I have another question. Do you have to be part 107 certified to make money from work you do on a paramotor? Like if you go take photos or video, can you sell them without being part 107 certified?

Paramotoring, or Powered Paragliding, is an amazing sport — the cheapest way to fly! The gear is also very compact and there's no licensing in the United States (although training is strongly recommended).
There's a nice brochure here with some of the more frequently asked questions. But also please feel free to ask below and I (or someone else) will try to answer! :)
Note: I realize this is a niche community, so feel free to ask even if this post is old!
It’s a grey area. You can’t get paid to fly or do specific things (like take pics of someone’s property), but you could get a free wing for a sponsorship. Or you could sell the pics you take from the air of beautiful scenery, as long as they were taken recreationally and not for a specific customer. Or you could make money from YouTube videos of flying recreationally. Part 103 has some clarifying materials on the specifics :)
