people. I always suggest a good camera club with competitions. Being around others with the same goal will give you ideas in what direction to head.

You and 600,000,000 other people. Good luck.

Open your own personal online gallery, auction ultra high quality colorfast photos, and be very creative. Make unique images.

I mention the online auction because it draws customers, you may not sell any, but it is a good way to make your online gallery known.

Again, sell excellent quality prints. If you sell inkjet prints from your computer that fade in a month you WILL lose your reputation.
