I read a lot about making money selling photos on sites like iStock etc. Do people really make money off this sits? Have you ever made money off it?
That's why, whenever I choose an image, an amount to pay is displayed. How much do you think is the pay per picture? There might be certain criteria to follow or observe.

Let me tell my own experience
My more than 500 photos accepted in gettyimages 2 sold but I am not able to take out money. Two years 2 photos sell.
In one aspect it is wastage of time.

Thank you for sharing your experience, at least members here will be warned not to waste time and energy sending photos to a site that never cares to pay. They should be man enough.

I don't even like the idea since we will be selling the photos. When there are millions of photos to be sold then it will be hard to make enough sales with our photos

They are just luring people to submit but the act remains, they are just using people. They are like doing a monkey business.

I have never thought about this and I know that it will be a lucrative business. I may give it a trial because I have a lot of pictures

I tried an app called Pixie. I had uploaded many photos and redeemed the amount of money here, but did not receive it. In this situation, I deleted the app without having second thought.

No I didn't and it seems like you can't earn a lot plus I don't feel comfortable selling my own photos may be a good way for some people to make money, but it is not for me.

You may actually not sell the photos that you show inside. It may not even show you at all. You can just sell photos that you take. Maybe photos of flowers or anything else. What about that?

I have not made any money selling photos. Selling photos is one of the hardest ways to make money online. However, in the past, I have made money from sites where I was paid for uploading photos.

You know some people feel it is just very easy to go to platforms and sell your photos but it does not work like that. You photos need to be vety good before you can sell them off

I have not made any money from selling photos online. There is a lot of competition for selling photos online and only those who have good quality photos are able to sell them for money.

Thank you so much for sharing your nice thoughts on this. I won't anymore sell my photos taken in New Zealand. I might only be scammed by the site receiving my photos but no payment in return.

It is a very competitive and that is why you need to be better and always putting could have been because you tend to see some pictures that are very beautiful which may seem to be better than your own so you should try hard
