Hello dear readers. Today in this article I will tell about earnings by selling photos, microstock, stock photography. How to work with them, what kind of photos needed, etc.

Now, to make money online good money can a photographer, even Amateur photographer. All you need is a camera, an idea and the ability to use photoshop! Now a very increased interest in this type of earnings. And some people make this kind of money uh... If you have not heard about it, then you are welcome on my blog.

You have a question, how did you know about all this? If you earn it himself? How much to pay for a photo? Here is my answer: "I love photography. And there are quality work. As soon as I heard that you can earn money by selling photos, I immediately was interested! I read a lot about microstock. But did not earn! Why?

Yes, because photos are not accepted. Even photographs and high-quality, interesting. I don't know how to process them in photoshop. It was the biggest mistake. But now under good control in photoshop, and I think that soon will resume this activity!

So, if you love photography, you have a great camera and great pictures, then you should try this. What a quality camera? Well, not a camera phone! Now you can buy a camera with 12 megapik. over 6 thousand! I think you are caught. Now I'm all in more details. But still if you earn really big money, it is better to buy a professional camera, so for 25 thousand.

Microstocks.
The microstock — what is it? Microstock ( stock photography, also a microstock) is a Bank of photos. By the way, now began to take and vector graphics, video, audio and flash! The photographer only sends your photo and receives a cent. And he microstock takes care of all the issues ( advertising, storage, promotion). What types of microstock exist?

There are two kinds – a traditional and microstock photobank. In the first very difficult to get there photographer Amateur! You have to be a famous photographer, to work with these agencies. And to begin your usual photographer (just Amateur) created the microstock! There the price is less and the work can buy many times! So, hands in feet, recorded in microstock.

How much can I earn in microstock?
This is a very broad question. This work can be called as "passive income". Did the work once, and earn profit. If you search the Internet, you will find figures about this ratio. But, of course, to do so, the money necessary to Fund their portfolio!

"beginner Stoker (our portfolio includes about 100 works) — 50-200$;

advanced Stoker (our portfolio includes about 500 works) — 200-1000$;

Stocker-professional (a portfolio of 1,000 works) — 1000-5000$;"

full-time Stocker, portfolio continuously (quickly and accurately) updated with the percentage of profits invested in the business — from 5000$;

Stoker-monster — from$20 000.Yeah can't believe my eyes? It's true! There are such monsters.

Working with microstocks
In every microstock has its own peculiarity. Somewhere you just need to register. Somewhere you need to pass the exam(on the main microstock). You need to send a few your photos for consideration. If you passed the exam, then rejoice. It is not very easy, are really good. If not passed, do not despair, you can resume the attempt, after a certain time!

Also, you can understand the seriousness of working with large photostocks of the following text. If your photos include people( recognized face) then you need to send the Agreement Model. That is a text document. And as with a child. Do not send photos of naked babies, your account may be blocked. And the best about this issue is to search the Internet. There you will find more detailed information. Oh yeah, some banks require a passport scan.

It's time to tell me about themselves microstock. About the characteristics of each. So, let's begin.
