Now this is an interesting question I get from photographers who believe that this online digital photography business is only valid for US citizens.
Well I would like to not only dismiss such claims but also add that US citizens are actually the power that drives this Internet business, due to the huge amount of users and also to the high demand for digital photos of objects, animals, scenes and a whole bunch of items that just can't be found inside the USA.
Google Images is a perfect place to view the variety of subjects that are being photographed and sold via the Internet. However, while you may be seeing the variety, you certainly need to pay attention to the quality as most of the photos found here would not typically be accepted by a Stock Photography site simply because the quality is unacceptable. By visiting stock photography sites and comparing you will see what I mean by quality, also pay particular attention to which sizes are available to upload, this is important to know prior to submitting your image as you will want to make sure you have proper sizes. An important thing to note, try to not resize images as you will be losing quality each time you do.
The actual jump from producing poor quality images to high selling images is not high at all, but simple mistakes need to be corrected in order to reach the final goal of being able to sell your quality images on the stock photography sites.
The ideal photo is perfect when taken on location and not after having been edited with software like Photoshop or Elements. Although these programs are perfect for resizing and removing unwanted objects etc, the quality will never be as good if the photo had been taken correctly in the first place.
The best thing about selling your photographs online is that it can be done by anyone, anywhere. All you need to get started is an interest in photography, a digital camera, a computer and an Internet connection. If you can take quality photos of interesting subjects you will soon be able to sit back and what your bank account increase.
