Get some experience and take classes before you want to start a career. By just putting your camera on auto to increase your changes of capturing a decent photo, doesn't mean you know anything about photography. What I mean is learning the basics of photography before taking pictures for money.

Just over a month ago you just got your camera and were asking questions like this. I think it's fair to assume you don't know everything about your camera, and probably know next to nothing about the advanced skill and equipment that required to take paying customers.

Do what Jim said.

Do more work. Much more work.
