First of all i would like to say hello :))
This blog is about information how to sell you digital photos, illustrations, 3d renders, fractals and other images. Thanks to this blog you can earn money from your hobby. Sell your images all over the world!!
So lets begin
1. What is photoBank?
At the beginning a little bit of terminology... PhotoBank - it is a bank of images, which mediates between the authors of the images and their customers. He takes up the task of finding buyers and receiveing payments, which greatly simplifies the lives of photographers and illustrators.
2. Why it can be useful to you?
If you are a photographer, illustrator or 3D-designer, cooperating with the photobanks will allow you, at least, recoup your hobby or to earn a good salary increment. A professional approach and with some effort on your part, such cooperation could become a very lucrative and very interesting substantive work.
3. How much you will earn
Despite the low value of each sale, professional photostocker monthly salary is usually several thousand dollars. Beginners have the same opportunity in the next few months, pilots portfolio, which at a minimum, will recoup their hobby, but with some skills and earn a good monthly salary.
4. What do you need to become photostocker?
First of all, you need to understand that simply do not pay money anywhere, including photobank. Cooperation with photobanks - this is the same work as any other. The only difference is that it allows you to combine the creative component, a decent level of pay and the independence of the place of residence. Such a successful combination occurs infrequently.
But these are common, yet abstract phrases for you. I will tell you the best of the opportunities, knowledge and skills you will need in practice. Here, you need to work in the first place:
a) Computer literacy and computer to connect to the Internet.
And it is desirable to have a good access to the internet. Often you will need to upload large amounts of data to photobanks so it's best to take care of the convenience of the process. In extreme cases, the first time you can always use Internet cafes.
b) Basic knowledge of the English language.
It you need to make a brief description of their work, and pick them keywords. Description of work - it's just one short sentence (about 5 words). And the optimal number of keywords - from 30 to 50 pieces.
c) At least ten quality enough images. This work will need to exam, which is in registration in leading photobanks. It is desirable that your images were not less than 4+ megapixels (eg. 2000x 2000 pixels). Otherwise, you can not work with all photobanks. If your photos will depict people or other recognizable body parts of people (tattoos, body piercing, etc.), then you have to sign with them Model Release. This document should be a signature of photographer, model and one witness.
Well, and of course, you will need: a lot of desire, a bit of patience and at least a little bit of talent. :)
