"Not Again Chicken Little"

"Not Again Chicken Little"

Today I would like to share a quick tip, on one of the ways, I market and sell my digital photographs. It seems like digital photography has opened the door for anyone who has a desire to learn how to take high quality photographs. Learning photography is much easier than it has been in the past. New technology, especially in digital cameras and image editing software, has enabled anyone, with a strong desire to be a photographic artist, to achieve outstanding results. With this in mind we are seeing a multitude of people wanting to sell their best images, without any idea how to get started.

Marketing or selling anything requires a lot of work, and in most instances a substantial investment. That is where Red Bubble comes into play. I’ve recently found this fantastic website and started utilizing their service. Red Bubble is a great place to network with other photographers and artists. You can upload and sell your images on Red Bubble at no charge. Red Bubble gets a lot of traffic and this traffic could mean money in your pocket.But even more importantly you’ll get feedback from other members, exposure to some fantastic art work and a ton of positive exposure.

A word of caution, be sure you only submit your best work. Bed Bubble only accept hi quality, hi rez files, preferably around 50 or 60 meg files are prefered. So don’t shoot yourself in the foot and upload just any old shot. Make sure it’s your best work because other members will be viewing and commenting on your submissions. You don’t want to be embarrased, so be selective.

This is just one of the many resources available for making money money selling your digital photos, but is definitely a great place to start. Remember there no out of pocket expense, and free is a very good price.

In addition to Red Bubble I’ve also found Turn Your Photos Into Cash a very good tool forselling your digital photos online.This is an excellent course and will also make your efforts much easier.

Oh, by the way, Red Bubble also provideds you with a wide selection of free sales tools to help you promote and market your images to the public. Here is an example of one of the sales widgets I am currently using to promote my Red Bubble site submissions.

How To Sell Your Stock Photos And Not Be Rejected

April 29, 2009 Make Money Comments

The most important tool for this digital photo business is of course the digital camera. The quality of the images is down to the mega pixel capacity of the camera and if you want to avoid your photos being rejected by the stock photography sites, you will need at least a 5 mega pixel digital camera, and make sure it is set to the maximum resolution possible.

Never submit more than 50 photos at a time and be careful not to upload the same photo twice, as this will also lead to possible photo rejection and even to account closure. To avoid this happening, don’t change the file name as your PC will point out any duplicates, and then when you are have a batch to upload change the file names accordingly. Windows has built in software for multiple file name changes, so it is just a question of a few clicks and won’t be a time wasting exercise.

Keywords is basically the second most important factor after qualtiy, so a bit of research will certainly help increase your photo sales. Try using the Google Keyword Tool found here:- https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal#

You can also have a look at similar photos on Google Images, just to see what Keywords the front page images are using, but don’t over do it or you will be seen as a spammer. Use between 6 and 10 keywords to get optimum results and this way your photos won’t be rejected.

So as I said quality is the main determinating factor to avoid Photo rejection, so make sure that the images are not out of focus, and that the light balance is even. Also your photos may be too large in size, especially if you aiming at optimum quality, so my suggestion would be to use either Adobe Elements or Adobe Photoshop to reduce the sizing, as with this software the quality will not be affected. If you need to make an image larger, don’t go over 5% as the quality will be reduced significantly.

Finally don’t submit any image that has previously been rejected. It’s better to take that shot again, but this time paying attention to the above guidelines, as this way your photos will hardly ever be rejected and your photos will make you a lot more money. Click here and learn how you can make an extra $200 to $5000 selling digital photos online….
