Sell Your Photos Online

Want to turn your digital camera into a fun and rewarding hobby that can put some extra cash in your pocket? Sell your photos!

Making money by submitting and selling your photos online is easy once you know how to get started...

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Access to the Internet.
  • Your Digital Camera and it's software.
  1. Step 1

    Discover why! Taking photos with your digital camera is a great and FREE way to earn some ongoing residual income because you get to earn cash over and over each time someone downloads one of your photos or images.

  2. Step 2

    Don't sweat it! You don't have to be a professional photographer --- not even close! If you're able to take half-way decent photos, you can do this! I know first-hand that anyone, with a little practice, can make some extra money with their digital camera. And since you'll simply be uploading all of your photos from your digital camera to the Internet, you don't need any fancy printers or photography equipment.

  3. Step 3

    There are many sites that will pay you for your photos. Go to the "RESOURCES" section below and browse through the companies and web sites that will pay you for your photos.

  4. Step 4

    Sign up and register for accounts with at least 2 or more of the above sites/companies. This way you'll be able to compare site and earning results. Don't be afraid to register with several sites - you'll increase your earning potential by gaining greater exposure.

  5. Step 5

    Take the time to seek out and read the invaluable tutorials, instructions and tips that are provided on the sites you've registered with. Although these sites are similar, each has their own specific rules and guidelines for accepted photos, etc...

  6. Step 6

    Aim, shoot, upload your photos and get paid to submit your photos online! Good luck!

Tips & Warnings
  • If you design web graphics, illustrations, etc..., many of these companies will pay you for these as well.
