Make Money Selling Photos Online

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Tony Craig

Selling Photos online is becoming a fast growing business around the world. Despite the increasingly awareness of photography, in Africa, selling Africa photos online still remain unexploited. Probably due to lack of awareness of the business or possibly due to lack of interest in the business. It is possible to really make pretty good money. However, this does not mean that you can sell any type of photos and make money. It is very important to understand what can sell and what cannot sell, as this is one of the key points that a photographer must understand before starting an online stock photography business. These two questions must be asked and answered before starting a stock photography business.
What will sell and will not sell.

Whether you are a professional ,amateur photographer, or just a digital artist or just have an interest in photography who want to sell stock photos online, one of the first things that you must understand is what type of images are not in demand. If you are planning going around the town taking snaps of people, dogs in the streets and then sell them, you are surely wrong. Bear in mind that many buyers are looking for images that are commercially viable.

Listing Images of your friends and relatives on holiday or your pet will also not sell. It does not matter how clear or how beautiful your pictures are, for your pictures to sell, they must depict a concept. If they do not depict a concept they will not sell. In addition, for your photos to sell, the images should depict generic objects, emotion or a particular concept. Certain images of travel destinations can always find a buyer provided that the images capture the essence of the place or concept.

Images with too much or light digital noises will not sell. Images taken with poor quality cameras will also not sell. It is also vital that if you want to sell photography online, you must invest in a good quality digital camera. Remember that only photos with well-lit, good quality and sharp images will sell.

Be careful as Images with copyright issues will not sell. If you are serious about selling photos online, you must understand in detail about copyright laws. First, you cannot sell photos that have been taken by someone else. Only the person who has taken the photos have license of the images.If someone has hired you to take photos, then that person has the copyright over the images.

Photos with artworks or famous landmarks may have copyright attached. Art work is usually regarded as a copyright material. This means that you cannot sell a photo containing an image of an art work.
Your photos should be nicely composed, clear, and free of digital noises. Most importantly, your images should be of high resolution. Over or under exposed photos will also not find any buyer. Images with heavy shadows are also rejected.

Offensive, obscene, vulgar images or degrading images often don't often sell. Therefore, avoid photos that can offend the sentiments of a reasonable person.

Once you are clearly aware of what sells and what does not, you will be able to sell photos online and make good money. To list purely Africa originated photos, I recommend you use Africa Photo shop. Unlike some other stock photography sites, registration and listing of photos, illustrations, vectors and more in Africa Photo shop are absolutely free. The shops also cater for sellers/photographers from Africa countries by sending their proceeds /commission to them via western Union. They only accept on Africa Stock photos
