ShutterStock: Make Money with Images
Nowadays, people are turning to make money online with their words but sometimes it’s too hard for a person like me feel lazy to read on. What about turn the ‘words’ into ‘pictures’ or even make into a one minute short ‘video clip’? And that’s what I emphasize on “Easier to catch on what we watch than what we read”. If you don’t have a good writing skill but you wish to make money online also! No worries, just get a digital camera and one computer with you and sell the photo to one of the largest subscription based stock photo agency in the world, ShutterStock.com.
Why is that?
Web designers, magazine editors, and other graphic artists purchase monthly subscriptions to Shutterstock to download photos from their site. So Shutterstock is paying 25 cents every time of each of your uploaded images is downloaded. But now they even increase your juice for 30 cents per download once you reach 500$ in earnings.

But if you are not tat good in photograph taking, you can probably sign up to this program and refer to your friends or relatives who love to take photos or some graphic designers and animators would definitely love this program. Basically, signing up to ShutterStock has a lot to gain and every little to lose.Tips that I can give here is to wholly own the photo by yourself to prevent copyrighted images or logos. And once your photo has been accepted and sold to the third party, they will remove the watermark that imprinted on it. With the fact that unlimited photos can be uploaded and get approved within 48 hours.Currently, they have 3 referral programs which are refer photographers, photo buyers and footage submitters.
Refer to photographers - If a photographer receive $0.25 on their photo downloads, you will receive $0.03 on their downloads.
Refer to photo buyers - Make money by telling people about Shutterstock and earn 20% of all sales of their purchases.
Cautions
You may NOT use these links to purchase keywords in Google Adwords or Yahoo/Overture. Doing so will result in account termination.
This is what I like most by using their search box that allow people to search the keyword of images they desired with.
Refer to Footage Submitters - Earn a referral commission of 10% each time a footage clip you referred to us is sold.
