Stock Photography Creates Employment

By Dan Feildman

The economy has taken a turn for the worst and the worst sector to be hit are the unemployed, who must be pulling their hair out as they say to themselves "What next?" and feeling like there is no way out this time. Well let's take a look at the newest form of employment that is set to stay for many years ton come. People today are looking at home based businesses as an alternative way out of the crisis by using a computer as their employment tool.

Not only that you can choose the type of business you are interested in, for example budding digital photographers can make money from their very own photos. Imagine that - being able to start a business from scratch and using one of you hobbies to set up your own online business. Digital photographers are receiving a regular salary from stock photography sites as well as receiving hundreds of dollars by selling photos to magazines and other media publications.

Stock photography is just a bunch of digital photos that can be licensed to sell. There are a whole range of businesses that turn to stock photography sites to get their photos that are used for their advertising campaigns such as publishers, magazines, advertising agencies, movie makers, web designers, and web masters. While these businesses are looking to reducing costs they have moved from paying large fees to professional photographers to purchasing online stock photography.

You will turn every photo you take into your "stock" and as the copyright holder you are entitled to license those images as often as you like. You will be able to sell on your digital photos over the internet with the help of stock agencies or microstock sites. Another idea would be to set up your own photography website, meaning you are able to approach publishers and other interested parties directly.

Microstock is quite similar to stock photography but the main differences are that microstock photography sites like to source their images through exclusive rights. They tend to work with a lot more digital photographers than a stock photography agency would do, and concentrate their efforts on selling millions of photos at low prices (about a dollar on average).

If you interested in earning money on the internet with your own digital camera, then all you need is a computer, a digital camera and an internet connection (not dial up). Read about this online home business opportunity below and you will see the 12 top tips on just how you can make money with your digital camera and will help you to get your internet business started successfully.
