Tips for Photographers | Selling Your Images Online

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.

HTBphotos Best Seller – White Clouds in Blue Sky – available for purchase on Dreamstime.com

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.

Bilingual Classes for Children – Monika Ruiz is an Atlanta Gem

Introducing HTB Website Design client: Atlanta based Artist and bilingual teacher Monika Ruiz.

Monika Ruiz

In case you haven’t heard of her, we are pleased to introduce Monika Ruiz, who provides a remarkable service to parents of young children in the Atlanta area. She is a successful fine-artist with a concentration in painting, has exhibited and sold her artwork around the world, and to top it all off, she is a mom herself. For over twenty years Monika has been teaching children, teenagers and adults how to develop their creative art skills through her Mundo Arte Art Time and Spanish is Fun! classes. 

Spanish Time

Spanish/English language teacher Ms. Monika is teaching her usual Fall semester classes designed for very young children – ages 3 to 8. She sometimes has children who are even younger than 3 years old.

Spanish Time Classes with Monika Ruiz are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00PM to 1:45PM at IPS Atlanta
Spanish Time Classes are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00PM to 1:45PM at IPS Atlanta

Spanish Time will focus on developing the child’s communication skills from the most basic concepts such as how conversation works, with questions and answers. For example, learning to ask questions like: “what’s your name?” and answering not just the name but: “my name is…” and including “what about you?” Learning to gather information about where someone comes from and study/play with the map to identify the countries of South America and where Spanish is commonly spoken. Spanish Time with Ms. Monika classes are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00 to 1:45 PM.

It’s not too late to register your child for Ms. Monika’s Spanish Time class, visit www.monikaruiz.com

Art Time

Monika Ruiz provides a caring creative environment for children to express themselves. She is an artist herself, and enjoys offering a painting and construction focused curriculum.

Art Time is a class where freedom, creativity, experimentation and encouragement meet. Children learn and develop the use of different artistic media techniques while exploring their own ideas according to their personalities, ages, interests and vision, without having to conform to any ideas imposed by adults. Mundo Arte Art Time Classes with Monika Ruiz are held Tuesdays or Fridays from 1:00-2:00 PM.

It’s not too late to register your child for Art Time with Monika Ruiz, visit www.monikaruiz.com

Mundo Arte Art Time Classes with Monika Ruiz are held Tuesdays or Fridays from 1:00-2:00 PM at IPS Atlanta.

Client Testimonial: UR Special Photo Restoration

So happy to be able to make a difference with one of my long-time clients… please read the testimonial from UR Special Design and UR Special Photo Restoration’s Karen Speer, regarding working with HTB Website Design on her website projects: 

“Katharina Notarianni of HTB Website Design hosts my TWO websites. I’m a graphic designer and a photo retoucher. I can design a website, however I have NO idea how to post them or maintain them properly. If I design a website for one of my clients I can ALWAYS count on Katharina to take care of THEM in the same fashion she does for me.  Changes? No problem. Need some input? No problem. 

Some of my clients request things that have nothing to do with web hosting, however are way over my realm of understanding. Again, I just refer them to Katharina. Also, she is such a caring, wonderful human being. VERY easy to work with.Often suggesting solutions to make a website more “user friendly”. 

My experiences with Katharina and her stellar levels of expertise have never been anything but absolutely positive. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

Most Very Sincerely, 

Karen Speer
