I saw an article blurb in a magazine recently about making money from home. I’m just thinking of doing this in the summer or for a hobby, not for making a living- I’m a full time teacher. Anyway, I’ve always received lots of compliments on my photos and often people say I should sell my pictures, but I’d honestly never heard of it until I saw the article for myself.

Now I’m wondering how successful one can be when submitting her pictures to online stock photo sites. Obviously I’m aware that if no one likes the pictures they won’t sell, and that most valid sites actually screen the pictures for quality and originality before they even consider posting them to their sites. I’ve got a few here from the article, but I’d appreciate it if you’ve actually successfully submitted your pictures and made some money (anything is better than none!), if you could give me some tips or other reliable sites I could look at or ones to avoid.

Thanks!
