How to Sell Photos Online for Free

If you're looking for an easy way to make money from home, you may want to take a look at some of the sites that will allow you to sell photos online.

Just go to iStockPhoto and sign up for a


Free account. You will be a "contributor" and you will make money selling your photos online.

The submission process is actually pretty easy and once your photos are up and running, you could start making money right away.

You can take pictures of just about anything and submit, but remember the better the photos are the more interest they will generate, earning you more money.

Really try to sharpen your photography skills if you aren't a seasoned photographer. If you can create some great looking pictures, you will start getting paid for selling your photos online.

If you take photos of people, you will have to submit a release form signed by them. This is the only draw back when it comes to selling your photos. If you can get past that and concentrate of creating excellent photos that people will like, you will begin making money through your photography efforts.

You may want to think about investing in a high quality digital camera and a copy of Adobe photoshop. The high quality digital camera is a given but photoshop can do some amazing things to your photos and there is no rule saying you can't edit the photos before submitting.

There are a couple precautions you should be aware of though. Most of these photo sites recquire that any person that appears in the photo(s) sign a release form, which allows you to (legally) sell the photos that those people appear in. Also, you cannot sell photos that include Company names.

Just read each sites Terms of Service thouroughly before submitting your photos and you'll be good to go!
