Selling Stock Photos
Selling photos to stock photo agencies is an excellent way to earn some extra cash. However, the process at times can be difficult and if you are not careful your photos may be rejected or buried within the stock photo agency system.
How can you have the best success selling stock photos online? There are a few crucial steps you can take to assure that your photos are accepted and then sell when using a stock photo agency to market your photographs.
- Follow the submission process carefully and do not overburden the system. Most stock photo agencies individually review each photo submitted, and if you submit dozens (or even hundreds) of photographs at once they are much more likely to reject individual photos. Start slow, by submitting only a few photos each day until you develop a reputation with the agency.
- Submit quality photographs with a high resolution. Aim for 5 megapixels or higher, since the higher the resolution, the more uses and the more sales you can get from a photograph. Also, do not rely on photo editing software to fix your photos, since editing does reduce the overall quality of the photograph (although occasional editing should be alright).
- Use keywords to help users find your photographs. This step is essential, since if no one can find your photos using the terms they are searching for, you will find it hard to make sales. Spend time doing some keyword research for each of your photos, and make sure you tag each photograph appropriately.
