Dogs are great animals. Everyone has to love dogs and take pictures of them. But did you realize that you could sell dog photos online and make money doing it? If you have a dog and you have a digital camera, why aren’t you making money taking photos of your dog?
You may be wondering how you can sell dog photos online and the answer is through photo microsites. These are websites where they allow anyone to submit photos and earn money from them. Of course, your photo must be accepted and of good quality. But once it’s on the website, anyone can download it and for every download you earn some money.
Many people on the Internet need pictures of dogs for their websites, advertisements, etc. You can submit a photo of a dog and have it end up on a website one day! Or it could even end up in magazine ads. People use these stock photos because they don’t have the time or the skills to go out and take quality photos for whatever they’re doing.
Picture quality
You must have photos that are of good quality. There is no need to go out and pay money to some photography school or get a degree in photography, but if you know how to take better photos, your photos will be much more desirable.
As with posing models, dogs must be posed correctly. You want to make sure your dog looks authentic and relaxed. The lighting must also be of good quality. Unless you have a large studio, shooting outdoors in bright sunlight is the best option. Don’t shoot at 12:00 pm because the sun will be directly overhead and will create poor lighting. Try early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
Taking a single photo of your dog can earn you a bit of money, but you’ll want to take more than one. Try to get photos of all your dogs and even neighboring dogs. Create a collection of dog photos of all the dogs of your friends and family. Ask them for the rights to the photos, and in return, you will give them copies of the photos you take. Making money selling dog photos online is real and many people are doing it and already making a lot of money.
