Stock photography for photographers
If you like to take pictures, why not try to earn money with it? After all, photography equipment is expensive and there is always something new to buy.
Stock photography may be the option you are looking for. Stock photography is
|
Suited for amateurs as well as professionals |
|
Easy to start with: you don't need impressive gear or professional payment options. |
The current stock photography market is divided in two big camps, each with their own business model:
|
Low volume, high payout per download. This is the professional stock market. Steer away from this market if you are not 100% dedicated to take high-quality stock-oriented pictures. These are the big names like Alamy or Corbis. |
|
High volume, low payout per download. In this market, amateur photographers can make a lot of money if they know how to take, choose, and prepare pictures. |
No need to choose a stock program
Why not choose a stock program? Frankly, because you don't need to. You can start with any program, then join other stock agencies with the same stock. Just don't join a stock program that demands exclusivity.
A good starter program is ShutterStock, because it is fairly easy to join and they provide you with good feedback if any of your pictures is rejected. A second reason to choose ShutterStock to start with, are the payment options. Earnings as low as $75 can be transferred via PayPal directly to your bank account.
Submit Photos to Shutterstock and make $$$!Knowing "how to"
Like with all things in life, knowing "how to" before you start is very valuable. You can start from pool position if you read the following booklet with care.

Anyone wanting to bring their message across will find images to be invaluable.
Stock agencies, while not a new phenomenon, can meet the wishes of marketeers, graphical designers, product managers and others by offering a wide range of photos which can easily be searched with keywords.

A few examples (tip: use the search buttons to get real search results):
Medical stock photos
Fort Worth stock pictures
Business people stock images
People stock photos
Sports stock
Wildlife pictures
Or you can change the search term into any keyword you want.
