Two ways of Money-making Methods

I should warn you that there are plenty of get-rich-quick scams available on the web. Since I never will
fall into one, I will never drag any reader into one neither. I would only write a hub page here only
when I am thoroughly convinced that it is a genuine way to make money on web. This information
collected and presented here are verified by me and through by my friends who are making real
money in a genuine, good way. The more sincere in your efforts, the more you will get rewarded.

There are fundamentally two genuine ways to earn money on web. They are by,

1. Selling a service or

2. Selling a product.
If you choose to sell a service, you will earn only when you work. In other words, when you
stop working, you don't earn money. Agreed?

But, if you sell a product, you will earn money from it even after you stopped working. Let me
make this clear, for instance, if you shoot some photos with your digital camera and upload
them to stock photo sites, you will earn money whenever someone downloads your photo.
Every person who is downloading you photo from a stock photo site will have to pay royalty to
you. You will earn from your photos for your lifetime, actually.

Which one do you think is a better way to earn money? I prefer the second method, because
like the majority of hub page users, I try to make money as a part-timer and this would be
applicable to moms working from home, dads and other young lads who are trying to build a
passive income from web.

Forget all the hardships you faced so far.
You are one stroke away from creating your cash flow.

Can you REALLY make MONEY with a Digital Camera?
quot;Yes. You can sell the same photo a number of timesquot;

quot;You will earn royalty whenever someone downloads one of your photos – for lifetimequot;

Yes, all with a simple, point and shoot digital camera

that you might already have.
Are you tired of get-rich-quick scams? Here's a genuine way to make money. Yes, it will NOT
make you rich overnight, probably. But, with your hard work and some clever techniques that I
teach here, you can build up a passive income. Welcome to the world of Stock Photography.

I know what you are going to say, 'you don't have a professional camera'. Right, that's the first
myth I am going to break here. I have seen many ordinary photographers with a simple digital
camera with 5 megapixels, 3X zoom - who are making a decent monthly income from selling
stock photographs. Here, I am going to help you to make money with your digital camera.
Believe in you and your digital camera. You are going to make money with it.

What is Stock Photography?

Look at the above photos. They are some of the highest selling photographs and you know it
is not too difficult to shoot such pictures, if you the know-how. Once you have shot such a
good quality picture, you can make money from it by selling it a 'number of times'. Yes, every
time when a person purchases, you will make money. That's the beauty of stock photography.

So, what exactly is quot;Stock Photographyquot;?

quot;Stock photography is photography or other imagery of common landmarks, objects,
concepts, people, and events that can be used and reused for a variety of commercial
purposes. Stock photography can be searched by keyword and remains cataloged until
purchased by a customer.quot;

stockphotography.uv.ro/en/dictionary.html

You shoot some pictures that are of good commercial value (look at the above examples) and
submit to stock photo agencies. A stock photo agency combines the stock photos from many
photographers and promotes them for sale. Media publishers (magazines, newspapers and
web sites) search such stock photo sites for images , and when they download your picture,
you get paid a commission. So, you make money whenever people download a copy of your
photo. You can build a portfolio and submit to many stock sites at once (without providing
exclusive rights to anyone), and make money.

Simply put, it is like selling your digital photos and earning royalty for a lifetime. That's why
this is a passive income. For example, I had uploaded 25 images on a stock site named,
fotolia an year ago, but still they earn me commission.

How much you can earn?

It varies depending on the stock photo agencies, as they pas from 30% to 80% commission.
So, for each download you can make from 30 cents to $1. So, at the end of a month, if 100
people have downloaded your photo, then you would have made $30 to $100. You can also
sell a photo on an quot;Exclusive Buyout Licensequot; for up to $300 a photo, but once you sold a
photo on this condition, you loose all your rights, royalties etc.

Things you need:

1. Digital Camera (minimum of 4 megapixels)

2. A Light box.

No need to spend money for it. You can make a light box with this tutorial

Create an Account and Submit Photos
To start selling your photographs, you need to join a micro stock agency. When you submit
your application, you will be asked to submit few sample images. Your photos will be
assessed for quality.

Make sure that you set your Camera Settings to highest quality (Refer to the Camera manual)
and largest picture size and shoot some sample images with bright light and preferably inside
a photo light box that you had created.

My friends have suggested that Fotolia is one of the easiest
microstock agencies for new photographers to join. Fotolia
offers 50% commission to you so, you will earn 50 cents
whenever someone downloads your stock photo. You will get
an easy approval and the process is very quick. Another good
site is Dreamstime which provides 30% commission on each
photo sales.

Both these sites have tremendous traffic, high sales records, so, with a good quality stock
photo portfolio of 50 images, you can earn up to $100 assuming people have downloaded
200 times.

3 Tips to Make Money with Digital Camera

If you want to get some basic introduction on making money with digital camera, please head
straight Make Money with your Digital Camera my earlier hub on the same topic. If you want
to be successful in selling photos, you need to do three things.

1. Enrol in Stock Photo Sites:

To make money by selling photographs, first you need to enrol in a stock photography site
who will act as a agent to market and sell your photo. For example, Fotolia and Featurepics

are two very well known biggest stock sites for entry level photographers like you and me.
Dreamstime is another stock site that is very popular among semi-professional
photographers. You can earn your photos to many stock sites at the same time, so, sign-up in
at least 3 stock sites to know which one will work for you. All stock sites could work for you
and you can earn money from more than one place for same photos.

2. Master your Digital Camera:

This is such a very simple yet powerful step and you need not spend money to master your
digital cameras. All you have to do is to have a couple of good reads of the camera user
manual, and plenty of practice. By looking at the best selling pictures, you can compare your
skills. Try different modes and techniques with your digital cameras. And I will never advise to
purchase a high-end SLR cameras at this stage, however, you can purchase a shiny digital
SLR with your photo sale commissions if you are serious about photography.

3. Learn about selling your photos:

Obviously, there are some tricks of the trade. You need to learn what sells, how to sell and
where to sell. Even, I am just a starter in selling photos and had a fair success rate with it and
earned few dollars (it's always good to earn money). So, in the next section, I review “Digital
Camera Dollars” an online course that I undertook and it taught me plenty of good tricks and
tips of selling stock photos. It is one of best investment I had made so far and a friend of mine
paid that course fees from his online earnings.

Remember to read Ten tips to earn plenty with Stock Photography Websites

Remember this universal truth:
For the one who seek wealth, there is plenty available.

Learn from the Best People

Meet Mr. Yuri Arcurs, the highest selling micro-stock photographer in the world. This Danish
photographer (still a university student) makes $25,000 per month by selling stock photos. All
his earnings are his royalty fee, so he is not selling all those photos outright. You can read
Yuri Arcurs interview on Crestock

Now, if your goal is to earn at least $1000 a month (let us be
conservative as you can be the next Yuri Arcurs if you want
to), then you need to invest in some resources to learn few
tips and tricks sincerely. Fortunately, one of my friend
presented this “Camera Dollars E-course” as a birthday gift
(value = $40) recently andCamera Dollars E-course I am
amazed by the simple tips that they taught. These tips range
from how to shoot the winning pictures, how to use the right
keywords, title and description so that the photos come in top
of the search engines and most importantly how to price your
photos and market your photos so you can earn the desired passive income.

Some of the myths that this Camera Dollars Course cleared out from my mind are: You don't

need expensive camera and top quality lenses. A simple 4 mega pixel camera will do. You
don't need to be a top-notch photographer to earn money from stock photography. You don't
need a 1000 photos portfolio to earn money as a stock photographer. You can start selling
even 3 or 4 pictures. You don't need to work full-time. Just as a part-time hobby, in your
leisure time, you can work. You don't need to hire models. Ask your friends to pose for you
and give them a simple gift (a dinner perhaps) as a reward.

I can go on listing all the tricks they taught but I would be violating their copyright if I do. All I
can say is, it is worth the money and I can highly recommend the course. When you consider
you are going to earn plenty of money (uninterrupted cash flow) in your spare time, you can
earn that $40 investment back quickly. Enrol at the Camera Dollars Course to learn more and
make a career as an amateur, freelance photographer.

Report me back with your success story. I will be waiting for you. All the best for your journey.

That's the advantage in learning anything well and the investments you make is worth every
penny.
