Hi
Did you know it's possible to earn £600 a week
selling your digital snaps to online libraries?
No, nor did I . . until very recently!
Once again I have to thank my ever-lovely (and
incredibly business savvy) wife Heloise for
uncovering this one.
You see, as she was searching for a suitable image
we needed for a new website, she stumbled across
an online digital photo library where you could
pick up photos for as little as £1 a pop, rather than
the usual £250+ charge we were used to paying for
republishing rights.
What's more, you could see how many times the
photo had been downloaded. We were amazed -
300, 500, sometime more than a 1,000 downloads
at £1 a time within the space of a couple of
months.
And here's the great money-making twist . . .
ANYONE can submit their photographs and earn a
commission every time one is downloaded. In fact
some of the photographs with the most downloads
were made by amateurs - certainly not the kind of
super slick pro shots you'd expect. Even if you are
only taking a small % of that fee, then you can see
the raw money-making potential.
After some digging around I realised there was a
very real (but completely overlooked) opportunity
to make good money from simple, day-to-day
photographs - even if you're only experience of
photography is taking a few pictures on holiday!

Let me give you a little background on this
opportunity so you can see for yourself how
compelling an idea it is . . .
A digital photo library is a website where amateur
and professional photographers can upload their
pictures, putting them in the 'shop window'.
Photo buyers - like newspapers, magazines,
website owners, postcard manufacturers and other
publishers - can come and browse and download
the pics they want.
You get paid for your work, and the site gets a
commission for linking you up.
The profit possibilities are endless! As these new
types of digital photo libraries operate over the
Internet, you have access to buyers worldwide.
You earn a fee every time a buyer downloads your
photo. With a good photograph that could be
thousands of times over the years!
And, better still, it's all automated. Once your
photo is uploaded, it works for you day and night,
making you money while you do other things.

So what do you need to get started?
Not very much at all to be honest, apart from a bit
of time and application.
Of course, you'll need a digital camera. But
more or less any digital camera will do, though it's
sensible to get the best one you can afford. Most
photo libraries only take photos from 2 megapixel
cameras and above - pretty basic these days. If
you don't already have one I've seen some great
used bargains on eBay, starting from around £35!
How much could you make?
It all depends on a few key things: How
many photos you have, how much they sell for
and how much the site you sell them on charges
as a selling fee.
So let's do a back-of-an-envelope calculation
based upon conservative figures . . .
Say you had 120 photos on several different sites...
each of them working for you day and night...
earning an average of £10 a week EACH. You get
at least half of that (in many cases much more. I
know one library that only charges a 15%
commission.)
Just think about it for a moment - that's a
passive income of £600 a week - rolling in while
you work your day job, go on holiday, potter in the
garden... even while you sleep at night.
I won't patronise you by saying what you could
do with an extra £31,200 a year in your bank
account. I'm sure you know full well what that
extra cash would go towards.
I'll be totally honest here. To start with, you
might just make £20 to £100 here and there - but
remember, this is residual automatic income and
costs you zilch once you have taken and uploaded
the picture! And over time, as you add more snaps
to your online portfolio, your commissions can
really start to snowball.
And the beauty is, a good picture will make you
money for years to come.
Of course there is more to it, like knowing what
kind of picture to take and how to list it on the
right sites so that people can find it.
And that's why I've investigated this area and
come up with what I think it is the definitive step
by step guide to getting started. Take a look here

As a relatively new and unknown business
opportunity it's impossible to say exactly how it
will pan out. But when you think that this blueprint
is in no way a 'proper job'. First and foremost it's
an enjoyable sideline. And one where, after you've
done the basic legwork, you can sit back and watch
the cash flowing in. On that basis it's potentially
very lucrative indeed.
I don't know about you. But I think it's suddenly
time to brush up on my photography skills after
all!
