Well, stock photography. A good money maker, or a waste of time?? So far for me (about 2 months so far) it has been good, a good learning experience with the added benefit of making a little pocket money. When I decided to go ahead and upload my photos to sell as stock, I did some research looked at different sites, and decided to go ahead and upload to a few different sites: / Shutterstock / 123 Royalty Free / Can Stock Photo / Dreamstime / IStockPhoto / Fotolia / Big Stock Photo / I figured that the more sites i was signed up to, and that were displaying my images, then the more people would see them, and then hopefully buy them. Things started off fairly slow, with one or two sales per week for the first few weeks. Now however in the last 2 days i have had about 15 sales, which has just encouraged me to go out, take more photos, upload them and give people even more of my photos to download! The whole stock thing works great for me at the moment, as I am still a Photography student for another year, and this helps to fill in my spare time, and gets me out taking more pictures, something that i love doing. So really it can only be a good thing! The money is only trickling in at the moment, however it is at least trickling, and that for me is the exciting part. I believe that if i consistently add more photos to these sites, and increase my skill and expertise also, then this will end up being quite a substantial money earner for me. And hey, who doesn’t want to earn money from their hobby?? So far, just top give you an idea, a couple of my highest selling images are: / / Anyway, I know a few people are selling stock already, and i know of a few who are interested, so I wanted to keep you all up to date with what I’m doing!

Stock Photography - Shutterstock

Hi everyone, Thought i would write down some of my thoughts and experiences relating to individual Stock Photography sites that I am using. So I will start with my most profitable so far – Shutterstock Shutterstock was the hardest of the 9 sites that I have submitted to, to get my photos accepted. To begin submitting to Shutterstock you have to upload 10 photos, 7 of which they must approve to start submitting and selling your photos. This took me 2 attempts, with a forced 30 day waiting period between attempts. This did get quite annoying, and I did feel like giving up and just using the other sites that I got accepted to very easily. I now have about 40 photos accepted to the site, after almost a month, and have had over 150 sales in that time. Shutterstock has so far been the most profitable of the 9 sites that I am regularly submitting photos to. As far as use-ability goes, Shutterstock is one of the easiest sites to use, and also one of the quickest to review and approve new uploads. Some sites take upwards of 7 days from upload to approval, Shutterstock is on average 24-48 hours, sometimes less! Uploading is simple, I upload via FTP using a Stock Photography Workflow program called Pro Stock Master which basically catalogues and keeps track of my uploads for me. Over all, Shutterstock has been great for me so far, and IS earning me money. I am averaging about 4 downloads a day, and that is with a portfolio of less then 40 images! The money is not huge at the moment, majority of downloads earn me 25c with the occasional one worth more, but I figure its better then having my photos sitting on my hard drive earning me nothing, and it IS starting to add up. In my experience so far, Shutterstock is definitely the Stock site to join if you are wanting to earn some $$ with your photos, quick, easy and profitable. Just hang in there through the initial review process! Click on the link to join ” Shutterstock “ Let me know if you find this useful, and I will do the same with the other stock sites I use.

My Experience of Stock Photography ....
by Ryan CarterWell, its been a while since I wrote an update on my Stock Photography adventures. I started uploading to Microstock sites in December…
Well, its been a while since I wrote an update on my Stock Photography adventures. I started uploading to Microstock sites in December 2008, so its been about 8 months now, and overall it has been a quite positive experience. Sure, people say selling photos for such small prices is not worth it and only devalues yourself and the industry, however, I have found it to be quite profitable so far, especially as I am a student and can upload photos I take for school assignments and then sell them over and over again. I am signed up to 7 different sites: / Shutterstock / 123 Royalty Free / Can Stock Photo / Dreamstime / IStockPhoto / Fotolia / Big Stock Photo I choose to not go exclusive on any site, which then gave me the opportunity to upload the same photos to each site, which further expands the possible market size for my photos. Each site has different pay structures and commission amounts, check out the individual sites for the exact amounts, but so far the most profitable sites for me are: Shutterstock, IStockPhoto, Dreamstime and Fotolia. Each month on average I earn upwards of US$150 total across all sites, and all this with photos that I am taking for school assignments, or things that would just be sitting on my hard drive not doing anything, Well, thats about it for my latest update, I am still uploading a few photos a month and it seems to be growing, as all sites have seemed to earn more $$ the longer I have been there, new uploads or not. Its not enough to retire yet, but it is paying for some nice new equipment! If your interested in trying Stock Photography, I would encourage you to give it a go! Thanks for having a read ….... These are some of my best selling images: / /
