Websites that Sell Your Illustrations and Photos

These days many websites will sell your illustrations or photography, which makes it easier then ever to work from home. You may not become rich selling your photography or illustrations, but it does earn you extra money. In this article, I will discuss some of the sites that sell your illustrations and photography.

One of these websites is Zazzle. Zazzle allows the user to place their photos/illustrations on various products. These items include shirts, hats, ties, magnets, stamps, posters; etc. Thanks to the company's proprietary software, the process of creating your work is all done on Zazzle's website. Some competitors of Zazzle include Cafepress, Spreadshirt, 99dogs, Printmojo; etc.

These companies all operate in the same basic way that Zazzle does. Zazzle and these other companies will usually take a commission out of everything you sell, which means you pay nothing unless you sell an item. Since these companies eliminate most of the start up costs of running your own business, they are well worth the investment. You may not become rich from selling your inventory on these sites, but you will have a way to make some extra income.

Another example would be microphotography. Microphotography sites are similar to sites like Zazzle, but have one major difference. Instead of putting your photo or illustration on a poster or something, microphotography sites simply sell the digital image. You retain all rights to the image, and your images can earn constant money.

Of course, your image has to be in demand. If your image is not in demand then you will not make very much money. And like Zazzle, these microphotography sites will take a commission when one of your images sells. Also, you have to have a quality image. Many sites require that you at least use a four megapixel camera. And many other sites are even stricter.

One nice thing that I really like is the fact that many of these sites will sell your digital image with a nonexclusive license agreement. The nonexclusive license allows you to sell the same digital image on multiple sites. This way, you can increase your audience by putting the same image elsewhere. Of course, some companies give you a higher commission if you agree to only sell the image with them. But I prefer to have a wider audience.

As you can see, making money from your illustrations or photography has become much easier. You have several options for making money online, and it really can add up over time. You might even be able to turn it into your full time job. Who knows.
