Kids: Make Money With A Camera
September 8, 2009
I just stumbled into this new idea last week, kids, how to make money with a camera. If you already have a digital camera and are computer savvy, then you’re half way there!
It might help too if you knew something about composing a shot to make money with a camera, but that’s not as necessary with this kind of photography. This is not nature photography or even formal photography, it’s more about single subject close-ups mostly.
It is not complicated process to learn how to make money with a camera. You will be taking and furnishing photos to websites called Stock Photo sites, where your work will be displayed for others to see.
People like ad agencies, graphic artists, web designers and others are constantly looking for material to complete design projects. Most find it cheaper and faster to come to stock photo sites for this material rather that do it themselves. If they happen to come across something you own and want to use it, they pay a fee to the website and you get paid a commission.
It can be easy to make money with a camera this way, you just have to abide by some basic rules first. Stock photo sites have strict guidelines about the content they will allow you to upload. They want quality shots, not junk or obscenities. You must study their rules carefully before you open an account.
Secondly you need to know that there are restrictions on the age of the account holder at most stock photo sites. Eighteen is the minimum, but if you could talk your Mom or Dad into signing up for the account, maybe it could be like a family project to make money with a camera.
A good idea before you sign up would be to study the site you think you want to join for several days. Become familiar with their Terms of Use regulations so you don’t violate anything they require and will let you attempt to make money with a camera.
You will also want to visit hundreds of photos on the site to try and understand what people are shooting to make money with a camera. Check the number of downloads and try to figure out why some are picked a lot and others not so much. It may give you a clue as to how to get started (i.e. what to shoot and how).
Individually the commissions paid seem too small to worry about, but you’ve got to think about the possibility of uploading photos that get purchased many, many times. Some shots get downloaded hundreds and thousands of times. That’s when you know you’ve learned how to make money with a camera!
