Some time ago I started selling photos online. What? Earn money selling photos?<\/strong> First of all, I am not a professional photographer and actually, only take pictures for myself and occasionally a small photo order. I also like to take photos a lot when I’m traveling. But something like that sells. Can I make money from my travel photography photos?

Sell \u200b\u200bphotos through professional online stock photo agencies<\/h3>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is the photographer’s own online shop.

Clear answer: it depends. Depending on the platform, different photos are always searched for. Basically, of course, the photo should say something. Because the buyer is looking for a photo, for example, to underline an advertising message or to illustrate an article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And which image agencies are there?<\/strong> There are large stock agencies such as Fotolia, Shutterstock, Dreamstime, 123rf and iStockphoto. Then there are agencies that specialize more in artistic or authentic photography. Examples include Photocase, twenty20.com (which has recently become part of the Envato network with a long range) or Stocksy. There are also some agencies that specialize exclusively in smartphone photography, such as Foap or clashot.
