Make Money Online Selling Stock Photos

Make money online selling photos. Yes, now just click photos for money. Making money selling photos is a cake walk as long as you have a digital camera and know the basics of clicking photos (which you all know). It seems like almost everywhere you look these days someone has a digital camera and is taking pictures non stop. If you’re one of those photo bugs who never gets enough of taking pictures then a good way to turn your passion into profits is by becoming a stock photographer.

Stock photos are pictures that you allow a company to use for a commission. You may receive a flat fee per photo that is accepted or a commission on each download of your photo.
Stock photography companies offer paid memberships to customers in the graphics or photography industry. Their membership fee allows them a certain number of credits that they may use to purchase the photos that they need for a particular project.

There are lots of stock photo companies around today such as:

iStockPhoto.com
BigStockPhoto.com
FotoSearch.com
SnapVillage.com
123rf.com

You can take a look at each to determine which you prefer. One major feature that I like about Shutterstock above the others is that they have a forum where designers request the specific photos that they want. Other sites have forums but none that I’ve seen make it so easy to know exactly what will sell. When you know just what the designers are looking for you’ll what photos to submit and get paid a lot more money.
