How to earn by selling photos is one thing that crossed my mind when I started capturing photos of nature and my friends. I did some research and came up with the top ways you can earn from the photos you take.
Before moving further I want to share the story of well known motivational speaker Sandeep Maheshwari who has 14.1 million subscribers on youtube but he has not chosen adsense program. He is known by motivatinal sessions but his business is selling photos on Imagebazar.
What is image bazar?
It is one of the largest photo gallery of the world, he sells the photos online and earns millions from it.

Sell your images to local and international businesses:
If you are a good photographer and believe in yourself, just visit some local brand’s office and meet marketing person and sell them at cheap so that he would choose you over international providers.
On the other hand you can reach international clients through social media fb or linkedin or you can use freelancing webs like fiverr and upwork etc.
Start your own website like imagebazaar:
Everyone wants to start their own business but lacks confidence and wait for the right time. If you have camera, just purchase domain and hosting and make website on wordpress.
You can reach Marketist for web design in as low as pkr 4999 or $35.
Start uploading and get clients.
Sell your images to bloggers or magizines and newspapers:
Bloggers are buying images on daily basis and low rates is one thing they prefer. So start selling to bloggers and magizines owners.
