ShutterStock – Make $$$ with Your Photos!

2005.04.08.11.08 · 14 comments

Kathleen posted something about ShutterStock and it’s just what I was waiting for in ages. If you’re a photographer (beginner; pros wouldn’t take a second to look at this) you can make $.20 per downloaded photo you submitted to the site. Someone likes your photo, wants to use it for his/her wallpaper or whatever, downloads it, you make $.20 while keeping the copyright. It’s that simple. I don’t know if this is a good way to make money but it’s an awesome way to make you feel worth your work. $.20 is nothing but it’s a good start. Every photographer has to start low, before making six-figure incomes like Ansel Adams.

Ok let’s cut to the chase.. go sign up! :D

Yeah, I checked that site out as well but it just didn’t seem like a good idea – I think there are some others out there with more professional approaches to marketing your work… let me know if you make any cash from it.

Are you feeling the effects of the earthquakes over there? I sleep like a baby here in Jakarta – never feel ‘em.

Brandon » Yeah I felt the quakes, for a moment I thought I was back in Pasadena! :-P I don’t think I’ll upload my photos there, I changed my mind after reading about the model release. Too much hassle to deal with, better channel my energy elsewhere.
