Almost everyone has a digital camera nowadays, and it's hard to go anywhere without one of those cameras in your face, only to have that picture end up on facebook the next day.  But with the high cost of cameras it's a great time to evaluate how you can make some money off of your camera to help get back some of the money you spent on it.  This is actually a fantastic time to get started making money with your photography.  The demand for pictures is very high and there is plenty of room for everyone.  With thousands of people making money off of photographs everyday you may wonder if this is just for professional photographers.  The truth of the matter is that even an amateur photographer or someone who just got his first digital camera can start making money with his camera.  You don't have to have expensive equipment or fancy flashes and lenses.  You just have to know how to properly operate your digital camera so you can get quality images.  Even very simple pictures can make you money, but the quality always has to be good. One of my favorite ways to make money with my digital camera is to use microstock photography websites.  These sites include: Istockphoto, Dreamstime, Fotolia, and a few others.  I have been making some decent money with these websites for a few months now.  You make money selling your images online because there are designers that get on these sites everyday looking to buy very specific pictures.  Say they need a picture of a puppy on a white background.  They do a keyword search and see a list of pictures of puppies on white backgrounds.  They think your picture is the one they need and they buy it and you get a commission.  The great thing about microstock photography is that you get a lot of exposure with your photos, and once you upload your images and put in keywords for each one, you can make residual income month after month from that one photo. Some of these sites are very picky with what pictures they will or will not accept, so be prepared to be rejected a few times in the beginning.  But let that motivate you to take pictures with even better quality.  Some things they do not want in the pictures are things like bluriness, noise (digital grain), bad composition, and over saturation.  The more you do it the more you will see what kind of pictures they are looking for.  Sometimes you can get ideas by looking at what pictures are already on the database but be sure not to steal someone else's idea.  Just let their ideas give you new ones. There are many ways you can make money from your digital camera.  You can even work at home and set your own hours, so it can be a great thing for a stay-at-home-mom, or just


someone that wants to make some extra money on the side.
