Hi guys welcome back to another Money related blog. we talk all about things money on Monday and today I have a special blog for you, guys me around here hello my name is Naeem and today I had a little bit too much sugar and I'm a little you need to get some energy out so please bear with me hopefully.
I'm not really obnoxious, but it might be the a little hard okay. so I have a friend makes a really good part-time income by selling her photos online she it's a professional photographer so she doesn't do this as her career. but if you're interested in getting into this I'm gonna list ten of the highest paying websites that she uses to make more than a thousand dollars a month on these online platform.
if you're already a photographer then I think this article is right up your alley okay. let's go before we get into the ten website let's just go over to some basic tips and tricks in general to make the most amount of money that you can selling you your photography on stock photography websites.
so just before we start I do not want to over hype any of this most people are not going to make a full-time income like she does what. it's pretty in the part-time income because $1000 is the pretty part time. but she doesn't make it passively but I don't want to over hype any of this because she took years and years to get to where she is and she has over 20,000 photos online also.
if you're already a professional photographer you can just skip this part because this is gonna be for the noobs in the house like myself my first tip is not only. high quality photos are going to be the accepted any low resolution photos that are blurry are not going to be the accepted and don't even waste in your time.
my second tip is obviously if you're gonna have high quality photos you need high quality gear so a professional camera sometimes you can get away with an iPhone X because they have a really good camera on the it.
but most cameras on the your phone aren't going to be the high quality enough. but however I don't recommend just buy the camera to the sell your photos online. but if you are already have a camera lying around and you kind of want to the play around with it and learn some things and make money maybe on the way then this could be the a good option.
my third tip is you might need release forms if you're gonna photograph models and buildings you need to have their permission obviously if you're gonna put their face online and make money off the photos also are not going to the get accepted. if they have to brands in the background names or the license plates for the example.
if you're taking a picture of a city background which is so it's pretty well but there's an Nike sign in the background or an apple sign they are not going to accept it.
my fourth tip is honestly if you don't I'm posting thousands of pictures don't expect to make that much money because there are millions of photos that are uploaded every single day.
my fifth tip and last one is before you spend your money that just made on your photographs make sure you take out a little bit for tax because these is a form of income you will have to think about taxes.
so if you're interested in learning more about how to be successful selling them photographs online let me know in the comments below and we can make a part 2 but this article is just gonna be into the highest main website.
okay let's get started okay one more thing sorry what avery important tip my photographer told me is that if you want to make a lot of money. you have to the capture with intention for the example photographs that sell really well be including food, health, beauty, fitness money in the business etc.
I could go on these photos sell really really well so you should stick into these categories. if you want to sell a lot of photos so the first website is pond 5 is reported to have the world's largest collection of stock footage hosting more than a ten point five million clips as early as 2019 they give you 50% of this sale.
which is actually quite high compared to a lot of the other websites we're going to talk about and they focus on professional royalty-free photographs pictures and sounds. what I kind of seen on pond5 is that a lot of people are very happy with them and they have thousands of five-star reviews on Trustpilot.com you go on their website and play around with the photographs that are doing quite well and kind of what their standard okay.
my second website is called Alamy has over 155 million stock images the vectors videos and 360-degree panoramic images you can be a long one of the next photographs on Alamy. so what I read on many many stock photography forums is that Alamy used to be a little bit better than it isn't now.
but it really just depends on your photos there are some photographers like Ryan Harris that makes over $100,000 a year just on this one website and Jim West who have the made over seven hundred thousand dollars on the Alarmy. so it is possible but there also are many many people that were with me $25 a month.
but on their website they usually they pay a 40 percent royalty per photo which will be effective starting February 2020 right now. it's 50 percent but they are going to lower to 40 percent in February 2020. my third website is EyeEm seems to be huge among the photographer community.
if you just scroll on Google you can see I am is a site photographers are having a lot of real success with you will always receive 50% of there venue of your photo the amount of the photo sales depends on the license purchase social license.
so for $20 per photo and web licenses so from $50 not too shabby okay. my next website is Getty I'm sure you've heard of Getty it's really really popular on average. if Getty approves your submission your content will be worth any where between $300 and $500 Getty will pay you 20 to 30% of royalty perfect photo sold. so if your photo sells for $300 times 20% that would be $60 about right $60 get a $60.
so if you sell three photos a month times 60 of the twenty percent royalty on the photo you will be getting one hundred and eighty dollars a month.if you were to sell three so those are goals I think our lot manage able okay. my next website is one two three RF one two three RF has millions of stock photos vectors video clips and music files at some price low prices this website pays you upon the more photos you can upload the more money you're gonna make.
so if you only have 250 photos and less you're only gonna make about 30% per sale. which is a little bit on the low end but if you have a million photos or lots not a lot the photos for example you can make up to 60% of royalty per photo. which is actually quite a bit my next website is Istock Istock pays you fifteen to forty five percent depending on the photo.
but they do offer up to the 22 percent to the 45 percent for the exclusivity so. if you only want to the work on this website you can be have a little bit of the a higher rate for the royalties. my next website is the shutterstock probably one of the ugly or platforms but Shutterstock is definitely.
if not the most popular and well known site for royalty-free photos so definitely have the traffic to their website you can earn up to $120 or image download but on our website.
it does say that Shutterstock will initially pay you twenty five cents every time your image is downloaded and then it raises to thirty three cents then 36 then and then thirty eight cents per download.
but my last website is dreams time to guarantee the quality of the photos on dreams time they have a pretty.thorough approval process. but if you do get to the approved you can earn twenty five to fifty percent of the royalty and you can earn up to the sixty percent for the exclusivity with their website.
if you choose to go exclusive with a dreams time they'll be also pay you an extra twenty cents per photo on top of the sixty percent royalty. I think that's two thousand dollars just for the twenty cents of the ten thousand. it's out right $10,000 cents each that's like $2,000 YUM I'll check my bath later and that's not even including the 60% that they still it for.
so that could be like really good if you have that many photos. so that's all I have for you guys today if you like this article. if you know any other websites that pay a pretty good way to for our royalty free stock footage please let us know in the comment box so we can share all this information and I will see you next blog.
thanks for reading.Have a GoodDoy.
