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.

Shutterstock is worth the effort
by loganhilleSHUTTERSTOCK is possibly one of the most lucrative microstock agencies for photographers. ...
SHUTTERSTOCK is possibly one of the most lucrative microstock agencies for photographers. While their rate of payment is low, the sales you make well and truly make up the difference. Initially, you would be paid 25 cents per image until you reach $500 in sales, and after that your rate rises again. Rumours abound they are about to give photographers another pay rise. There are a few issues with dealing with Shutterstock. BAD: Takes most people 5 – 7 attempts to be accepted as a Shutterstock photographer. They are picky on any noise showing in the image. GOOD: Super fast approvals, generally within 24 hours. Great sales volume. A tip for once you join. Keep submitting small numbers of photos. Buyers seem to scroll through the newest images and that is how they buy. IF you take a break for a while your sales will plummet.
