He found some photos on his hard drive – you’ll never guess what happened next….

I was mulling over the strange click teasers (if that is an acceptable phrase..) that you see on the internet to try to entice you to click through to the article, and came up with one of my own.

The answer, of course, is that I started selling them as stock photos, and creating a lot more as well, and I just noticed that I missed a major event – I passed the $100,000 earnings mark just a couple of months back – in March this year. I’m now just over $106,000.

selling digital photos online - how much can you make

Earnings each year from Stock Photography

What is interesting in the graph is how solid the growth is from year to year. I’m worried in the detail that my earnings per online file is dropping – ie it is harder to make the same amount of money each month, but taking one year with the next, things are still going onwards and upwards. I better get out and take some more photos!

    Congratulations Steven on your earnings! I would say with lots of people entering to industry and new cameras some of the files getting buried. You are right get out and take some photos.

    I have taken so much from your articles, your openness and clarity of your explanations and views have made your website one of my regular stops. Since we last communicated, I have got on and done a lot – and learnt more and more – does it ever end?
    Thank you…. and congratulations on your earnings mark –
    Best wishes, and P.S. thanks for the article on Fotolia – I shall start with them again – it was so depressing getting rejected there!

I'm always interested in what you think - please let me know!
