in this New York Times article which discusses the rapidly evolving microstock
industry in detail.
Highlights include the impact of microstocks in the

Microstock photography represents a new business model
Stock photos are showing up on Web sites and blogs, and small
businesses with limited advertising budgets are suddenly interested.
Tim Donahue, founder and CEO of BigStockPhoto.com, is quoted in the Seattle Times article and indicates the microstock market is nowhere close to saturation.
"I don't think that we're even near 50 percent of the market yet," he said. "I don't think everybody knows that this is an alternative." |

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."

It could also be paying your rent and giving you a vluable tax write-off. The digital camera boom has not aonly allowed budding photographers to chronicle their pets, families and vacations but has also allowed these same hobbyists to go into business as stock photographers."
"Designers can now download 25 or 30 full-sized phtoos fro about the same price as one of the least expensive traditional stock agency photos. This means additional exposure for for photographers, as photos are viewed and downloaded far more frequently." |
