How do I sell my photos?
The easiest way to cash in with photography is microstock. You can sign-up online with one or more microstock agencies and upload your photos. Then wait for people to license your work and watch the funds get deposited into your bank account. Ooh, that sounds nice.
You can also sell your photos on your own photography website, and on products such as postcards, greeting cards and posters.
Additionally you can be a freelance photographer and sell your photos to photography magazines and postcard publishers. Me, I self-published 14 photography books.
By law, your photos automatically get copyright protection when you take them. But, for extra coverage, you can register your copyright online. You can submit a group of photos (any number, as long as they are copyrighted by the same person in the same year) for one fee of $35 (subject to change).

Hello Andrew,
Just trying to locate you. I think I’ve read everything you have in print on - other than your books. I’m a photographer, that during this crazy pandemic, I’m trying to build my own website in WORDPRESS/ELEMENTOR/WOO COMMERCE. I’ve decided against a third party - because they take such a high percentage - and sell my own. I would love any advice or wisdom. I have a pile of SD cards to upload all of my 50k images - before I place them in galleries on my website to sell. BUT I HAVE ONE BIG QUESTION??? Which software in the adobe cc would suggest I save them all to categorize etc...PHOTOSHOP CC OR ILLUSTRATOR? I’ve been doing this alone but just trying to tackle every new obstacle and self teach myself one day at a time. I would love any wisdom you have to impart in the realm? Thank you so very much and I hope to hear from you.
