Something to Watch Out For Before we go any further though, there are some important points to consider before joining any site that promises to sell your images for you. The most important being, if your images are good enough to sell, then the site they are being sold from will do all of the work to market your images, they will attract buyers, they will take care of the financial side such as obtaining payment and delivering the photos to the client and they will maintain the web site. In short, they PAY YOU and only take a commission if your image sells. All you need to do is concentrate on what you do best which is to provide the images and upload them to web site.
	Avoid sites that ask you for a monthly fee or cash up front to sell images on your behalf. In my opinion this is nothing more than a clever marketing ploy that preys on your desire to sell your photos. In reality, you are being sold a limited amount of web space with limited features with very little marketing on your behalf. In fact, the majority of the marketing is aimed at attracting more photographers to buy more web space. Consequently sales are limited and the profits you make rarely cover your monthly fee. In addition, they have the nerve to take commission from you when an image does sell. Talk about having your cake and eating it! My advice is avoid sites like this.
Reputable Sites All of the sites listed here are reputable, well established sites and will not charge you a single penny to open an account with them, nor will they charge you a monthly fee. The will not place a limit on the amount of web space your images use and they only take a commission when your images sell. The profits are added to your account balance where they remain until you request a payment to be made to you. Your profits are yours! By the way, all of the information on this site is free too. I won't be asking for your email address and I won't be asking you to subscribe to a dodgy sounding weekly newsletter with the promise of how to become rich overnight etc. And I certainly will not ask you for payment for this information. Everything you need to know is here on the site, freely accessible. Use it if you really do want to make money selling your photographs or don't if you don't want to. it's up to you! Can you make a living from selling your photos? A lot of people choose to keep selling images at the hobby level maybe submitting 10 or 20 new photos per month which pays enough for new cameras, lenses, lights etc. But the answer is a definite YES! You can make a living. I'm not suggesting that you can make it overnight but with a little extra effort and a portfolio of good quality images, there has never been a better time for amateurs, hobbyists and enthusiasts to make a living from photography.
