You don't have to work for the biggest newspapers in the world or even have your own business as a wedding photographer to make your own money from your hobby.
The easiest, least stressful way to make money from photography is by selling your images to stock websites.
If you have never heard about a stock website then don't worry because I will explain everything you will need to know, so that by the time you have read this article you can start making money from the images lying around on your computer or digital camera today.
Stock photography involves taking a picture and leasing it out to other people who want to use it in their magazines, newspapers, websites or any other type of media and every time someone decides to download and use your photos you get paid a commission.
The range of photographs you can sell are endless and the photos I tend to sell the most are of everyday items like photo frames, broken glasses, kitchen appliances and even a wooden spoon.
These images make me around $300 a month, which isn't the most money in the world but for a few pictures that were on my hard drive already I certainly aren't going to complain.
You could already have images worth thousands of dollars, for this reason you should try and sell your images to the top stock photo agencies in the world.
These agencies such as Istockphoto, Shutter stock and even Getty images have the necessary tools to sell your images today.
