Hi!
Do you all have any recommendations for stock photo websites?I am looking to start sell some of my better pictures but can’t make any sense of it.
Thanks.
Hi Eliana,
Probably one of the sites I would recommend would be Fotolia (now Adobe Stock). They are relatively easy to start with, and have a large client base. The key to making money with stock is to upload a lot, and to upload frequently (something I am not good at), but even if you have a portfolio of 20-30 images uploaded, you should start to see some money coming in from your images. I’ve tried 6-7 different stock sites, and Fotolia is the place I’ve seen the most purchase/search activity.
You can sign up here:

A couple other places to consider would be:
1. IstockPhoto (they have a large client base, although since their merge with GettyImages, they’re a little harder to sign up with)
2. 123RF (easy to start with, not the best market)
3. BigStock (easy to start with, not the best market)
4. Dreamstime (easy to start with, not the best market)Hope that helps!
GregI agree @greghahner. I use Fotolia. I have about 100 photos (my goal is 1,000! 🙂 )on there and I’m starting to make more regular sales. I would also recommend Lightstock. I was so excited when I found it because it is a Christian stock site. Not that I agree with all the photos on there, but it’s good to be part of another group of Christian photographers. I haven’t made a lot of sales on there yet, but I’ve only been doing it for a few months, so I’d definitely recommend you check it out, @elianafranzenburg! 🙂
I’ve also heard that ShutterStock is really good, but I’ve never tried it!

Same here, Lightstock and Adobe Stock!
