Off late, a lot of our friends have been asking us to tell them how do I make money online. One of the favorite ways of mine is – stock photography.
What is Stock photography?
How do I make money through Stock Photography?
Stock photography refers to a collection of photos that are available online for use to designers and individuals for free or for a nominal fee, to be used in their design projects and presentations. It can be the picture of a ball, a chair or even the sky that people can download and use.
For example, consider that I am writing an article on chocolates. Instead of googling up an image of a chocolate, I download stock photo of a chocolate and use it . Stock photos are licensed for such kind of use. Some sites offer them free while others offer them for a small fee which goes as royalties to the photographer .
