• Will your friends and family agree to sign model release forms, if you decide to use them as models?

Here are a few more tips that can help you succeed:

1. Pick the right subject: if you want to start selling your photographs, then you will need to provide the buyers with something they can't grab themselves. This means that you just can't take a picture of your pet, kitchen or living room and expect people to pay money for it. The stock photo sites already contain thousands of these images.
   You can choose to take some seasonal photos when the time comes around, because they are always popular. To get more ideas about the best subjects, you look at the other pictures on the site and see what can help you earn the most money.
   
   


2. Always prepare the photograph, before uploading it: Make sure that the picture is in JPEG format with minimal compression and in its original resolution, so try not resize the image. The photo must not have any trade marks, like bottle labels or T-shirts with logo. And of course, if there are people that can be identified in the image, you must enclose a Model Release Form, which will prove that you have the consent of the person that is photographed.
