Keen at selling images with stock libraries? You can make some money to buy those extra lenses or accessories, but big bucks? It is almost a full time effort to really get the money in, captioning, key wording, and the frustrations when those who approved your images are not photographers but someone paid to do the job and images are approved more or less at their wimp and fancy (sorrry that's what I think). And most of the microstock agencies pay you next to nothing (25 cents per image? As most of the commission goes to the agencies) unless you can get into Alamy, Getty etc.

I started with microstock libraries for a few years now. Not much sales as I am just plain lazy to take the effort to caption, keyword, and upload them :(

Not discouraged? Here are some of the microstock agencies that are looking for photographers to contribute to their sites. For designers and art directors, these sites offer images as low as USD$1.
