That’s a lot of sites. Here are the top 10 questions about microstock.
If i sell my photos, how will i get the money?
Hi Wann:
If a microstock agency licenses your photos, they usually pay you by electronic transfer via PayPal or direct to your bank account.
Andrew
I have found a very funny picture of my father circa 1950 (obviously, someone else unknown took it). I want to publish it and have postcards, posters, and the like made from it. How do I do this, especially since I only own the picture but didn’t take it myself? Thank you.
