Photography is an extremely fun and enjoyable hobby. Unfortunately, most photographers that live off of their hobby end up very poor. With the internet and the rise of certain websites, now anybody can earn money off their photos. This article will give you a step by step guide to sell pictures online.

The Basics:
On the internet, there are pictures everywhere. Website designs have photos, banners have photos, etc etc. These photos are usually obtained from stock photo agencies. With the internet, now anybody can use micro stock agencies and submit their photos on the internet. And their photos could be used on things from book covers to websites.

Micro stock agencies are free to sign up for. You are paid around twenty five cents per download your photo gets. This may seem very small but it isn't. Have a few hundred photos online getting downloaded a day and you could be pretty well off. The amount of work you put into this will reap the amount of awards you get.

The best stock agencies to submit your photos to are the most trafficked and highly visited. Shutter Stock is one such agency. It gets many visitors a day seeking photos for their art, magazines, websites, etc.

Now, when you take stock photos you really need to prepare for the most sells worthy shot possible. Artistic and complex shots are not what buyers usually want. If someone searches for "apple" they probably just want a shot of an apple with a white background behind it. They don't want some shot with an apple sitting on a swing in front of an old 1800's style house.
