Did you know you can make money online by taking simple photos with your digital camera? Companies pay big bucks for the rights to use generic photographs on their website. You don't need to be a pro photographer. Just grab your digital camera, snap some shots and put them on the web. You can put the pictures on your own website or sell them directly to online companies.

What are companies looking for?

Pictures of tables, computers, furniture, nature, food, cities, clothes and office items are in high demand. Remember websites need clear, concise images of varying sizes. Quality, rich photography is so important to the major online sites that they are always looking for nice, crisp original images to complement text.

Why are they paying top dollar?

Because they don't have photos to use themselves. Every year companies literally dump hundreds of thousands in cash to online stock photo companies to use the rights to their photos.

Why should I take photos for money?

This is a great way to earn side money on the web. Think about it, just take your digital camera with you on some trips. Upload the files and then start making money from your pictures. You can even build your own portfolio and brand name around it. You already have a camera and computer so now just sign up for a free website on the Internet and start publishing.
