Submitting To
Photography Websites
Stock photography is
images which are
royalty-free and can be
used for commercial use.
The photographer keeps
their ownership of the
photos, allowing people
to purchase the image
for a one-time fee.
There are many reasons
why people need
royalty-free photos. Web
designers need images to
create web sites and
blogs without having to
pay excessive fees for
use. Authors use stock
photo websites to create
book covers and book
trailers. Advertisement
executives use photos
for their commercial
advertisements,
t-shirts, and business
cards.
Shutterstock
"We want your photos!
Submit your photos to
Shutterstock and get
paid every time one of
your photos is
downloaded."
Shutterstock is a
website which offers
subscriptions for their
buyers. After the buyer
subscribes to the
website they are then
able to download 750
images over the course
of 30-days. The
photographer earns 25
cents for every time one
of their images is
downloaded. Once the
photographer earns $500
then their commission
raises to 30 cents a
download. Photographers
can earn more money by
referring other
photographers, stock
buyers, and submitting
photos for sale.
iStockphoto
Photographers need to be
a member of this website
before submitting
photos. After
registering then the
photographer can apply
to become a contributor.
iStock will then ask for
a submission of three
original samples of art.
iStock pays their
contributors a base
royalty rate of 20% for
each download. There is
a way to earn more money
by becoming one of their
exclusive contributors.
Exclusive contributors
can earn up to 40% for
each download.
Dreamstime
Dreamstime accepts
applications for photo
submissions on
quality-based photos.
They carefully review
each photo after a
member has registered
and applied to be a
contributor. Once the
photographer's photos
are uploaded to the
server, then they are
available to the buyers.
After the photos has
reached 10 downloads
then the price of the
photos reach another
level, a higher price.
In a similar way, once
the pictures reach 100
downloads then they
become a 5th level file,
meaning more money.
Photographers receive
30-50% of the fee. If
the photographer signs
up to become an
exclusive contributor
than they will receive
60% of the fee with an
additional bonus of 20
cents for each approved
submission.
According to a study by
the PDN Magazine,
Dreamstime awards the
highest royalties in the
industry.
Dreamstime sends
payments to
photographers through
bank check, Paypal, or
Moneybookers. This
company requests their
contributors to keep
their submissions online
for at least six months.
Conclusion
Anyone can earn money by
selling their
photography to online
stock photography web
sites. The three sites
mentioned above are only
a small portion of the
numerous sites available
for photo hobby
enthusiasts. When
submitting your images
be careful and not
submit any photos which
might have some kind of
trademark in picture
such as, Harley Davidson
or Coca Cola.
