opportunity that it was years back when the use of the Internet was still limited to a
lucky few. Nowadays, people like you have found a good way in making money with photography

1. Selling your photos at stock photography websites is one way for you to earn money

purposes. Many magazines, publishers, ad agencies, artists, and designers go to these
websites to get the photos that they need instead of hiring a photographer, which entail
more costs.
As the photographer, the photos you shoot exclusively become your stock and are
copyrighted to you. This just means that if a particular person is interested in a
photograph, he will have to pay you for it and since you hold the copyright to your
photos. The big advantage, and asset here is, you can sell them over and over again,
reaping for yourself more profits each time you do so.
2. Another way to earn money from your photos is by selling them through your very own
website. Before you complain about all the technicalities of putting up a website, think
of the advantages it can bring you. First, having a website will definitely establish you
as a photographer. Plus, you can sell directly to your clients without having another
entity to get a cut from your sales. And it won't really cost you much to have a company
host and maintain your website. In fact, you are looking at about $10 a month for hosting.
3. The third way in getting income from your photographs is through photo-sharing
sites. Marketing your photos in these sites will get you the attention that you need to
make money with your photographs since many people visit these sites frequently. And
though you really can't sell your photos through these sites, you can subtly imply to the
users that licenses to your photos are for sale so they can further contact you.
These are just some of the ways to making money with photography online. If you take
any of these steps to create a flourishing online business for something that you love
doing, surely you will get the profits that are right for your talents. And it won't even
feel like work because it is something you enjoy in the first place.
