You’ve got a camera, and a computer, but one thing you don’t have enough of is cash. With the right skills, you can earn money doing what you love — taking pictures. But there’s more than just the traditional career paths like wedding photography. Thanks to the internet, there are more options available to you than ever before, some are good for a bit of spending money whilst others can pave careers.
We’ve done all the brainstorming for you. Here are 5 ways to earn money as a photographer online.1. Sell Stock Photos
Stock photography grew quickly within the internet age, and it’s still a viable way to earn a little spending money. (After all, photography tends to be an expensive hobby). Stock photos are used by advertising agencies, websites, bloggers, publications and more. You can sell stock photos of pretty much any genre — to really gain some ground, try to shoot photos on subjects that aren’t yet well covered.
2. Sell an eBook
Another way to share your photo knowledge is to write and sell an eBook. Look to see what’s already out there before deciding on a subject. Platforms through Amazon and Barnes and Noble make it possible to get your title in popular online stores. 'How to' guides often do well, but you’re only limited by your imagination.3. Create a travel guide
Not into the 'how tos'? If you’ve got a lot of photos of one location, from either your travels or because you live there, you can put together a travel guide to sell as an eBook. Include photographs of all the must-see locations along with a few travel tips
4. Sell a printed coffee table style book
Got the photos but can’t do a lot of writing? Sell a coffee table style photo book featuring your own images. Blurb.com is an excellent platform for doing just that.
5. Sell prints
Selling online doesn’t mean just selling digital goods — you can sell prints too. You can create your own website or sell them through a service
