It's a good idea to consider all the advice needed to take better pictures, but it is also important to find an online platform that gives you the best benefits from the sale of your images, from the best commissions for each sale, easy to manage your images, Free promotional tools (of course they should be optimized tools for sharing on facebook and twitter), networks of friends with common goals, they should allow to have a blog. But do not forget another tool to make money on that site as well just sell your photos. Must have a good referral system.These benefits and many more are offered in a new online platform www.salemythink.com.  And best of all free.I invite you to try.regardsAlonso Apodaca Hello, this is an excellent article.I think all readers of this article are interested in earning money to enjoy taking photographs.

There are 2 ways to approach the microstock business, as a one man (or woman) operation. 1: Focus on the highest earning agencies; forget the rest. Spend more time producing content, not uploading and processing. Make more money because you have more quality product. Or 2: upload less images to any place you possibly can collecting every cent available, and squeezing every dime out of your portfolio. You can try to do both, but you will burn yourself out. Or, you can try and find a healthy medium between the two. At this point I'm really probably only submitting to about 10 different photo agencies, regularly. Pixmac is a site I upload to through Fotolia, and I've never bothered with Deposit Photos, although I have heard some good things. I haven't heard enough to make me want to upload my portfolio 7000 images there just yet. Thanks for your comment, microstocksale. Here is one thing I’ve concluded in my 5 solid years of microstock.

Do you have any experience with Pixmac and DepositPhotos? Both seem to be nice, just wonder if they are driving some decent sales already? Thanks for the list.

I'm only joining new agencies that offer a hefty sign on bonus, otherwise it's not worth it to me. Yet another agency? hahaaha there’s just not enough time in the day.
