Has it ever occurred to you that you would like to sell your photographs to some of the stock agencies online? Have you visited websites only to be disappointed by the high cost of the equipment needed to produce the goods? Many of the large agencies require large file sizes which require professional equipment which cost thousands.
Let me let you in on a secret. There are many small stock agencies that trend to a different market altogether. The large image files required by large agencies are what are needed by advertising or marketing companies. But what about the smaller companies and the rest of the world?
There are many small companies that cannot afford the prices offered by the large agencies. There is also the self employed and the small business man that need a few pictures for their website or marketing campaign. Some colleges that are on a limited budget still need good pics for their workshop or for tuition. This is where you and your digital camera come into play.
With a 3 mega pixel or higher digital camera you could supply the agencies I am talking about with the images they are looking for.
You try to keep the prices of the images low for the consumer, but they are perfect for the types of institutions I have just described. The payout is less for the photographer but you get a lot more sales and you will earn a nice residual income as long as your images are online.
Many of your photos can be sold over and over again if you have a good subject and they are of good quality. Many types of photos are needed in many different fields. If you have a large quantity of photos your chances of making more sales are increased.
Photo topics include sporting activities, children, hobbies, transportation and many many more. If you have images stored on your hard drive or just need a reason to get out into the world and do something constructive, give it a whirl.
This will require some work but it allows you to get out into the world and really have some fun taking pictures, not to mention how much money you can make.
