I have been a photographer since 1980 (when I was just 13), I have been
shooting stock photography for over 5 years and currently have some of
the top selling images in the world in my online libraries taken with
nothing more than a prosumer DSLR and lens.

I have seen them for sale:
* On billboards in Spain

Selling Stock Photography
* Within in-flight magazines
* Russian travel magazines

Selling Stock Photography
* American national press adverts

Selling Stock Photos
* UK national press

How to Sell Stock Photos
* ...and even taking up the entire wall in the entrance of one of my
local restaurants (that was a cool surprise)

How to Sell Stock Photos

An added benefit is that you can use these sales (when you see them) as
part of your portfolio...what better way to show off your work to a
potential client than in commercial print? I first learned how to sell
stock photos long before microstock was born...in the days of the
traditional photo libraries.

But the market is saturated...Wahhhh!!!

So is pretty much any market since the internet boom and to be honest,
the more people that think that, the better for me! Keeps the
competition away! Here's a little tip from my Business of Photography
book for those of you with bigger ba**s (excuse the French but whingers
annoy me)...

"Would you rather enter a dead market with nothing going on or would
you rather learn how to sell stock photos and enter a market that is
booming and growing rapidly with many people making money? Would you
rather take a small piece of a huge pie or take the whole pie with no
filling? It's common business sense 101".

The only people not making money from stock photography are those who
don't do it or those who give up.

Sure, you may not make a fortune or full time living from stock
alone...I don't, but I have made enough to pay our mortgage on a
property in Spain and more every month since my initial batch of
uploads 5-6 years ago, and there are quite a few who do make a healthy,
full time living from this...including people who were new to
photography just 5 years ago...

What would you do with a few hundred or maybe a few thousand extra
Dollars a month...every month, that comes in whether you keep working
or not?

The first batch of images that I uploaded more than 5 years ago are
still bringing in a solid, residual monthly income and the sales and
Dollars earned just keep growing even when up against 10 million other
images!!!

Here is a snapshot of my actual sales at Alamy over a 12 week period
last year:

Check out the images! Dumper trucks & building site, a flagpole and an
umbrella on a beach that sold for $439!

Now take a look at the following snapshot from one day of one of the 6
microstock accounts that I upload to (this is only my 3rd highest
earning account).I now earn more at microstock than previously at
Alamy.

Look at the date each image was accepted and now look at the earnings
from a single download...that amount would have been just .50c when I
started and it is now on autopilot...

As I write this, one customer has just bought 47 of my images at high
resolution in one go earning enough to buy a new lens! This industry
never fails to excite me and I have now sold tens of thousands of
images, plus the thousands of photographers I have introduced to
microstock and stock photography in general have collectively sold
close to half a million photos!!!

You see, the sooner you learn how to sell stock photos, the sooner your
images start to mature. The more they mature, the easier they are to
get found. The easier they get found, the more sales they make. The
more sales they make, the more $$$'s they sell for as the agencies
reward their popularity with a higher value.

How to Sell Stock Photos - What a great business!

It's like getting a pay rise every year as your images become more
valuable and there has never been a better time to get into shooting
and learning how to sell stock photos. Once you have a substantial
library of good selling images at all the agencies we recommend, those
images will still bring in an income long after you stop uploading...

In the beginning of microstock, photos sold for miniscule commissions
as the industry founds its footing among the masses. Now it has time to
mature and things have settled, the payout value is increasing and the
industry is still growing at a phenomenal rate. I am currently seeing a
real boom in sales despite the economic downturn with images selling
for 10 times what they used to make.

In fact, it is probably DUE to the downturn that people are looking to
turn to more affordable stock photography.

This is a really great business to be in as you can:
* Take it at your own pace and learn as you go
* You can upload as little or as many images as you like with no
penalty
* You are under no obligation to shoot a certain amount of images
* It is a great way to learn and improve your photography
* ...and it is fun!

So why am I showing you how to do this? Won't that put you directly in
competition with me?

Well, yes and no.

You see, in all honesty, some people who read this book will foolishly
give up at the first hurdle, some will slowly build a great library of
images and start to earn some very welcome extra cash each month and
others will simply fly at this.

I am already seeing great results from pupils who have attended our two
day workshop on how to sell stock photos and are receiving regular
sales. More than that, even if everyone that read this book went out
and excelled at this, there is still enough to go around for
everybody...this industry is huge!

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
