Post your photos to these sites and make money

Like to take pictures? Do you have some nice photographs? You could possibly make some money off of them.

If you are like me, you probably have a ton of digital photos from trips, events, and random other things.

There are many sites where you can upload your photos and start making money. These sites sell stock photos and are always looking for more to add to their database. Usually businesses and other professionals search these sites looking for images they can use on their web pages, reports, or other documents.

Here are a few: (I got this list from Site Point by J. Catone )

BigStockPhoto – 50 cents to $3.00/image . I recently signed up and have 22 pictures on their site. Someone bought the first one a few weeks ago. I got 50cents for the one photo and more people could end up downloading it as well. I don’t think there is a limit to how many times it can be downloaded or sold.

iStockPhoto –

20-40% for photos from $1 to $20 (for photos) – more if you offer them an exclusive on your work. Also sells videos, illustrations, flash, and audio. 3.5 million + photos.
