Photography has come a long way from the old film camera days. Instant film photography gave us a taste of capturing the moment and within seconds the film would literally develop before our eyes. And now, digital cameras allow us to capture moments and review them faster than ever. We can also delete the pictures we don't like, edit them on our computers and print the ones we like without wasting paper. In the old days we had to take the good pictures with the bad. If you accidentally took a picture of your shoe you were stuck with paying for it. Not anymore. Now you just delete it right on the camera.
Digital photography is making it easier than ever to sell your pictures with the help of the internet. Uploading to the internet to various websites, including your own, can be a profitable venture with just a basic digital camera.
So where can you sell your photos?
- Create your own Photo Gallery. This is one of the easiest to set up. You may have to learn a little bit of web design though or you may find a free web gallery template online to help you get started. You can sell your photos outright or sell them many times in different file sizes. Webmasters are always looking for photos for their web sites. It saves them time if they find exactly what they need on your web site.
- Stock Photos Online - These are places on the internet that allow you to upload your photos to a gallery where they compete with other photographers. This is by far the best way you can figure out what sells and what doesn't. Unlike a personal web site gallery where it is best to stick with one category or niche, you can upload many different kinds of photos across different categories. Most stock photo galleries will sell your photos over and over and will update their stats to show how popular each photo is, giving you a better understanding of your market.
