Companies that will pay You for Your Photos
Several companies will pay you for your photos. Here are a few options:
- Stock photography websites: Websites like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Getty Images allow you to upload and sell your photos. You can earn money whenever someone downloads or purchases your images.
- Photo contests: Participating in photography contests can help you win cash prizes and recognition for your work. Websites like ViewBug, National Geographic, and Time Out offer various photography contests throughout the year.
- Photography agencies: Some photography agencies work as intermediaries between photographers and clients who are looking for specific images. Examples include Alamy, iStock, and 500px.
- Fine art photography sales: If you specialize in fine art photography, you can sell your prints through platforms like Saatchi Art, Etsy, or even your own website.
Remember to carefully review and understand the terms and conditions of each platform before deciding to submit or sell your photos.
Books to Inspire
As for book clubs, there are many options available depending on your interests. Goodreads is a great platform to find book clubs with like-minded individuals. Oprah’s Book Club is also a popular choice with a diverse selection of books to choose from. I also like digit books, and audio books. Scrid is a good digital and auto book club.
