As a photographer we are facing many challenge this days. As the photographers community has increased, it looks like clients are vanishing. I'm pretty sure, many of you has noticed that the business is getting slow. Don't feel lonely, I have experienced that too. So I went to the internet and I found a reading about passive income.
Passive income is an income received on a regular basis, with little or no effort required to maintain it. So imagine planting a seed, but you don't need to care to much about it. That seed will be growing at it's own pace, and during the process, it will be making money for you. Sounds too good to be true, but that is the way passive income work.
"Here are the two most common and effective ways to earn money with passive income"
1. Selling your images around the world
Sounds like a big work to do, but is not! As a photographer you make A LOT of pictures, thousands of pictures in a year. Most of them are awesome, but the true is, that those pictures keep their lives in your hard disk or in a low res facebook album. But, What if you can earn money from those pictures by just uploading in the correct website? That is what a pro stockphoto site do for your business.
Here is my story. Some time ago, I uploaded two images is a stockphoto website, and for my surprise, those 2 files earn for me almost $100 this month. Maybe that's not too much, but if you think like a business person, you will find that earn $100, by DOING NOTHING is a really great deal.
I only regret, for not uploading more files at that time. There are many photographers making their lives on selling their works in stockphoto website. Maybe you don't want to do the same, but I'm pretty sure you will love to earn a few bucks monthly by just loading a couple of images.
