How To Avoid Digital Photo Rejection
The most important tool for this digital photo business is of
course the digital camera. The quality of the images is down
to the mega pixel capacity of the camera and if you want to
avoid your photos being rejected by the stock photography
sites, you will need at least a 5 mega pixel digital camera, and
make sure it is set to the maximum resolution possible.
Never submit more than 50 photos at a time and be careful
not to upload the same photo twice, as this will also lead to
possible photo rejection and even to account closure. To avoid this happening, don't change
8. the file name as your PC will point out any duplicates, and then when you are have a batch
to upload change the file names accordingly. Windows has built in software for multiple file
name changes, so it is just a question of a few clicks and won't be a time wasting exercise.
Keywords is basically the second most important factor after qualtiy, so a bit of research will
certainly help increase your photo sales. Try using the Google Keyword Tool found here:-
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal#
You can also have a look at similar photos on Google Images, just to see what Keywords the
front page images are using, but don't over do it or you will be seen as a spammer. Use
between 6 and 10 keywords to get optimum results and this way your photos won't be
rejected.
So as I said quality is the main determining factor to avoid Photo rejection, so make sure that
the images are not out of focus and that the light balance is even. Also your photos may be
too large in size, especially if you aiming at optimum quality, so my suggestion would be to
use either Adobe Elements or Adobe Photoshop to reduce the sizing, as with this software
the quality will not be affected. If you need to make an image larger, don't go over 5% as the
quality will be reduced significantly.
Finally don't submit any image that has previously been rejected. It's better to take that shot
again, but this time paying attention to the above guidelines, as this way your photos will
hardly ever be rejected and your photos will make you a lot more money.
9. The Best Way To Sell More Digital Photos
One of the best things about the internet is the way we can find things that we are really
looking for on some really major search engine providers. The sheer power of the internet
will allow people to find your photos that you market on leading stock photography sites.
Keywords are the basic ingredient for getting
people to buy your photos and correct keyword
use will guarantee traffic direct to your listed
photos.
You need to market your photos at every level or
angle so you reach a wide ranging audience. For
example with a photo of a football player you
would need to include "sports", "football",
"American football", and so on but the golden
rule is to target as many interested parties as
possible.
On a broader scale with any type of photo, you
need to use as many relevant words that describe
the subject matter. Take a look at similar photos
on the stock photography sites and see what keywords other digital photographers are using.
You should now be almost feeling confident about going out there and taking some great
shots right now and get them downloaded and up on to the stock photography sites. You will
soon be making a regular income from your digital photos and you will be able to see how
many visits you get to your photos.
With just a few more tips you will be ready to become an independent stock photographer
and really be able to enjoy working for the first time.
10. Who Can Sell Photos Online?
Now this is an interesting question I get from photographers who believe that this online
digital photography business is only valid
for US citizens. Well I would like to not
only dismiss such claims but also add that
US citizens are actually the power that
drives this Internet business, due to the
huge amount of users and also to the high
demand for digital photos of objects,
animals, scenes and a whole bunch of items
that just can't be found inside the USA.
Subject matter is all so important and a
good way to see just how many quality
photos are already available on the Internet is to do a "Google Search" on the main keyword
and then scan the images. You will find a whole range of images in various sizes, but you
may notice that the quality is often poor. These photos will not sell of course, but you will
soon see the difference in the quality of the images found as well as the various sizing
measures used on the uploaded images.
The actual jump from producing poor quality images to high selling images is not high at all,
but simple mistakes need to be corrected in order to reach the final goal of being able to sell
your quality images on the stock photography sites.
Displayed are some images that could be
sold online as the subject matter is perfect
yet the quality could be improved, but I am
sure you will spot the potential markets for
selling these photos to. Thanks must be
given to Jim Glen, who has so kindly
given me his permission to publish his
work.
The ideal photo is perfect when taken on
location and not after having been edited
with software like Photoshop or Elements.
11. Although these programs are perfect for resizing and removing unwanted objects etc, the
quality will never be as good if the photo had been taken correctly in the first place.
So once again anybody anywhere can sell photos online as long as they have a digital
camera, a computer and an Internet connection. It is only a question of quality and
interesting subject matter, and after that you only have to upload the photos to the stock
photography sites and then just wait to watch the money rolling in.
Who Will Buy My Photos?
"Who will buy my Photos?" is the question that many skeptics ask and it's a very valid
question for anybody thinking of investing
their time and resources in a new business
venture. Well that list would have to begin
with Web Masters who are constantly
looking for images for promoting their
online products and promotional materials.
Then you have traditional marketing and
advertising agencies that need photos on
all kinds of subjects for producing posters,
billboards, leaflets and calendars. Basically
in today's marketing industry the internet is virtually the only source for finding
photographic images which serves millions of people all over the world.
If you want to make money with your photos on the internet you don't have to be technically
minded. It really is simple and mainly involves just downloading photos to your computer
and then uploading them to our recommended photo money making sites.

Sell More Photos - Turn Your Backyard
Pictures Into Commercial Assets!
Not always would the picture of the illustrious Eiffel tower impress your readers. Taking
pictures of elated and grand places are a passé.
Photography of such grand places is redundant and
overtly done to the hilt. Today, a simple picture capturing
the enticing gestures of humans is much more sellable
than clicking the illustrious monuments.
A picture of an innocent laughing child has the power to
transcend his smile on to its viewers. Gestures and actions
captured at your home, backyard when clicked
aesthetically could yield you tons of money you could
just dream of. Here’s how to turn your casual backyard
photograph into your source of cash.
13. Photography is a form of self-expression that has the power of transcending the expression
captured in the photograph on to the visitor. These powerful pictures need not be captured in
distant locations. You may find myriad reasons to click at your vicinity without having to
transcend the boundary of your household. Your kitchen, backyard, garden could be your
next best stops for clicking fine and impressive pictures. Here’s a list of few endearing
options you can opt for within your own domesticity.
The best selling shots are people and their endearing gestures. You need not dress up anyone
in the best of their clothes and make-up. Simple and true-to-reality pictures sell the most.
Click them the way they are naturally!
Simple gestures like laughing, shaking hands, yelling, cribbing etc make for beautiful natural
expressions. Remember the people you are clicking may not be necessarily hired models.
You can simply focus on your family, friends or neighbors for capturing a true-to-reality
photograph.
Then look for casual and ordinary objects that are a part of your daily chores. These objects
could be of your child’s utility or father’s, like a pack of crayons, sharpened pencils, laptop
etc. The trick lies in clicking these ordinary objects in an aesthetic way so that they appear in
a new enticing appeal. So, next whenever you contemplate to click a new picture, take a
fresh look at your house keeping in mind if that object would be of interest to a designer or
an advertiser. Also eliminate all the logos, if any, on the clicked photograph via Adobe
Photoshop to avoid chances of photo rejection by a stock photography web site.
Then, pictures of food and beverages are also in demand by many online consumers. Luring
and mouth-watering pictures of food are popularly downloaded by people belonging to food
industry like hotels or restaurants. Now to make sure that your pictures are clicked and
downloaded you have to edit the picture in a way that renders it an attractive appeal, else it'll
be easily ignored by not only the stock photography site but also the online consumers.
Turning ordinary photographs into extraordinary is the key to a successful photographer.
Regardless of the grand location and people, your photograph should illustrate the gesture /
action captured in the picture in an elated manner. So, grab a camera today and start clicking
pictures!
