| Just some of the types of stock photos for sale online. |
There are so many kids in high school and college who pick up photography as a hobby, but few know that their hobby can actually become a lucrative way to make money. In this post I will give you a quick guide on how to make money by using stock photography websites.
What are stock photos?
Students can use Google to find images when they need pictures for a report, but because of copy write laws, businesses must buy their photos (these are stock photos). Stock photos are used by companies, artists, agencies, and corporations whenever they need an image for something.
What are stock photography websites?
Stock photography websites serve as marketplaces for people to buy and sell stock photos online. These sites take images from individual contributors, and the photographers get a commission for each image sold.
How do I make money from these websites?
To make money, simply make accounts and post your photos on these websites. Your photos can be of literally anything, so pull up your pictures from your high school photography class and let the money roll in. Many websites do not sell the exclusive rights to your photos either, meaning that you can list your photos on multiple sites to increase your earnings.
Here is a list of 33 stock photography websites you can post your photos on. Good luck, and with enough stock photos for sale in enough places, you could be making a significant amount of extra money.
