How I made 35K Selling Photos Online
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- In this video, I go over exactly how I made $35,000 selling photos online. Most of the revenue came from stock photography on Microstock sites. However, I do also make money from prints and direct stock photo sales.
If you are interested in the type of photography I do, here are links to my portfolio on the different sites.

How I upload to so many sites easily: www.photerloo....
It is so refreshing to watch a video that isn't edited every 30 seconds and where the narrator actually pauses between points. All this not to mention the excellent content. Thanks!
Exactly. Never thought I'd grow to honestly like or appreciate a guy on UA-cam in just minutes. In just one video.
P.s. Your site is pretty nice too, James. All good stuff. Thanks for sharing, for the insights and for the tips!
if someone is willing to pay money for your photos, you are a professional photographer, whether full time or not.
Kirt Germond right? The definition of a pro.
Or semi-pro. Partly earning your living that way
@@Theo_best might as well work overtime at your job. I found that chasing the wind with all these part time opportunities has not worked. What did work was actually becoming more valuable and learning more at the job I have now. That’s actually been more profitable than chasing money here and there. It’s actually less work too. Focus on concentrating on your work your doing now and becoming an expert in your field
I am 14 and a javascript devoloper and a photographer and i see you as an inspiration!
This video is a miracle! I am searching for new ways to make money with my photography and I was just about to give up. You helped a lot! It's a lot of work setting up the accounts and uploading all that material but it will pay off!
Thank you man! Wish you and your family the best !
Thanks a lot. I watched a bunch of “I share my experience...” videos but none has actually given details ... yours is the one to go with. Thank you for sharing all those insights. Really appreciate it. Best Video in that field so far.
$35.000 in total for 6 years, that's $500 a month.
Yes, that is about right. I know that isn't much if it was my full-time job, but it covers my camera equipment, software, website hosting, computer and part of my travel costs (not all but a portion of it).
I love travelling and landscape photography so I would take these trips and photos even if I couldn't make any money off them, so the fact that I can make $500 is a great bonus for me.
@@Photerloo That's a great side income.
That is salary in some countries btw
Better than nothing right? I wish I could earn $500 a month doing what I want. 😂
my stockers xp oday and lasr 2 year ...about 2000-3000 d/month
but i do only video, photo for 0.3bux, it's must be 20K+ portfolio and you must be a genius photographer, all neches there fukk of pro pshoto stockers, no than just video
portfolio with -500-700 video, animations, cinemagaphs, thats from shutter and in sutter i have less 400 assets on shutter, and they paying me 300---500 dol, and pond5, videohive, istock, pisxta, motion elements, together, it was +-2000-2500 every month and 2 yars i was in researching of future and nothing was produced ... nothing , and any new assets wasn"t do, but know i see how it start to fall, istock before year minmum paid me 500 d/month today i get 167, and all my stocks th same dwngrade,so , i start to do, but know it will stop when i will do 3000 videoassets. and 90% of cloackers, ,...blogers...lying for views, because YT pay to them money per view...so doon;t bielive to anyone, see, check, try and just this way will answer to yours questions
So useful. I'm researching on going at selling photos online and this is great info. Thank you
After years of seeing my own videos pop up on my screen saver and thinking “wow, it’s someone’s job to take pics like this” then realize, oh, I took that.. I’m wanting to try to sell some. Great video. Just getting started.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank You.
Thank you for the insight!! I always wondered how I could have other people enjoy my photos and earn myself money lol. Just made a shutterstock account and I love your photos! might have to pick up one myself.
How much does Shutterstock pay per photo?
Why does this guy sound like the guy from Khan Academy? I'm learning math again 🤣
he does doesnt he.
Lmao
Bruh I use khan academy too 🤣😂
He got that "this is CNN" voice
Dude, extremely usefull, my case is the same, I'm a web programmer, and I like it, but I love colors and images and landscapes etc, I'm a photographer at weekends, and I just realized that I don't wanna stay in front of a computer my entire life. So I decided to invest my money next year just on equipment to travel and take videos and pictures to sell online
Same I’m going to go on the road in my van travailing trough Europe
Love the simplicity of this video. Very easy to follow
It's about time that they recommended me something useful. I am also a software developer who's looking to make money from photography if only to fund my hobby but hopefully enough to fund my traveling as well. I'm thinking of going all in for a year to see what I can do and putting development as the hobby.
Those are impressive numbers for number of photos you have in your portfolio. Most stock photographers suggest 10k photos needs to be in portfolio to make any difference
Hey, great video! It was very informative and encouraging. I'd just started uploading my photos to microstock sites and this vid of your is proving very helpful. Thanks man, much appreciated!
Did you made money from it
which site did you use?
Excellent video, appreciate the detail and chart breakdowns!
thanks for the awesome content James. Truly inspired.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Greatly appreciated! Some amazing photography there too.
Man, this information was so valuable thanks for sharing.
thanks for all the great info James! much appreciated!
Thank you for the Excel breakdowns. It’s good to see where the effort of uploading is best spent. Getting that kind of money to help keep my gear current would be great.
thanks for the video, its really helpful how you've got stats and graphs and openly shared them, results and you thoughts, and you life changes during thus period. very helpful
Beautiful photos James! Good Job! 👍🏼💕🌿
Thank you for sharing this video. This motivates me to shoot for these microstock sites.
thanks for the video ! Love the first shot of Birkenhead lake ! our favorite spot !
Great! Straight to the point, no nonsense, informative and well layed out charts.
Thanks so much for sharing! I have been looking to do stock photography and could never find a good resource video or information regarding this type of information.
Good info. Recently I have been upping my game on photography. I've been thinking about trying to sell to magazines. :)
This was the video I needed today. Perfect. Thanks.
Thank you for the video, asI am thinking of doing Shutterstock as beginner.
Thanks for the video, it is very helpful for starter. Love your photo too, very professional! Wish i have the photograph skill to take picture like you.
Thank you so much sir. Your video is very useful. I also have the same thought of getting sum for lenses and new cams by selling photos. I will keep in touch with you sir
Excellent video. Content is king. I know people that have well over 5000 photos and nowhere near this amount of earnings. I have a small portfolio (around 1000-2000 photos, depending on the site) with close to zero sales because of the content. Mainly random snaps. Stock needs an elaborate approach, dedication and perseverance. It is a marathon for most people on the platforms.
Great video! Maybe now I am going to be encouraged to finally upload my photos to microstock sites. I never ddi cause I am never satisfied with my work but having them lay around all day, doesn't achieve anything. Thank you for giving us such a detailed look into what can really happen when you upload pictures of nature photography!
You have great skills in doing a presentation and teaching. thank you for this video.
Thank you so much. This video is really useful for a beginner like me!
I'm failing to find anyone else who makes any money in stock photography and I'm noticing the started 1 to 3 years ago and they have uploaded thousands of photos. I'm wondering if the market it just saturated now compared to when you started and that has driven prices down to awful levels.
Thanks for sharing so valuable info, very generous of you
Hey Stu from Hangover >D
Very nicely put together, info was most useful for me. thanks
Great video and information; Your on line images look fantastic; good work !!
What is micro stock? Some people might scoff at $500 per month, but this is a part time job for you. Who wouldn’t want an extra $500/month? Congratulations!
Nevermind you helped me with the site at the end. I will absolutely donate if it amounts to anything. I need landscape pictures and lost a hard drive with everything a few years back. So I have no personal images really to use for the time
You are right if we do it in the right way, and be patient it is going to work!! i have sold one clip and now i am buying a tripod Yahooo. keep making videos we love them and so far your videos are way better than the other creators!
Thanks for the video James!! I'm only making 150€ / month with microstocks (done that for about 5 years now) and I have the same conclusion : don't do kids if you wan't to make a living from photography! ;)
@Rick Walgreen Well, if you wanna make a living from photography, you can't rely on microstocks. Try weddings, not difficult, pay very well.
Love that, must get into selling mine online. I hope it's easy to do. Many thanks. Awesome help :)
I was lost on what video to click on until I saw that smile lmaf
thanks for the honest review
Wich cam we shud purchase to take photos minimum cost of de camera suitable to take photos?
Use whichever one you already have. Got a phone, just use that to get started.
i am also a software developer. having the same dream. thanks for the video.
Sir me I did sale my pictures on foap but I never been paid so what is going on
Great video! Thanks for sharing this. Can you say why you switched from squarespace to smumug?
So helpful and you have such a sweet personality
Thanks for the video. It gives me some hope. I just started with shutter stock and adobe 3 months ago and have made $36 with 47 photos
That's a good start! Stick with it and I think you will be surprised with the results over time.
I've been trying to think of things left and right to try to make more money since I'm an Entrepreneur. I was taking some photos in the park when I wondered, "is it possible to sell some of these as stock footage"? Low and behold I found this video. Thank you so so much
Thank you for sharing very clear and honest tips.
This was a very helpful video!
Thanks a lot, this video was really helpful!
Hi www.shutterstock.com/g/Antonia365?rid=3890936& i highly recommend to register with this company. It is easy to earn😊😊
This is good taking into account the number of photos you have. ($500/month with 600 photos approx...) If you triple or quadrupled your portfolio you would make a decent income. Congrats!
Seems we have some common interests. I plan to retire in a few months. I love photography and have started uploading with two different agencies. Shutterstock is one, Just made my first sale (25 cents). I've just found another called picfair. The boast 100,000 photographers and offer a much sweeter deal. Have you tried them and how did that go?
Yes. I have a number of photos up there but don't get many sales. They let you set your own prices and give a larger cut but I don't think they have many buyers, but you may have better luck than I have.
Thanks for sharing James!
Veru useful video and channel. Thanks a lot for sharing this great video 👍🙂
After a photo is sold can we use it ourselves? Like for example can we keep selling it or print it onto a shirt and sell or so. Or does it fully belong to them now?
Hi, I'm from roof of the world and really appreciated for your information.
Nice Video Dear and Respected Sir
Brilliant video, thank you
Hello, first of all I wanted to congratulate you on your videos, they are very useful.
I wanted to ask you about the keywords, I am using the ones from shutterstock but I read that there are better ways, which one do you recommend?
Hi thanks very informative
Recently I had the shutterstock app in my mobile n uploaded 5 photos but none of them got approved! Moreover the app was very slow to upload n had bugs!
I had deleted the app thinking shutterstock was a fake but seeing your video I understand it is big! Suggestions on how to get approve photos at shutterstock?
You have a great gallery
Thanks for the video

I like your landscape 📷 s thank you for information
I have about 20 photos of Team USA VS TEAM Canada from around 1988. My mother was a Photographer for Pridhams studio. Gretzky, Wendell Clark, Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy. Mark Messier. All close up. On the ice. All excellent photos. Can anyone tell me how I can sell them???
In Serbia, 500$ a month is a great amount. 🙂 I followed your channel. 👍
I'm a software developer too and love landscape and astrophotography!
Great video! Thanks for sharing 😀

Sir, it was really nice to hear about your income from selling photographs and made good money. So will you reveal which free stock photo websites you had traveled this long years?
If you want to make huge cash taking photos then go here now: zootearnphotos.blogspot.com
Great video Photerloo. Thanks for sharing that with us. 🙂
Hi James, thanks for the video. I was curious if you upload the same photos to the different stock sites or do you upload certain photos as being exclusive to any of the sites?
Hi Dennis, I upload the same photos to all of my top stock sites. I have made some photos exclusive in the past as a test but I found it was more profitable upload to multiple sites and take the lower commission than go exclusive with one site.
The sites I tried some exclusive photos with we're Getty and Istockphoto. I have tried exclusive with other sites. Hope it helps.
@@Photerloo Thanks for the info, James. I appreciate it.
Very informative, thank you!
Thanks for the info. I am not a professional photographer either but do enjoy taking photos and recently I have been exploring how to use my photos to make some money as well. I have joined Picfair but have not yet had any sales. Have you heard of Picfair? If so what are your thoughts on this sight.
Thanks for sharing your experiences! As someone who is considering trying to make a living from this kind of work I have to ask, do these numbers take into account your expenses?
No, those are only earnings, it doesn't take into account expenses.
Thank you for sharing
What kind of camera do you use, and how many pixels does it have? Thanks...SBN RESONATE
Which site you uploaded photos to get $35000 and if we do full time then we get $50000
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, you did the best choise. Sub + 👍 just for your clarity and for the time doing this video. Good continuation.
Go look at outher before you get your hopes up this and outher , Site ask for all Facebook and other . Social media lest why so they can get on a . Prospect list (sales)
So I have a pretty good idea. How does one use a picture to use himself? Like if I used it to sell on those sites with a clever edit how would you go about things like that
that focus bro
I have scanned 5000+ 4 X 6 prints that are 25+ years old and are different categories such as sports and travel. Which of the many online stock sites has an audience for photos that are 25+ years old? For example a photo of Petros the Pelican with a group of fishermen on the Greek Island of Mykonos. My Petros Pelican differs from all photos I have found on every stock photo site I searched due to my Petros being more of the historical Petros not the tourist Petros. My Petros pelican photo does not have the high quality that Getty would approve but Getty is the top choice for historical images. Any other sites for these 25+ year old photos you recommend?
Hi there. I love taking photos with my iPhone. Would a professional camera be better to get started in selling my photos? Thank you in advance, from an amateur photographer.
But which website you can sell your photo this much ?
Thank You Sir
