Now this is an interesting question I get from photographers who believe that this online digital photography business is only valid for US citizens.
Well I would like to not only dismiss such claims but also add that US citizens are actually the power that drives this Internet business, due to the huge amount of users and also to the high demand for digital photos of objects, animals, scenes and a whole bunch of items that just can't be found inside the USA.
Subject matter is all so important and a good way to see just how many quality photos are already available on the Internet is to do a "Google Search" on the main keyword and then scan the images. You will find a whole range of images in various sizes, but you may notice that the quality is often poor. These photos will not sell of course, but you will soon see the difference in the quality of the images found as well as the various sizing measures used on the uploaded images.
The actual jump from producing poor quality images to high selling images is not high at all, but simple mistakes need to be corrected in order to reach the final goal of being able to sell your quality images on the stock photography sites.
Here are some images that could be sold online as the subject matter is perfect yet the quality needs to be improved in some of the photos, but I am sure you will spot the quality photos very quickly. Thanks must be given to Jim Glen, who has so kindly given me his permission the publish his work.
The ideal photo is perfect when taken on location and not after having been edited with software like Photoshop or Elements. Although these programs are perfect for resizing and removing unwanted objects etc, the quality will never be as good if the photo had been taken correctly in the first place.
So once again anybody anywhere can sell photos online as long as they have a digital camera, a computer and an Internet connection. It is only a question of quality and interesting subject matter, and after that you only have to upload the photos to the stock photography sites and then just wait to watch the money rolling in.
