Do you have hundreds if not thousands of images on your computer or iPhone and are thinking of selling them online? One option is to set up your own photography website and sell your photos through your own online store. Another option is to delegate the sales and marketing activity to one of the many stock photo sites who will host your photos. One advantage of using one of the top 10 stock photos sites is visibility. Another advantage is they do the selling, giving you more time to take photos. In exchange they host your photos and pay you a royalty on any sales they make.
HTBphotos offers many stock images for business and personal use. One of our favorite themes is taking shots of the landscape as we travel across the United States. Interestingly, our best-selling landscape photos often feature blue skies with white clouds.
We selected Dreamstime after reviewing several of the stock photo sites. It’s appeal is that Dreamstime is one of the world’s largest, hosting over 117 million images, videos and illustrations, and growing every month. They are generous with their commissions and easy to work with. Just upload your images, add keywords and submit. Quality counts, so taking time to process your images pays off. HTBphotos sells our images exclusively through Dreamstime and already has over 4000 quality images available online.
To start selling on Dreamstime you will need to set up an account and submit sample photos. If your samples are approved, your photos will then be made available for sale, and you can receive around 25-50% royalty from each sale.
If instead you decided to feature or sell your photos through your own website and need help getting started, please contact us by filling out our online Contact Form, or by sending an email to us at info@healingtimebooks.com.
