Turn your photos and videos into cash "Stock photos appear on the Internet and in print publications. Publishers license the photos for a specific use. They use stock photos instead of hiring a photographer. Before you start seeing dollar signs, there are some considerations. Your photos must be impeccable. The composition, lighting and technical quality must be outstanding. The photos should be high resolution and free of noise. You can photograph any subject, but some subjects are in higher demand. For example, travel photos and photos of people sell well. You can list your photos on sites like iStockphoto, Dreamstime and BigStockPhoto. They'll take a cut of sales." |
