Back in the day if you wanted to pursue your passion of photography and get paid for it you had to open up an expensive studio and just put out an ad in the paper for your services. This method works but not as good as using the Internet. People are spending money daily for stock photo rights. Why aren't you putting your work up for sale? Do you know how the process works? If not here is how you to can make money buy selling photo rights. Choose a photo agency - The top photo agencies out right now are Shutterstock, Fotolia and Dreamtime but there are tons of them just Google search and you'll be supplied with a lot of options. Also be aware that every photo agency offers different compensation rates for each photo sold. Take good photos - Do Not and I repeat Do Not post pictures that have a lot of noise or are touristy type photos. The quality of the image has to be good if you want to make any money. You also have to take photos that are commecially attractive. Don't put any logos or watermarks for other companies on the photo. If you use a model make sure they sign releases because you are publishing them on the Internet. Relavent keywords - When your listing your pictures you get to list them in many categories and you get to use keywords in describing them. Make sure you use the right keywords for the picture. Upload and relax - After you have your stuff organized and images selected just upload and relax. About the Author:
