Is photography your passion? Would you like to turn your passion into extra income? Using a digital camera, an internet connection, and photo editing software program you can easily turn your photography hobby into cash. Interested? All you need to do is read on for some tips on making this happen.
Due to the Internet we are now living in a global marketplace where people can purchase anything they want, including digital photos. Websites specializing in stock photography provide photos to consumers such as web designers, product marketers, newsletter creators, etc. Each of these consumers are looking for creative, quality photos and it is here where you can earn an incredible income simply by uploading your photos and waiting for them to be purchased. Basic photos are what sell the best so don't worry if you think your photos won't attract consumers.
Deciding on a theme for your photographs is important. You want to attract the attention of the consumers and the only way you can is by uploading attractive, quality photographs. Creativity is also important as you want to put a new spin on basic items. People will be looking for images that will enhance their product so you definitely need to put an original spin on your photos. For instance, a lady with red lipstick in one hand and a cherry in other will sell more than a monkey jumping through the trees.
Worried you can't produce quality photos? Taking pictures as a hobby is different than trying to market them to professionals. It is best to do some research on what qualifies as a "quality" photo, i.e. lack of noise, clarity, etc., before submitting your photos to the stock photography sites. Online you can find a variety of tutorial e-books that can guide you through this process. turnyourphotosintocash.com is one of the best books that I have found. It has clear instructions on how you can actually start getting great results in digital photography by following a few guidelines.
I mentioned that you would want access to photo editing software as you will need to crop and edit your photos. If you are unfamiliar with these programs I recommend you look into www.learnelementsnow.com. Here there are loads of tutorials and tricks to make the most of your digital photos. The site creator, David Peters, also has an e-book which gives you step-by-step instructions on how to master your skills in Adobe Photoshop Elements in just 2 hours!
Once you have mastered the skill and taken a few photos, you have to follow certain instructions to upload your pictures in the micro stock agency sites. Primarily the picture should be in JPEG format. Ensure that the picture you have uploaded is 100% clear and unambiguous and does not have any granules. Even if it does have, remove all these before submitting. The photo should never include any names of the labels or brands. This will be copyright infringement. Try removing these with the help of Adobe Photoshop or Elements.
Naming your photographs is one of the most overlooked elements of stock photography. When naming your photos you want to include keywords that are appropriate to the photo itself. This is another area where research will pay off. Typical consumers use keywords to search for what they are looking for and you want to ensure your photos appear on the first page. Look at similar photos and see what keywords they use to describe what they are selling.
So it is a wise idea if you upload your pictures in more than one agency site. It will minimize your loss too. There so many more important tips you need to make this an instantly profitable online business.
