Let's share some ideas about producing income !

Wed Jun 8, 2005, 4:19 PM
:sun: Greetings to all photographers and artists at DA !
I wanted to share with you some good information and hope you will find it useful .
I always was sure that there is no way to produce any income with art over internet without paying for it some fee .
For past few month I was making research , visiting lots of sites , learning ,asking , trying etc and I found something that realy works and totaly free for artist and photographer !!! :-)

Here is all links to sites that I found so far with small review on each of them . My apologies for my broken english ;-)
Please if you know some other sites or ways to make money with your art or photography , share this info with me , let's add it to my collection !
Just write comment and all details , if you have referal links it is great , I will be glad to join some site using your referal if it is free for me :-)

I tried to sell my art as prints at different sites but or they charge you fee or it needs hard work on promoting your store such as CafePress where I have couple of gift stores with basic membership and can't sell a thing :-(
What is realy works it is royalty free stock with cheap price for bayers . They don't pay a lot to photographer or artist but hey it is money , drop by drop and it is all yours !

First site I joined was ShutterStock
The link is referal , please use it when you will join : [link]
They pay to photographer 20c per download . Their approval raiting realy good , so far I have about 70% of approval . You will start see income after you uploaded at least 100 images .

Another good site : [link]
This site is very picky about approval , but they tell you what they need , why they rejected your image etc .They pay 50c per download which is good . Waiting period of approval long , they work slow ( bad part of this agency ) , but try it , see maybe you will have great download raiting .

Also great site : [link] Good approval raiting and they also pay 50c per download . Love this one ! I have there not so many downloads as in ShutterStock but it still good because they pay more .
Some of my images rejected at ShutterStock was accepted here and are selling .

Love this one too : [link]
( in registration form please write my referrer ID - res12240 )
Their aproval raiting not so good , I think they are getting into their "picky" stage or maybe I was lucky at beginning . But their download raiting good and they pay 50c per download , if they like your stuff they will download more and more . I got already some popular images there and uploading more stuff .

One more tested by me which works : [link]
join and fill their photographer application on the right . It took about 10 days for me to get approval , so be patient . They pay better price than other agencies and still cheap for buyers .

There are few more sites , that more serious and pay realy good but so far I didn't sold nothing there , maybe it need more images or time .
[link] ( please enter my name Ruslana Stovner in artist referal )
They set the price from 45$ up to 199$ with 50/50 comission share .
[link]
You choose the prices for your own photographs , their comissions based on 80% and you can sell prints there too.

I am new to free stock , started it only about 3 month ago . Here is what I can advice :
1. Don't give up with rejected photos , submit them to another agencies ! So far all my images 100% was aproved but in different places , I have nothing to lose ,only my time for creating them and submiting them .
2.Learn how to write good keywords , it is very important and it takes time too .
3. Upload by small amounts like 10-20 per one batch .
4.Wait couple days and upload more , this way your name will come up more often and customers will see your work .
5.Learn what people like at each agency , what they need and what type of shots or designs or digital art work of yours they like the most . Create more of these !
