Individual photos which used to sell for thousands of dollars – thanks to a new concept called Microstock – now you can pick them up for pennies. Nowadays everyone is a photographer. Did you know that you can sell your photos online and make substantial amount of money from that as well?
What is Stock Photography?
Stock photography is a term mainly used to describe the images used by the companies on their packaging, leaflets, newsletters, and websites. Istockphoto is one of the most popular stock photography website. Istockphoto image prices varies between 1 credit per download to 20 credits. Credits are $1.30 each. Image size and resolution are decisive when it comes to pricing. High resolution images are more expensive than the low ones. Illustrations are usually the most expensive images at Istockphoto.
When I have money in my PayPal account, I usually buy some good quality photos from Istockphoto. It makes my blog posts more attractive and interesting to read.
Why Microstock is Good For You?
- Free to participate and there are no work hours, no bosses and no due dates. Feel the freedom!
- It pays money which is great given photography isn’t cheap.
- It is also a great way to educate yourself about the commercial side of photography.

Anyway to do money is good nowadays.
It’s a great idea, the sad part is I have no talent in photography. But like you said buying a great picture could help for your blog. I wonder how they keep these pictures private.
Thanks for the great post! Thank goodness there are photographers who are skilled in taking pictures, because I am not one of them. I have difficulty with a self-focusing camera and I even took a photography class (teehee).
Best,

I’ll have to check out those sites. I use Istockphoto, but I’m willing to check out other sites. One day I will buy my own camera; I want to save money, saving is a plus!
Keep encouraging people to submit their photos to the stock photography sites, we need some fresh new photos out there in the stock photography world, I am getting tired of seeing people use the same images everywhere.
Wow, my heart jumped out of my chest at a moment I saw the photo of the camera.
I have no words. That was the dream…Sorry for my futher words may sound childish, but that’s so indeed. The camera is what can make my life worthy living, but … I can just to dream about purchasing anything.
Oh my dear I would be more than just grateful if you could gift me the professional digital Canon.
Your generosity would gift the life to the disabled literally.
I desperately need the support at the moment. My wish sounds wild, but God blessess us and I trust the impossible.
Gift if the camera I will accept as the gift of life. Wow, I am so eagerly looking to your reply.
Please visit my blog. You will have a good time with my pictures and I hope for everything will be more clear to you then.
