hi guys welcome back to another Money Monday video we talk all about things money on Monday
and today I have a special video for you guys me around here hello my name is
Kat Theo and today I had a little bit too much sugar and I'm a little you need
to get some energy out so please bear with me
hopefully I'm not really obnoxious but it might be a little hard okay so I have
a friend makes a really good part-time income by selling her photos online she
it's a professional photographer so she doesn't do this as her career but if
you're interested in getting into this I'm gonna list ten of the highest paying
websites that she uses to make more than a thousand dollars a month on these
online platform if you're already a photographer then I think this video is
right up your alley okay let's go
before we get into the ten website let's just go over to some basic tips and
tricks in general to make the most amount of money that you can selling you
your photography on stock photography websites so just before we start I do not want to
over hype any of this most people are not going to make a full-time income
like she does what it's pretty part-time income because $1000 is pretty part time
but she doesn't make it passively but I don't want to overhype any of this
because she took years and years to get to where she is and she has over 20,000
photos online also if you're already a professional photographer you can just
skip this part because this is gonna be for the noobs in the house like myself
my first tip is not only high quality photos are going to be accepted any low
resolution photos that are blurry are not going to be accepted and don't even
waste your time my second tip is obviously if you're gonna have high
quality photos you need high quality gear so a professional camera sometimes
you can get away with an iPhone X because they have a really good camera
on it but most cameras on your phone aren't going to be high quality enough but however
I don't recommend just buy the camera to sell your photos online but if you
already have a camera lying around and you kind of want to play around with it
and learn some things and make money maybe on the way then this could be a
good option my third tip is you might need release forms if you're gonna photograph
models and buildings you need to have their permission obviously if
you're gonna put their face online and make money off
photos also are not going to get accepted if they have brands in the
background names or license plates for example if you're taking a picture of a
city background which is so it's pretty well but there's an Nike sign in the
background or an apple sign they are not going to accept it my fourth tip is
honestly if you don't I'm posting thousands of pictures don't expect to
make that much money because there are millions of photos that are uploaded
every single day and my fifth tip and last one is before you spend your money
that just made on your photographs make sure you take out a little bit for tax
because these is a form of income you will have to think about taxes so if
you're interested in learning more about how to be successful selling them
photographs online let me know in the comments below and we can make a part 2
but this video is just gonna be into the highest main website okay let's get
started okay one more thing sorry what a very important tip my photographer told
me is that if you want to make a lot of money you have to capture with intention
for example photographs that sell really well including food health beauty
fitness money business etc I could go on these photos sell really really well so
you should stick into these categories if you want to sell a lot of
photos so the first website is pond5 pond5 is reported to have the world's
largest collection of stock footage hosting more than a ten point five
million clips as early as 2018 they give you 50% of this sale which is actually
quite high compared to a lot of the other websites we're going to talk about
and they focus on professional royalty-free photographs pictures and
sounds what I kind of seen on pond5 is that a lot of people are very happy with
them and they have thousands of five-star reviews on Trustpilot.com you
go on their website and play around with the photographs that are doing quite
well and kind of what their standard okay my second website is called Alamy
Alamy has over 155 million stock images the vectors videos and 360-degree
panoramic images you can be along one of the next photographs on Alamy so what I
read on many many many stock photography forums is that Alamy
used to be a little bit better than it isn't now
but it really just depends on your photos there are some photographers like
Ryan Harris that makes over $100,000 a year just on this one website and Jim
West who have made over seven hundred thousand dollars on Alarmy so it is
possible but there also are many many people that were with me $25 a month but
on their website they usually they pay a 40 percent royalty per photo which will
be effective starting February 2019 right now it's 50 percent but they are
going to lower to 40 percent in February 2019 my third website is EyeEm EyeEm seems
to be huge among the photographer community if you just scroll on Google
you can see I am is a site photographers are having a lot of real success with
you will always receive 50% of the revenue of your photo the amount of the
photo sales depends on the license purchase social license so for $20 per
photo and web licenses so from $50 not too shabby okay my next website is
Getty I'm sure you've heard of Getty it's
really really popular on average if Getty approves your submission your
content will be worth anywhere between $300 and $500 Getty will pay you 20 to
30% of royalty perfect photo sold so if your photo sells for $300 times 20% that
would be $60 about right $60 get a $60 yep $60 so if you sell three photos a
month times 60 of the twenty percent royalty on the photo you will be getting
one hundred and eighty dollars a month if you were to sell three so those are
goals I think our lot manageable okay my next website is one two three RF one two
three RF has millions of stock photos vectors video clips and music files at
some price low prices this website pays you upon the more photos you can
upload the more money you're gonna make so if you only have 250 photos and less
you're only gonna make about 30% per sale which is a little bit on the low
end but if you have a million photos or lots not a lot the photos for example
you can make up to 60% of royalty per photo which is actually quite a bit my
next website is I stock Istock Istock pays you fifteen to forty five percent
depending on the photo but they do offer up to 22 percent to 45 percent for
exclusivity so if you only want to work on this website you can have a little
bit of a higher rate for royalties my next website is the shutterstock
probably one of the ugly or platforms but Shuttertock is definitely
if not the most popular and well known site for royalty-free photos so
definitely have the traffic to their website you can earn up to $120 or image
download but on our website it does say that Shutterstock will initially pay you
twenty five cents every time your image is downloaded and then it raises to
thirty three cents then 36 then and then thirty eight cents per download but my
last website is dreamstime to guarantee the quality of the photos
on dreamstime they have a pretty thorough approval process but if you do
get approved you can earn twenty five to fifty percent of royalty and you can earn
up to sixty percent for exclusivity with their website if you choose to go
exclusive with a dreamstime they'll also pay you an extra twenty cents per
photo on top of the sixty percent royalty I think that's two thousand
dollars just for twenty cents of ten thousand
it's outright $10,000 20 cents each that's like $2,000 YUM I'll check my
bath later and that's not even including the 60% that they still it for so that
could be like really good if you have that many photos so that's all I have
for you guys today if you like this video let me borrow your thumb for
minutes and just click that like button and if you know any other websites that
pay a pretty good way to for our royalty free stock footage please let us know in
the comment box so we can share all this information and I will see you next week
bye
well you whispered something happened in my ear
just a sedative to make me disappear
