How to Make Money Selling Stock Photos (4 Steps)

Decide which photos you want to sell. Photos must be high-quality, crisp and clear, and cannot contain any trademarked items and logos. If using a model, she will need to sign a release form to allow you to sell the photo online (see the Resources section).
Create an account with one or more stock photography websites and upload your photos (see the Resources section). You will also need to have a PayPal account for any payments you may receive.
Choose the correct category for your photos so they can be found quickly by clients. Most clients know what they are looking for and will perform a search under a specific category.
Add several tags to your photos, so they can easily be found. With more tags you have a better chance of your photos being found in a search.
