Hey /p/. I’m looking into trying to start getting into the stock photo industry to make some extra cash. Does anyone have any advice?

Don't. Get into food/corporate/event/product photography and make real money. Your snapshits aren't going to make you more than pennies if you put them on stock photo sites.

I too would also know how to do this. As far as I know you pick objects and scenes, make sure they're high def, have a lot of space, and post them.

I don't know how much you can make, because I'm not good enough to get accepted.

i don't know my asshole from a pile of shitting garbage but it seems to me like you could put your content through a sortof waterfall in order to get the most value from it. for example:

1) pitch the images to clients. of those that are rejected:
2) submit to a rights controlled stock site. of those that are rejected:
3) submit to a micro-stock photography site like shutterstock

the problem that i have with shutterstock is that you have to submit like 140309243 images, and you need to tag them and all that fucking garbage. i mean its cool i guess its kinda fun so why not etc

I would recommend not to. The stock photography market is pretty much dead, you earn pennies for every picture at most.

If you want to go into stock, focus on video. The lowest $ video sale I had has made me more money than 44 photo sales on Shutterstock combined

depending on what you shoot though, consider prints, books, postcards etc if you don't want to do weddings and events; though they have good money, they're tiring and (for me) far too formal.
