Yes, that's true. Most movies are based on ancient stories. Learning new things by reading books, watching movies or travelling is nice. Life has so many things to teach us every single day.
Yeah, that's how it is. Have you watched any African movie before?. This is because most of the movies talks about our ancient stories.

I never plan to sell my photos. They will be paid very small but the site receives good pay from interested buyers. I think it is not good to sell our pictures. They are about our personal selves. What are they going to do with the photos?

I love Africa but I am not sure if I have ever watched any African movies before. It is nice to hear that most of the movies are about ancient stories. I will search for them on YouTube. I think that I will find a lot of African movies there.

There was a period I became interested to sell my landscapes photos I take with my mobile to Shutterstock. But after knowing some colleagues of mine faced rejections one after another and the refusal reason, I quitted the idea. There is a need of a professional photo equipment and such a stuff is very expensive. Photos taken with a mobile face great chances to be rejected. As I'm not a professional photographer yet working in my own atelier, better if the photographer counts on years of experience, I thought the risk being so much greater than the reward.

Good, I hope you are going to enjoy African movies. I have seen a few people from other continents enjoying them.

This is the reality of any business based on selling photos. You could for example find yourself one day a sponsor of a beauty product that you have never purchased in another country. The production companies of other countries will pay them hundreds of dollars to add to photoshop tricks while they will pay you 0.39 $ per photo which is a slave itself.

I think the chances to earn on these websites is less as our photos need to be perfect and only then others will be interested to buy it
He sells your photo to a company for 100 $ and pay you 1 $ that is how do they earn so this is not fair that giving 1 % to you in all cases like you are a beggar or something like that.

Joining websites that will be paying you such a little amount of money is not advisable. It is better you channel your energy to other things.

If we are having a passion for photography then we can earn with that and we just need to post unique photos on websites like shutter stock and the pay is fine too

I have heard mostly bad things about these and you only earn when someone actually buys your uploaded pics and you only get a small part of what a buyer pays to the website
