Have you ever created content or a website that needed some stock images? You can make money online by selling your own stock photos, vector images, and video clips. There are websites online with which you can apply to become a contributor to their site. Once approved, you will receive royalties each time someone downloads one of your stock images or videos. Each website has their own guidelines as far as what is required for approval. Once your application is complete and you've submitted your files, sit back and wait for the email that tells you your stock selling fate.
A few sites to try:
Recommendations for Approval
- I know this goes without saying, but SUBMIT YOUR OWN WORK. there are legal consequences to submitting someone else's work and it's not worth the trouble or penalties.
- Do not submit images similar to another already included. Submitting the same image with only slight differences may be rejected.
- Be sure to have ample lighting. The photos or videos must appear professionally shot, not like an android phone camera.
- Check the FAQs for any website you consider applying with to ensure you meet their specific requirements for submission.
I would also recommend marketing either through your own website or social media. This can potentially land you clients for photography sessions as well as direct traffic to those needing stock images and videos. Some of these stock photo sites offer referral programs where you can refer someone else to sell their stock photos. Get the cameras out!
Be blessed.
