In the old days, it was difficulty for a common person to make money as a photographer, as it is a long way to become a professional photographer and got accepted by those traditional stock photography agencies. However, over the latest years, a smart group of people have been making a serious residual income through uploading their digital photography to the microstock sites.

Anyone (not only professional photographers) can apply to become a photographer on those microstock sites. You will become one of their members quickly, although some of them may need you to pass a very simple test or ask you to upload several photos first for their review.

Then you can upload your photographs to the microstock websites and choose some keywords for your photos. Each photograph you upload to the website will be reviewed before you can sell it. Your photos may be rejected by some reasons. This is inevitable even you are very good at photography.

After your photographs are accepted by the website, they are finally ready to be sold. How much money you can make from microstock photography depends on many different factors. And will have a new post to explain this issue.
