Learn How To Turn Your Digital Photos Into Cash


The most important tool for this digital photo business is of course the digital camera. The quality of the images is down to the mega pixel capacity of the camera and if you want to avoid your photos being rejected by the stock photography sites, you will need at least a 5 mega pixel digital camera, and make sure it is set to the maximum resolution possible.

Never submit more than 50 photos at a time and be careful not to upload the same photo twice, as this will also lead to possible photo rejection and even to account closure. To avoid this happening, don't change the file name as your PC will point out any duplicates, and then when you are have a batch to upload change the file names accordingly. Windows has built in software for multiple file name changes, so it is just a question of a few clicks and won't be a time wasting exercise.

Keywords is basically the second most important factor after qualtiy, so a bit of research will certainly help increase your photo sales. Try using the Google Keyword Tool found here:- https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal#

You can also have a look at similar photos on Google Images, just to see what Keywords the front page images are using, but don't over do it or you will be seen as a spammer. Use between 6 and 10 keywords to get optimum results and this way your photos won't be rejected.

So as I said quality is the main determinating factor to avoid Photo rejection, so make sure that the images are not out of focus, and that the light balance is even. Also your photos may be too large in size, especially if you aiming at optimum quality, so my suggestion would be to use either Adobe Elements or Adobe Photoshop to reduce the sizing, as with this software the quality will not be affected. If you need to make an image larger, don't go over 5% as the quality will be reduced significantly.

Finally don't submit any image that has previously been rejected. It's better to take that shot again, but this time paying attention to the above guidelines, as this way your photos will hardly ever be rejected and your photos will make you a lot more money.
