Make Money Selling Photos Online - The Startling Truth

Chances are even if you don't recognise the term you will have come across stock photography in your everyday life.
It's literally everywhere.
Business presentations, leaflets, catalogues even some TV ads.
It's in magazines, advertising and it's everywhere online! Stock photographs are photos of common everyday places, landmarks, events or people that can be used for commercial purposes.
You know, the pictures of a team in a business meeting discussing something important, or someone using a laptop or cellphone.
They are all standard stock images.
Traditionally these stock images were available through large printed catalogues and distributed on CD.
These days they're all online! Instead of hiring a professional photographer to create a new image, a very costly process, a designer can login to a stock web site and purchase a license to use an existing image that fits the bill and download it directly.
Designers usually pay a subscription to access the site or a per image fee.
The photographer get paid a commission whenever their picture is downloaded.
So how can you make money from this? Can you really make money selling photos? It used to be very hard to get published in the stock photo catalogues and the number of photographers who could get their work published was very limited.
These days with the explosive growth of the internet and web design there are literally hundreds of thousands of designers, art directors, graphic artists, advertising and marketing professionals from all around the world looking for images 24x7! All you need is to get your image in front of them in the right places and you can sit back and watch the money roll in.
