Most of the photographers we talked to who sell on stock marketplaces do it as their full-time job so that they are able to have thousands of photographs uploaded to each marketplace. It is a dedicated 40+ hours a week job and 80% of it is admin work – adding descriptions, keywords, etc. Because all the big platforms have accumulated millions of photographs over the years, whatever number of images you are going to sell there, even if all of them get accepted, it is only going to represent a tiny drop in the big ocean. Some photographers only start earning some decent amounts (US$200 and more per month) when they have 10,000+ photos on each site but of course, the income is not guaranteed and depends on the type of content you submit. CONCLUSION What I describe here is based purely on our conversations with image buyers and photographers and if your experience differs, I would be more than happy to hear it! Maybe you enjoyed enormous exposure due to Unsplash or maybe you are a fulltime stock photographer who earns solid income from just selling on stock libraries – If that’s you, get in touch and share your story, we are all up for celebrating the success stories of fellow photographers and hearing interesting perspectives. Ana is a co-founder of the Excio Photo Community and recently launched an Image Library where Excio members can now offer their work for sale. Together with their team and community they developed the FairShare Photography concept and issued industry-first PhotoTokens that revolutionise existing commission-based stock marketplace models so that photographers are rewarded fairly. Upload just 5 photos and you can earn your first PhotoToken – click here to learn more. To reach out to Ana with any questions, you can email her at ana@excio.io. 24 March 2022 NZPhotographer
