Earn Money By Selling Your Photos Online And Earn Upto $100 Per Image or More.
Do you bring your camera everywhere you go, even for grocery and snap perfect shot after prefect shot?
Cash in on your photo addiction by selling your photos on these websites. Each one of them has a different payment system, but they offer a great way to turn photo’s rotting on your hard drive into some extra bucks, without any extra effort once you’ve edited and uploaded them.
3 Sites Where You Can Sell Your Photos Online
Here are three sites where you can make money with your photos.
Five million photographers list their stock images with 500px, according to the site. You’ll receive 70% net for every photo sold (standard licenses are $250), and your images might appear in big-names ad campaigns if you submit them for commercial licensing.
Sign up for free. Then submit your photos, complete the required photos and start earning $$$.
You’ll also have the option of selecting an exclusive or non-exclusive license for the images. You’ll earn more for an exclusive license, but that means you can’t license or sell the photo to anyone else.
2. Shutterstock
Earn up to $120 per image download on Shutterstock. This site has a fairly complicated structure, but the more you earn (“lifetime earnings”), the more you take home for each image.
Contributors have earned a total of more than $300 million from over 500 million downloads, so people definitely snap up these images. Shutterstock also sells stock video footage with both HD ans 4K videos, as well as images and vectors.
By referring other photographers you can also make a small profit, typically around 4 cents, each time they sell an image.
3. iStockphoto
iStock has been selling stock images since 2001. Since it’s been around for a while, it has an extensive network of contributors and thoroughly vets new applicants to make sure they’re a good fit.
Applying is free, just select the most appropriate category (photos, illustration, video or audio) and fill out an application. The iStockphoto will review your qualifications and you’ll have to take a short quiz to assess them. And the final step is to upload a few samples of your work to make sure it’s top-notch.
Once iStock accepted you, you’ll receive a minimum of 15% of any sales. And if you have a “Exclusive” status, your earning can increase to 45%.
