  Only 1% of registered authors make good money on the stock. All the rest leave the stocks disappointed and tell everywhere that stocks are a scam and you won’t earn money there. Stocks are a full-time job. Stocks can make money. Stocks are not passive income, you have to work hard and produce a commercially valuable product. Let's look at the reasons why many stockers have low earnings. Reason one: laziness and inefficiency Loading 20 jobs into a portfolio and waiting for millions in fees is not a money-making strategy, it is a misunderstanding of the market. Stocks are a full-time job. You need to consistently and regularly upload new work to your portfolio. Don't sit around refreshing the ShutterStock page while waiting for sales. Go take pictures, draw, scan. Look at the sales statistics when you upload a new batch of works. Reason two: poor quality of work Quality in photography and illustration is subjective, so you may not always be able to adequately assess the level o...

Thousands of companies around the world use similar logos. But brand owners do not want their logo to look like someone else's, and they are ready to choose even an unaesthetic sign - as long as it is unique. Don't be afraid to use a logo that looks like another company's logo. 1. If the logo has a simple image, similarities with another logo cannot be avoided The number of simple figures is limited. An apple, a circle, a square, a heart, an arrow, a tick and other simple graphic signs have a recognizable shape. Despite the fact that designers try to interpret the signs in their own way, a circle drawn by five different people is still a circle. It will look like another circle - and there is nothing to worry about. The simpler the shape, the higher the chance that someone has already used it in a logo. This is fine. 2. There are thousands of companies around the world with similar logos. The Pepsi logo is similar to the Korean Air logo. The Ford logo is similar to the Carr...

When starting out, it is very difficult for a photographer to choose a niche. After all, there are a large number of directions. In each of them you want to try yourself and achieve success. True, not everything is so easy. For example, there is quite a lot of competition in wedding photography. Advertising photography requires special equipment and knowledge. If everything is not so easy, then in what direction should we move? Why not start photographing food? This is quite an interesting and promising direction. In addition, this is a fairly profitable niche. Food photographers can make money shooting for Instagram, for menu design and, of course, they have a separate place on photo stocks, where they sell their photos an infinite number of times. Do you want to shoot and earn as well? What is necessary for the development in this genre of photography?! You don't even need a lot of technology to get started. You can start with a standard kit lens. It comes with any camera. Subse...

The main problem of many Instagram bloggers or solo travelers is how to take a picture of yourself, and even beautifully? We are not currently considering the option of a selfie with a special stick. It is assumed that you have a serious camera, and you want to get a high-quality picture. How to take a picture of yourself? This question is asked by people who are going to travel alone and those who need content for their blog on a daily basis. Of course, going on a trip with friends is more fun and interesting, but you will not always be in the company - for a number of reasons. For example, friends do not have the funds, time or desire to travel. Or you just want to take a break from everyday life all alone. It's the same at home - don't call your friends every time you come up with an idea for a new shot. And we remind you that you can sell all high-quality pictures on photo stocks: So how do you take a photo of yourself? In the city, cafes, on a walk, you can, of course, ask...

You can find hundreds of stock images that directly or indirectly suggest that they can be used as a logo. At the same time, the official documentation of almost all stocks states that stock images cannot be used as logos from a legal point of view. Why, then, do the authors upload logos to stocks? Let's figure it out. When a stock officially states that an image purchased from a stock cannot be used as a logo, it means that such an image cannot be registered as a trade mark. Only a unique image can be a trademark. The trademark owner must own all rights to the mark. The owner of a trademark can prevent everyone else from using his mark. Images on stocks are mostly sold under a royalty-free license, which involves the use of the same image by different users for their own purposes. That is, when buying an image on stock, you cannot prevent other buyers of this image from using it, and you cannot prevent the author of the image from selling it and making similars. From this follows...

Hello, I'm a stoker and I love money! Yes exactly. Anyone who is involved in attracting referrals to photo stocks loves money. Believe me, no one wants to share knowledge, experience, and even more so to produce competitors for free. I'm not an exception. I really enjoy writing about how you can make money selling photos or illustrations. I love the reviews where people say that my articles and tips help them understand the business better (photo stocks are a business! get used to it) or simply inspire new photo stockers to be creative. It's really nice. I am not sorry to reveal the secrets of stocks and share my own observations and experiments. But it is doubly pleasant to receive from this not only pluses in karma, but also in the wallet. But seriously, the scheme is simple: a photographer or illustrator who registers on a photo stock using my links becomes my referral. If a referral sells a picture or a photo, the photostock pays not only to him, but also to me. At the ...

While the images uploaded to photobanks are being checked and slowly sold, you can start a related business. Distribute, or as it is fashionable to say - to diversify - income in different areas of activity. As my grandma and grandpa used to teach: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." But what is the best thing about being a photographer? Photo! How else, besides microstocks, can you make money with a camera? Here are some ways. Some of them may not be real, but any idea can lead to something worthwhile. 1. Wedding photographer Well, yes, the oldest form of earnings of Homo erectus with a camera. The competition is high and, although the return is also significant, physical and moral strength will also have to be put in fairly. 2. Kindergarten photographer Try to spud kindergartens and schools. The reality is that almost all institutions have lured photographers and it is quite difficult to infiltrate this area. Perhaps you should look for contact not through the admi...
