Ever Sold a Photograph? How Much you made??
It’s well known fact that recession proof niche in blogging world is Photography niche. It’s one of the top growing niches on the web now. Photographers started making money by sharing and selling their creativity online. There are many old & well established platforms out there like Flickr, iStockphoto, etc.. But I believe that change is always good when you get benefit from that.
60%, Top share for Photographers
Snapixel is a new platform, which combines the concepts behind sites such as Flickr and iStockphoto to make it easier to sell and share photos. The major factor that made Snapixel to stand on top of this crowd is the percentage to photographers. Snapixel pays 60% to the photographer. No other traditional platforms are anywhere nearer to this percentage.
5GB Free Storage
Snapixel was created by 3 photographers, who know in & out of photography and toughness in that. Openstock is one of the unique features it has got; anyone can join for free and host their Images in the allotted 5GB free space.
Life made easy Tools
There are top tools out there like Bulk upload tools, Geo-tagging & mapping, Website embedded codes, Drag & Drop organizing, Photo managing & sharing tools, etc.. To make the photographer life easy.

Inspiration Behind Snapixel
Chief Operations Officer and co-founder, Ivan Wong shot some photos of a mountain biking event to post online for other mountain bikers to enjoy and never intended to sell the photos. Then a marketing agency (after searching other stock houses and not finding what they were looking for) contacted Ivan directly after seeing some of his mountain bike photos online. They asked Ivan for a specific shot of a mountain bike rider.
So, Ivan searched his personal library of photos and submitted a set of photos for them to Review. After several rounds of negotiating a price, he was offered a fair price of $300 for the rights to the image to be used for an advertising campaign in a national mountain bike magazine. Ivan made $300 on a photo he never even thought about selling
Hope you found it useful. Ever sold an photograph? Share with us! Happy Blogging!!
This actually looks really interesting and I wish Flickr would implement something similar.
Great you found it useful. Snapixel will over take of all the existing old ones i guess.
Are you sure? I think it will be really difficult to outrank Flickr and iStochPhoto simply because they are so big already.
Yes its very difficult. But in the long run its always quite possible and easy.
Hi LAX,
Sorry for off-topic Comment. Since, few weeks the pageview of my website has decreased drastically and the bounce rate has also increased upto 60%. I see you link your post with old posts using keyword. Are you using any plugin for that? I usually write the related post title and link it. Any suggestion regarding this is highly appreciated.
Just BM Keyword link plugin. And specify your keywords and links to them.
hai Lax, hmm I have tried to make some money with photography but the term and condition is to much, for example, you need to get permission (that is nor a problem to me)if you take a model the major problem is they have specific the type of picture that they want hmm that is a big problem for me.
but you know what I will check this site, I hope it can give me some money.. huhu (I need some money to pay extend my domain.
Hmmm i don’t know much about photography…But you’re true that those problems will come when you take celebrities photos.
Hope you will get some good money from Snapixel. Let us know that, how much
Hey! I didn’t know about the thing that we can make money by submitting photographs on the internet.Let me have a try to Snapixel! Thanks Lax.
Great you got new way to make money. Share with us your results
I have been selling pictures and vectors on Fotolia and Dreamstime. But not made much money yet… After reading your post, I guess Snapixel would be helpful for me. Thanks for sharing
Yes i know that Fotolia is widely used one. But only the known hard fact is that they will give very less % to photographers.
Hope you get good % here..
i had never sold a picture online
now i will give a try on selling them
Even i never sold
Even came to know this concept only after seeing Snapixel news in Prweb.
Too bad. I’m not photogenic. Whatever it is, this is really great stuff
Thanks for your first comments here dude…
Over the previous 10 years I made a tremendous amount of money selling photos as well as memberships to view photos.
There was a time that was a lucrative business, sadly that time has mostly past.
So ur not making that business now? Great to hear that you made tremendous money from this business.
Please teach us na
I knew about sites who buy photographs but I think they paid only few cents.
But this is awesome. If I win the contest I get lot of money. I need to buy a good Digital Camera or may be borrow from my friend.
Yes they paid very less amount, read that its only 20%. This Snapixel’s 60% made me to think about this
great impressive post, thanks
Thanks for your comments dude..!
I actually did sell a photo for a whole 5 cents once. The site where I made the sale has since expired. I use Flickr but I believe it to be very hard to make a sale there as everyone looks for free photos. I may have to give Snappixel a go.
Ohh great that you experienced in selling photos. Just try Snapixel once
Hope you’ll earn more money..!
Wow! very inspirational. I should sell my photos too. lol…
But anyway, I really love photos especially nature scenery that amazed me so much… No one don’t love to earn money from his/her hobby, right?
