make money selling stock photos online


Do people say you take beautiful pictures and should put them on a magazine or a brochure? Do you like to take pictures and just put them in your hard drive? With the fast growing online photo agencies, you can make money by selling your photos to online stock photo sites.

Every time someone downloads your images, you get a small commission.The more people download, the more you make. They handle all the transactions for you, all you have to do is setup an account, upload the photos and wait for the people to buy and collect the money.

That was the easy part, it is not as simple as I just described. You need the right equipments, high resolution is a must. You will also need a nice camera lens and other accessories. The quality of your images must be to a high standard, well balanced and sharp or they simply won't sell.

Sites will review your photos and then decide whether the images will be accepted. They don't take all the photos you submit to them.
