Another way to earn passive income is through selling photos online. One of the best things about this is that you might not need to be a professional photographer. You can simply get a phone with a good camera and snap things at random, then sell them on sites like 500px and the likes. Though it would be best to pick up some photo editing skills to help improve sales.

Someone could do a bad inspect of these photos and then show you in a bad situation regardless of the reward given unless this is a photo of nature and not your photo or a human photo to avoid any kind of inconvenience.

Majority of these sites usually make use of PayPal as their payment option, this is the reason why most of us here in Nigeria cannot earn much on this site.
If they pay with PayPal email then it is possible to deal with an exchanger for payment received. If they require you to connect your PayPal account to get paid then it differs.

The issue here is that we can create a PayPal account but we cannot receive money with it. I think the only thing we can do with a PayPal account here is to send and there are also other restrictions.
When you watch videos on YouTube about online earning then you'll feel that how it's easy to earn. But reality is different, earning and getting paid is two different things. Two years before my 4 photos were sold on Getty images, but their payout thershold is high so although I earned but didn't get paid

Definitely, the advantage and difference would always be there. Having photography skills is also lucrative skill to have, especially if you are also good in editing as well.

Yes the pictures needs to be of very good quality, most of these pictures are used by professionals for various jobs, so having one with good quality make it easier for them to use.
Sometimes I ask myself if those photos are really been use for something good well I can't sell my personal photos here I will go to the museum and take photos then sell it for them I only know of photobiket and i-stock photo but I never use one of them before

Well it depends. Like myself I am a graphic designer, so I usually download stock photos for some of my designs. And I doubt these pictures can really be used for anything illegal because there are so many other persons using it as well.
There are many people who also create pictures of Non-living things and they tend to make a good sum of money off that. This may require you to have excellent skills. you may need to have knowledge about graphic designing and you could also earn NFTs by working as a great graphic designer.
To be honest, I had never done this before. I have never sold my images online because I am unsure whether photo websites accept submissions from Tier 3 nations. The majority of them exclusively like those from top-tier countries.
I have not venture into this business before I learnt that it's lucrative but actually you will need a photo with good resolution, however some of the website that offer this service which a friend introduced to me had stop paying I will see if I can chose some other platform that accept photo selling
