Selling photos on Microstock is basically selling to people who are most likely, web designers or marketing people who plan to use your photo for advertising or making a product. Other than uploading to as many microstock / macrostock agencies, what else is there? Macrostock, high quality photos that sell at a starting 3 digit figure. Quality wise, an entry level type dslr camera may not be up to par to pass the submission requirements and your competition is at least shooting with a top model prosumer. If the point of selling pictures is to make money and to do that you need a buyer, and these buyers are most likely going to make money off your photo. Why not take a stab at it yourself? This is where print on demand services come in. Cafepress is limiting on the free account you can only make 1 of each product, quite useless I think. To make more of any one product you have to upgrade your account and pay. Then I found <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/webitect*">Zazzle</a> (they are the biggest/fastest growing "print on demand" site. Probably because there aren't any fees for using the services. Anyways, as skeptical as I usually am, I'm trying it out, hey it's free. Originally, I had only planned on putting up photos for poster printing, as I like motivational posters. Then I saw all the other products that I could put my photos on...Hey it's free! One can make as many of whatever as one wants. The really cool thing about <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/webitect*">Zazzle</a> is that you can sign up (for your free account) and sell someone else's stuff for a 15% cut of the selling price. Sellers name their own royalty fees as a % of the base selling price. Payout threshold is $25 via paypal or cheque. The big question is, can this make any money. That I can't answer, I can however tell you that, I've uploaded a handful of photos, massed produced items using templates and had my first sale a few days ago. It wasn't even a poster either! Comparing to my microstock sales, I didn't get my first sale until 3 months after my first upload, this product sale came less than 3 weeks after my account creation. Yup, my fingers AND toes are crossed ! | |||
