Can you get a hold on a digital camera and take shots?
Even if you are a complete amateur, you can still rake in
a steady $500 monthly, even more using this unknown
secret strategy I am going to reveal to you today. Not
just can you rake in that much, this will be one of the most
stress-free income you can pull from the Internet.

Just imagine. You go to your village and you see
chickens playing around.. you take the photo. You go
to the market place, stand at on top of a story building and
take a shot of the market scene. You see a river side
view and take a shot or maybe you go to a friend?s house
and you take a great shot of the cute little aquarium fish
in the sitting room. You then get back home, process the
picture a little, upload it to some selected sites I will show
you and by next week, you?ve made some cash from your
photo. Between you and I, I won?t say that was so
difficult or was it?

All you have to do is understand how this is done,
know exactly where to take your pictures to and you
are in business. Just start taking pictures and start earning
because as ?amateur? as you consider yourself, you are in
high demand (very high demand) across the world if you
can detect a wonderful scene and take a cute little photo.

Brace up because I am about to reveal to you a whole new
world of unexplored cash in the photography business
that I bet you?ve never heard preached before.

Taking photos is fun. What's more fun, is getting paid for
taking photos. Then you can spend more time doing what
you enjoy. First let me pass you a little secret. In photography,
just like any other field, a lot of the ?hot-shots? did not start off
as professional photographers. Infact, a lot of them started
out in fields far from photography!

Elliott Porter was a doctor, Ansel Adams was a pianist,
Galen Rowell was a mechanic, Bob Krist was an actor. If these
people can start from nowhere and sell their work, so can you.

The nice part about selling photography is that anyone can do it -- you are
not dependent upon physical ability, age, or background. It is more
about art and energy. The photography market is so open that
every photographer I've met to date is pleased to give ideas and suggestions.

Each time since the last 4months (that I have learnt and started
researching this secret), everyone I have spoken to about it have
all asked the same question: ?How Can I Sell My Photos? I am almost
certain that?s the one thing on your mind. Yes, I am going to tell you
all about it BUT first, let me cover some points that will make the
distinction between you wasting your time and you making
money from this venture.

Knowing What To Shoot & What To Publish

As you begin to take photographs, you will quickly learn
that you can easily make income from several areas in the
photography world. You can also decide to specialise. There
are people who specialise in taking only pictures of motorcycles,
or cars or trees for instance. As someone starting however and
I guess without much photography expertise or some ?fancy?
cameras, you might want to stick to the other and do a lot of areas.

The truth is: any area can turn into photo-cash for you.
However, I must warn that you need to know what is legal
to shoot. You can go to http://rcfp.org/photoguide/ ,
http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm, http://photography.about.com/od/legalissues to
learn about some of the legal issues

QUICK TIP: some photo types are more in high demand than
others and so going for such photos will fetch you more cash
and quicker. Examples are beautiful nature pictures (beaches,
trees, sunset etc), electronic stuff that could easily be used on
websites (earn quick bucks with these), business people (men
and woman), money, business related photos (pile of newspapers,
calculators..) etc.

As regards what to publish. There are things like photos that
reveal private facts about someone, images that include
copyrighted logos or trademarks within them, photos that
appear to indicate a libelous and unsubstantiated appearance
such as a preacher in front of a sign for a porn movie, thus
implying he was going to see it etc

That covered, there are 3 basic ways to make money
from your photos. The first is to sell them. I?ll call this stock photos.
The second is to create products out of your photos. For instance,
the creation of an animal book for children containing photos of animals
with short descriptions or to create cards using your pictures and the
third is to render services which is the very popular one we see around
where you lend your skill to people who need to carve a memory
of their events on paper.

My goal here is to show you how to sell your photos over
the web (stock photos). So, what are stock photos?

I?ll describe stock photos as pictures you have already taken.
It is in your pile of photos and is ready for use. I mean if I
tell you how, you could just take them out now and sell for
cash. Simple!

You see, publishers love to use stock photos because
it is easier. It takes a lot of time and money to hire a
photographer and get him or her to take the needed shots.
It is by far better to use cute, ready made pictures and you will
agree with me this is most correct. Each time I have had to design
a website or to do header graphics for my sites or create my
stunning ebook covers, I have always turned to stock photos
because they are plain easy.

All you have to do is to go out and take your photos.
Some of your photos will need processing. If you are
experienced with handling of graphics, you can easily do this
yourself using photo editing softwares like photoshop or you can
just hire someone to do them for you cheap.


Where Can I Sell My Photos Online & How

The best way to sell your photos is by offering your
stock photos for sale by putting them on the Web. You hope
that the client comes to you by displaying your photos online
and waiting for sales. Its simple. You get all your photos as
you take them, upload them to a website and name them
appropriately with proper keywords and then wait for someone
to come over and purchase them.

You can do this in two ways. First you can get your own
website and second you can go over to photo agencies.

Photo agencies combine the stock photos of many
photographers, hundreds of thousands of them, create a large
exposure and draw thousands of visitors who come to buy those
photos. Based on these reasons, going to these sites
might be your best bet.

Here is a list of some of the photo agencies you can go
to and register an account for free, upload your pictures
and start earning an income.

NOTE: while going to register on these sites, be prepared
with a scanned copy of identification. Some of the sites
will accept your national ID or driver license. Others will
settle for nothing else but your international passport so be ready.

Additional Tips:

People who will come to search for photos at these sites
will search using the search engines. So try and name your
pictures in such a way as to fit description criteria that people
will be searching for. For instance if you have the
picture of a businessman, don?t name your picture Johnny
because if you do, it would most probably never get downloaded
because people won?t search for ?Johnny?. What they will be
looking for is businessman, so it better you label your picture
as businessman.

Also, take advantage of mis-spelling to make more money from
your pictures. You see a lot of people will mis-spell the search word.
For instance someone might spell businessman as busneesman.
Now, because of that mis-spelling, the search engine will give your
own picture precedence over others if t was spelled that way,
meaning more exposure, more downloads and ultimately more cash.

So, what are you waiting for? You?ve got a camera, you can
take the nice shots and you know where to sell your photos. Go and
shoot for $500 to $2000 monthly doing what you love!
