Microstock Companies for Photography and Illustrations

There are many websites that can sell your images. The current top sites are Shutterstock with a huge base of subscribers and a high royalty earner for many artists. The next is Dreamstime which offers increased royalty earnings on specific images the more they download. Fotolia is the next highest earning site with a fast approval rate for vectors and a great interface for submitting images.

The most important thing to learn is how to use meta tags to embed keywords in your files. This makes submitting your work to many sites much simpler than keywording the same images over and over again. Each microstock site will read your meta tags automatically and you just select a category and submit.

Good luck in your microstock adventure!
