More stockphotos accepted on Picture Nation

3 more of my digital photographs have been accepted by Picture Nation today. I get so excited when one of my photographs gets deemed good enough. My total stockphoto portfolio on Picture Nation now stands at 19. Not bad for someone who only takes digital photographs as a hobby and has no training.

I think I have a long way to go before I start seeing any money for them. From what I can gather from various forums and photographers blogs a portfolio which contain 500+ should be getting about £50 to £100 a month. However it would depend on the photographic subject. I really need to crack the likes of Fotolia, 123rf, alamy, etc.

Selling Photographs Online

I have taken the advice of moneymagpie and I have been looking into selling photographs online. I've always enjoyed taking photos and had already invested in a nice camera last year so have quite a few photos to try and see if they like them. So last Wednesday I registered with Picture Nation and submitted nine photographs. It was really easy to register and the uploading of the photographs was pretty straight forward too. I had read on Picture Nations website that approval of photographs could take 3 weeks however since then I have already heard that 5 of the photos were not up to standard due to technical reasons (out of focus, poor contrast, etc) but today I heard that the one seen opposite has been accepted. I'm really excited about it.

You should be able to have a look at the accepted photo by clicking on the photograph. The minimum I could expect to receive if someone downloads my photo is 40p max is £30 (yeah hmm don't think the £30 is likely).
