Turn Your Photography Into a Cash Machine

Selling photos online has never been easier. With the creation of micro stock photography sites such as Dreamstime  , the ability for individual photographers to market and sell their work is unlimited. Online since 2000 as a Royalty-Free stock photography website, Dreamstime ranks third in stock photography audience with over 2,000,000 images online and over 4 million unique monthly visitors.

Personally, I have been a user of this site for over 4 years. Even though I am a photographer, I love the affordable royalty-free images. When tasked to create a presentation or promotional material with a tight deadline, it is much more affordable and quicker to select an image from the Dreamstime’s vast library versus doing my own photoshoot. No model fees, studio rental costs, just a few dollars per image.

For photographers considering working for a micro stock photography, the income per image is not extremely high. However, you have the benefit of affordable pricing and tremendous traffic that work in your favor. Each time an image is downloaded, you receive a royalty payment. The great thing about this arrangement is your royalty payments increase based on the popularity of your image. Check out Sell Your Images 0 for complete payment schedule!

If you are interested starting a career in stock photography, or just looking for some extra income, I would highly recommend a great book by Michal Heron titled, “How to Shoot Stock Photos that Sell”. It’s a very affordable book, jammed full of tips to get you headed in the right direction.
