Making Real Money From Digital Pictures
Like most people today, I suspect that you have a fairly decent quality digital camera.
Chances are you probably only use it for things like holidays, family events or snapping the kids as they have birthdays etc.
Once you've taken your pictures you'll probably not get around to having them printed let alone transferring them to your computer.
In fact the next time you switch your camera on, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the memories it contains before taking a few more snaps to add to your digital memory box.
But did you know that those photographs could be making you money? It's true.
The world around us is flooded with images and those images have to come from somewhere.
Apart from the professional photographers who make up a tiny fraction of images suppliers, those pictures come from people like you and me.
And the clever people among us have cottoned on to the fact that there are companies out there who, believe it or not, desperately want our photographs.
There is a constant demand for good quality photos and never has there been a better time or an easier way to supply those photos and make some decent money.
So how do you supply them.
Easy.
By using what is known as a Stock Photography web site.
These sites have been set up to meet he supply and demand of photographs.
Here's how it works in a nutshell.
You upload a number of your photographs to a stock photography site and they are added to a digital catalog where they sit ad infinitum.
A potential buyer comes along, and liking your image, pays to download it for their own uses.
The stock photography site charges a set fee for the download and you get a royalty payment.
But here's the good bit.
Your picture doesn't get sold just the once and then removed.
Oh no.
Remember I said ad infinutum? Your picture will remain on the site for other customers to use and as they download it, so you get paid, again and again and again.
There are some photo's earning quite literally hundreds of dollars a month.
So the photos sitting on your camera could be earning you money.
