The idea that you can sell your images digitally multiple times in itself is a revolutionary side hustle, or so I thought at the time.

I first came across the stock photography side hustles through a video published on Youtube by Nicole Glass, a photographer who has been successfully selling her images since 2017.

Although she made only 0.25c in her first month, she did not give up until she was making 3 figures monthly on the site only a year later.

She has a series of videos talking about everything that you need to know regarding selecting, uploading, and marketing your images and videos to make consistent passive income.

Takeaway:

  • Whatever side hustle you want to pursue if you do not have the budget to hire a coach, find free inspiration from youtube, where successful people can serve as your ‘mentors’ without the extra expense.
  • Comment on their videos and ask questions. Lots of YouTubers are lovely and will respond to you and give you advice.
