Sell Your Photos on the Internet
Many writers enjoy taking photographs as well - and there is no doubt that modern digital cameras have made the task of taking good photos a lot easier.
If that applies to you, did you know that you may be able to sell your best photos separately via the Internet? ShutterPoint at www.shutterpoint.com is a leading website in this field.
Any photographer is welcome to join ShutterPoint for a modest membership fee ($12 for six months). You can then upload your pictures to the site for would-be buyers to browse. You set your own fee for each photograph, and when a buyer purchases you get 85% of the sale amount. ShutterPoint claim that this is the highest rate on the Internet - other websites typically charge 50% commission, compared with the modest 15% taken by ShutterPoint.
You don't have to be a professional photographer to join ShutterPoint (though many members are), but you should have at least a basic knowledge of photographic principles. ShutterPoint helpfully provide a quiz where you can test your knowledge of photography and see whether this is enough to indicate that you could benefit by becoming a member. There is no minimum pass mark - the test is simply provided for guidance.
I'm no expert in photography, but I took the test myself and got 10/13. The website told me: "Your results are very good. With this level of basic photography knowledge, it is no doubt that you can make very good photos that can deserve attention of photo buyers. While there is still some room to improve your skills, you are definitely well qualified to become a member of ShutterPoint."
Fair enough. I've signed up as a member and will be uploading some of my best photos soon. I'll let you know in due course how I get on!
