If you like photography or even if you don’t, you may have images on your hard drive or on your camera, which can earn you a lot of money. You may already have images worth anywhere from $100 to $3000. For this reason, you should start selling your photos today. With this article I am going to explain how you can make money selling your photos online.
Stock photography is simply a way to sell your images to the masses. All you have to do is upload your photo to a stock agency and every time someone views or downloads your images, you earn a commission. You may be thinking that you have to be a professional photographer, but you are not. No doubt expensive equipment such as DSLR cameras, studio lighting and backgrounds will help, however a simple point and shoot compact camera is enough to get the job done.
You’d be surprised how many people are looking to buy your images right now. You would also be surprised at the type of images they sell. When I started I thought I had to be really unique and creative, but then I quickly discovered that my best selling images were images of everyday items like fruit, money, a lamp, broken bottles, jewelry, a bar of soap, and even a wooden spoon. . The range of people looking to buy your images is from magazine publishers, newspapers to online websites and because of this you can take an image of just about anything and chances are someone is interested in buying it.
Stock agencies like Istockphoto, Shutter Stock, and Getty offer a service where you upload your images and every time someone downloads them, you get commission.
