Make money online (internet) selling photos

What a wonderful world the Internet has evolved into. Among all the scams and spams there are still numerous ways one with creative skills and positivity can make money as long as you can stamp your uniqueness into it. Last time I talked about how to make money by taking surveys on legitimate sites. Today, let us look at how to turn your creative photography skills into the most valuable piece of paper in the world..currency or money!

There are numerous sites online (Internet) where you can put your photos for sale and earn a royalty (money) every time it is downloaded by a client. istock photography is the most prominent in this field and they are the icons in this area. As far as my understanding goes they pay you 20% to 40% royalty fees. One thing to be noted is that some photos can be downloaded by more than one client. This means that one good photo could earn you royalties from multiple clients.

Let us take a look at some of the sites which you can cash on:

www.istockphoto.com : As mentioned they are the leaders in this area. They pay you a royalty on every photo of yours downloaded by their client/clients. As some photos can be downloaded by multiple clients, it means that you could earn multiple royalties for one photo depending on its quality. They pay 20% as royalty for normal pictures and for pictures they consider as exclusive (based on the quality and uniqueness) they pay 40%. istock now has provisions for uploading not just photos but you can upload audios and videos as well. Just browse through the audio and video area of the site and it will give you an idea about what is hot and thus create your own files taking a cue from that.
