Earn Money from Photos

Submit your photos and get paid every time one of your photos is downloaded. Put your camera to good use and make money today!

Things to Remember:

Image Quality: Quality is vital, noisy grainy photos from low-end digital cameras will have limited use. If you want to sell the largest market (both web and print) then you will need good quality, well-lit, sharp, high-resolution images.

Sell yourself with a portfolio: A portfolio is a collection of some of your best work; many people these days have their portfolio online. You could create your own website or pay and upload images to one of several companies who specialise in hosting photographers' portfolios (some also sell the images for you). Your portfolio should include a personal and creative statement along with detailing how your images can be bought, the equipment you use, and what you specialise in shooting (your favourite subjects). The selection of images your choose should be specially picked to display not just aesthetics but also technical merits.

Pricing your Photos : Be realistic about the price you are aiming at, most everyone has a digital camera these days and if it only took you 10 seconds to snap an image of a computer mouse and keyboard then why would someone pay a fortune for such an image instead of snapping one themselves ?

I am so pleased that you wrote this hub. I had no idea that you could make money selling your photos online. I am an amatuer photographer and have been wondering about things like this. Thanks!

Good Hub! I've not yet tried to sell any photos yet, but intend to try in the near future. You have lots of good pointers! I understand that two other good sites are Fotolia and Dreamstime. I saw these mentioned in shailini's hub "Make Money with your Digital Camera" Again, good hub!
