Budding photographers can upload their digital photos to photo bank websites and earn royalties for each one sold. Ten per cent of the sale price will go to the website, and you'll probably need to advertise elsewhere to drum up demand. However, if you have an interest in niche photography subjects, or take particularly beautiful shots, you could make good money.

How much? You decide the retail price of your photos at Photobox, giving you the freedom to adjust the profit margin in line with different print sizes.

I really should start mainly cos the photos that ive taken I print them off in A4 and sell them for charity and all the pics get sold within the first few minutes like hot cakes (not bragging btw I hated the pics I chose and it still baffles me why people would buy such....)

I meant to pipe up earlier, but it's been a bit fraught around the Bat Cave for a few days.

There's a link in my sig to our little Focal Point gallery venture. We're always keen for new recruits, so if you think we'd like your piccies, drop us a line and we'll take a look-see.

I did this many, many months ago and have heard nothing back. I presume my photos don’t cut the mustard. It would have been nice to heave heard something either way, though.

Just looking at the photos thread, have any of you considered selling your photos online on one of those stock photo sites?

I know there's all sorts of considerations to be made (what sort of photos are deemed worthy, should I just upload this one to Flickr etc ), but I figure if you're spending the time doing something you enjoy anyway, even getting paid small amounts for it would be a bonus

Did you not receive the email I sent last Thursday?

We definitely want you to join in. Perhaps I had the wrong email address?

I’d like to sign up.

I did spot the wrong photog credit on a pic mind you...
