Imagine getting paid to take pictures! Something so simple, a hobby for many, can bring you some extra moola. Think about it. There are websites that sell consumers the rights to use their images. Where do you think they get those images from? Someone has to be taking pictures. Why can't it be you? Shutterstock boasts of over 280,000 images added daily. They charge consumers $29 for the use of 2 images, $49 for 5 images, etc. Browsing their 28 million image collection is free. By clicking on 'Become a Contributor', you can sign up to sell your photos and/or images and start making money right away.
Get paid 25 cents per download for your images - and up to $200 each time you refer a subscription buyer. Check out the Earnings Schedule to get more information on what you can earn. The longer you work with Shutterstock, the more you can earn, up to $120 per image! Keep in mind your images must have a resolution of at least 4 megapixels. Shutterstock only accepts images in JPEG format. They are looking for commercial images that they can sell, not your normal amateur photos - a good idea is to look through magazines and other places to see what sells.
It's easy to get started. Sign up with an email account, verify your email address, upload a user I.D. such as a driver's license or passport. Then upload 10 images showing your best work. Again, I advise that you do a little research and find out what sells before you submit your 10 images, because once submitted, if you are not accepted, you have to wait 30 days before you re-apply. This may sound discouraging, but don't give up because there is plenty of money to be made in this line of work. Most applicants don't get accepted to Shutterstock the first time. Your reviewer will comment on the photos that don't meet their standards, the ones that are not commented on gives you a good idea of what they are looking for.
