A quick google search would probably give you tons of websites to sell stock photos and illustrations from.
How I started to sell Stock photos and illustrations and why you should too.
It all started way back around 12 years ago when once i was sitting in front of my computer clueless and projects less . Nothing to work on and no idea to where to get work from.
(THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY IS REALLY BORING, BUT YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.)
That’s when i started to think backward , by backward I mean i wondered from where all the cool illustrations and graphics coming from that we used to buy for our projects. Not aware that I could too sell stock photos online as a side hustle and bring in some extra income. At that time I was working in a telecom company and my job was to create multimedia sms . I would score the internet looking for inspiration and graphics to use . But to tell you the truth the job was 9-5 and not much fun.
As i wondered from where these graphics coming from I now looked at the source sites with a different eye . As I looked i found a little button saying Contributor / Sell Stock Photos. Now what was that I had no idea. I clicked on that and read it through and signed up and after that soon my graphic design profession took another turn.
I was soon crazily creating illustrations and uploading them to multiple contributing website. Since photography is not my jam and I know I am good at Adobe illustrator I knew that I could also make money online if I start and sell stock illustrations. The day that i earned my first $.30 was such an encouraging day. I was “Freelancing” earning for myself !. How satisfying this $.30 was ! I was hooked!.
And then I started looking further for more sites to contribute my stock illustrations and sell photos online !. And pretty soon my portfolio was up at 5 websites and i was waiting for my first image sale and I was earning form myself. It started from $.30 from each image sale and now the whole process has grown into my very own website for graphics you can check out my custom cliparts for sale here
The good that came out of all this is a satisfaction of being ones own boss and alongside client based custom illustration jobs.
I would like to share a few websites that I have contributed in the past and hope that it might open doors for opportunity for someone else as well. If you are wondering how I market my portfolio of images on sale through these websites you might want to look at how I promote it using Pinterest on autopilot. I have now been selling stock photos for a while now , and have also successfully used my own creations to create products and sell digital products and photos online.
Simply put, stock imagery means any art that already exists and is ready to use. A stock agency curates a library of images on large number of subjects and licenses those images to customers. People often refer to “stock photography,” but “stock” can refer to any type of visual content, including photos, videos, or illustrations.
below are some of the stock sites that i have personally used in the past during my obsession with stock image contribution. These are in order of revenue that i generated and still generate from them.
You can sell stock photos , Vector illustrations and various design elements from this website. After you apply as a contributor you are provided an ftp area as well as upload interface.
If you are uploading vector files then you need to save them as EPS files . I have shared a post about how to prepare file as an eps for submission a while back . That can be accessed here.
Shutterstock has been one of my favs when i started uploading work. The uploading process used to be a bit simpler but still it is not too techy. Once you are on the site the Become a contributor button is on the top right. Shutterstock sell royalty-free images, footage, vectors and illustrations. You can apply to be a contributor here.
For me shutterstock had been a favorite one because they don’t pressure you into exclusively distributing images or video . Your content is yours to control to maximize your selling opportunities and profit.
Why you wont find my portfolio on istock ? it is simply because you have to be an exclusive with them to start selling. And if you are an exclusive then in my opinion going to the road of stock imagery and earning from a multiple streams becomes a bit difficult. But hands down istock is one of the best stock photo website out there. Though it is a bit difficult to be accepted to sell stock photos but once you get in chances are you will do good!
I love this place, if you are ready to bundle your creations and are ready to create some awesome resources for designers and artists then you might want to consider joining creative Market
Although I have a very small portfolio there but I do continue to get commission every month, maybe if I get serious posting new content I will be able to increase monthly revenue coming from this website. It has a lot of potential.
Creative market is more of a full content resource website , from where you can take a step further and start selling templates , themes , fonts and other resources too. I love the simplicity of creative market and I see a great potential in selling through creative market BUT if you package your content well.
Graphic river has been in the industry for a while now and has proved to be a good resource for graphics. I personally like to buy through creative market when it comes to themes resources and fonts. But Graphic river is a good competition and has turned a lot of sales for me over the years. My portfolio is really really very small over there but still I get a small chunk of money now and then.
Update:Fotolia recently closed and partnered up with Adobe Stock Contributor and my portfolio was automatically shifted there
I currently plan to take my graphics down from fotolia , reason you ask? at times fotolia used to bring sales that ranged from $5-$10 each graphics . But lately I have noticed that their royalty has fallen down to $0.30 , just rechecked gone down to $0.25 . It seems that they have sold out rights to images to some other websites as well , as I have found my images being sold from there on couple of other “unknown” , websites as well that sell stock images.
Alright so Etsy is hands down i have found to be just ok among many mentioned above . The amount of images that you sell through Etsy needs additional advertising on your part . While when you are selling through stock photography websites 1-7 all you need to know is better keywording . But once you start selling through etsy you must be aware of ways to drive traffic to your shop , SEO , social media marketing and more. Check out the blog post where I share how to monetize your shop by updating your listings.
Zazzle in my opinion can drive you more earnings if you have a potential of visualizing your products on various products. You can upload any of your graphics and then using bulk tool create multiple products ranging from stationary to homeware or more. Despite the fact that I am no longer creating many products through Zazzle but my Birthday invitations storeand Art Prints shop are giving me an extra income.
Last but not the least there are a few more websites through which you can sell your photography stock imagery and graphic design resources. these are … 13-Shopify
Bonus Stock Photo Websites for free Marketing
Stock photo website that are not so monsters in industry t are a good way to get additional eyes on your portfolio you can become a contributor as a free provider.

Just like etsy Artfire gives you ability to host digital content for instant downloads but then you have to work extra to drive traffic to your shop . That can or may include your social media skills to sell art online .

After my masters in Fine Arts with Majors in History of Art , I came out with the pride oof knowing the work of the Masters. Inspired by the modern Era and impressed by the Renesance. There is no where in my dictionary digital Art , infact at that time digital Art was non existant.
Slowly I got interested in creating Art through photoshop, manipulating images and creating fantasy images. At that time that was the thing , exploration of photoshop!
My digital art was expressional at the moment and I often wrote small pieces of poems to accompany my Art.
I got hired in an animation studio to create story boards in traditional hand drawings, while i taught Art in Dubai. Here I saw for the first time use of Adobe illustrator, next day I was sitting there reading help of illustrator and drawing.
So i started creating my own after reading adobe help files, with screen shots explaining everything that is when i got creative and create some of the most early vector tutorials on this blog in 1902
Pretty quickly i started getting traction and my blog picked up and daily hits shot to 5-6 k per day. It felt amazing! , that is when i started sharing resources for illustrator , vector brushes , that was so early on and not many people were doing these things.
I remember my competition was limited to a very few, all of this exploration of self kept me moving forward and now I share clipart images with my readers.
There is still a bit of hesitancy when it comes to use of clipart by graphic designers in their projects but there is a whole separte worlds of scrapbooking artists, creators , crafters, small business owners of hoodies, tshirts and invittions who use cliparts in their projects .
Early cliparts that gave it the name were a few lines , but today they are provided by artists as a pack of matching items in one single bundle.
This helps creators Unleas Creativity with Free Clipart Images, clipart bundles and more detailed cliparts. Still there are many people who really do not use cliparts in their “professional” projects!
I love them!
I love creating them and I really know the power behind a bundle or pack of cliparts that will help you accomplish your project much much faster !
This post will address frequently asked questions. Hopefully, it will also help readers develop an appreciation for the artists.
Clipart images are PNGs and JPGs that can be upto 1200 px or 6-8 inch at 300 dpi, why? because they are created keeping in mind the use of these images. which includes, use in social media headers, avatars, blog website icons, banners, featured icons, Digital Scrapbooking, invitation design, t-shirts and other merch.
Simpler than the usual detailed vector illustrations cliparts are more suggestive and fun, with not much details and sometimes outlined they can be easilily used in projects that are creative and for the witty audience.
Unleash your creativity with these simple illustrative art objects and create invitations for kids, educational books, merchendise for kids, coloring books for children, blog images and much much more
They are fun
Simple outlines
Basic colors
Less details
Non complexity of the art gives freedome to be creative with its use
Create packs of merch or related products in a theme using graphics available as a bundle and by the same artist.
Cheaper than the usuall vector illustrations they are a best alternative giving you access to same Style of work by the artist.
Google suggest the top searches that are really very simple cat clipart, woman clipart, flower cliparts, black and white cliparts so when it comes to finding cliparts there are many many searches that are popping up!
Slowly it is become a much saturated market but still my suggestion is to find an artist behind the image and stick to him/her for same style of images this will give your final project the branding aesthetics and consistency of your brand

Better habbits through chores my experience!
As a mom, let me share with you my experience of earning money or rewards through giving chores to my kids! I’ve discovered a fantastic way to teach responsibility and keep my children engaged by assigning them various tasks around the house and setting a price for each task. It’s actually quite fun!
So, here’s how it works: I create a list of chores suitable for each child’s age and abilities. From making their beds to tidying up their rooms, doing the dishes, or even helping with laundry, there are plenty of tasks to choose from. The key is to make it feel like a game!
To make things even more exciting, I assign a monetary value or a reward for each chore. This way, my kids understand that by completing these tasks, they can earn some money or special treats. It’s amazing how this simple system keeps them motivated and willing to participate eagerly.
Seeing my children take on these responsibilities and accomplish their tasks is truly heartwarming. Not only are they learning valuable life skills, but they are also gaining a sense of accomplishment and pride. It’s an excellent opportunity for them to understand the value of hard work and the rewards that come with it.
Of course, the money they earn isn’t just for spending on toys or treats. We encourage them to save a portion of their earnings, teaching them about financial responsibility from an early age. It’s a valuable lesson that will serve them well in the future.
Overall, using chores as a means of earning money or rewards has been a game-changer for our family. It brings a sense of fun and engagement to everyday tasks, instilling a strong work ethic and responsibility in our kids. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to bond and spend quality time together as we tackle these chores as a team.

Creating backgrounds which are effective is an essential part of the process of creating good designs .Here we will create a background which you can use for multiple projects in the end , ie background for presentations , for websites or simply an ad. This is a simple tutorial showing step by step how to create one using tools such as Pen tool , brushes and a simple Arc Effect.
Step 1
Creating background
Start off by creating a simple gradient background Here is the Theme of colours we will follow
It is always a good idea to have it clear in your mind what theme you are going to follow . I use often use colourlovers.com to help me in this process.
Step 2
Drawing Bleded lines
Using the pen tool draw two white stroke Lines having no fill.
Go to Object> Blend> Blend options
Adjust your blending options to some specified steps , something like this.
Hit Alt+Ctrl+B ie Object>Blend>Make
Create in the same way two more lines using Pen Tool (P) and using Object> Blend > make
Since your lines are all placed up now will be a good idea to play around with the nodes ( click on the End of start of your original line) adjust handle and stroke to get a better effect and curve in the lines. Here is my final result which i am happy with
Step 3
Elements Build up
Now we need to bring some elements into it . I brought This worldmap from my library and pasted it on the workboard
Right Click > Arrange> Bring to Front
Using a colour coinciding with the theme of your work colour the map accordingly
Step 4
Using Effects
I will use some effect to modify this map a bit
Go to Effects> ARC
Apply the effects you will get something like this
Step 5
Creating Arrows using Brushes
create some more random lines using the pen tool
open up your brush pallete Window> Brush Libraries > Arrows Standard
Select all your random lines and pick out an arrow brush and apply
Select each line one by one adjust stroke and width until you are satisfied with the outcome go to object>Expand your lines and drop a gradient shade to it , here i picked up from my colour pallete white and grey.
Step 6
Refining and Balancing
I am not too happy with the background at this point so i will add up a few more shapes .
And more
fill them up with the same gradient colour lighter than your background’s adjust transparencies until you are satisfied with the final outcome!

I have been selling stock photos Online since 2007, and at that time I could easily make well over $600 per week through selling my illustrations via various stock photo websites. But before that I always wondered how much money can be made selling stock photos online.
You can cross post your stock photos to multiple websites and earn a good flow of income from all Stock image websites. Earnings per image download can range from $0.35 to $5.80 for stock image download and around $50 – $100 for Extended License downloads. But you can make a lot more money if you follow the tips that I shared in this post.
It is best not to be exclusive with one stock photo website. Uploading the same portfolio of work to multiple sites can bring in a consistent flow of income which depends upon how many images you have uploaded.
My Story of Selling Stock illustration and Money that I Made
Since I am living in a country where $ currency converts well for over 10 years or so I was making good money by selling stock illustrations and images. Sounds crazy right? . For a graphic designer and illustration artist it is a dream!
Dreamstime pays between 25% and 60% commissions, resulting in $0.35 to $12.24 for a royalty-free download. You can earn up to $40.80 for extended licenses. In addition, Exclusive users get $0.20 per accepted uploaded image.
I kept of creating and submitting illustrations religiously……..But then….I decided to alter my path as life happened and I moved on from creating more stock illustrations to selling them as part of products through POD websites. until recently I checked back in my portfolio of work and still there was a good chunk of money waiting for me. This is why I am sharing my starters journey with you here in this blog post so anyone who is a beginner can understand how much and how soon money can be made through selling photos.
You can see that I was able to get an average of $60-70 per month from dreamstime at that time my portfolio wasn’t big enough as well. Which was pretty decent as a starting bonus coming from a single website.
Most of my images were vector illustrations and EPS files, Dreamstime accepts eps files that are good and clean . If you are wondering how to ready an illustration for submission then you might be interested in this tutorial where I shared how to clean your illustrations for submission as vector illustrations
Then gradually I started posting the same illustrations to other stock photo websites. I have covered all the best place to sell photos online in another blog post. In this post I will be drilling further on the idea of how much money you can actually make by selling photos and illustrations.
At that time i created illustrations in bulk and i really loved it too, I gave myself challenge to create 100 illustrations ( Even wrote a blog post in 2008 about it ).
Shutterstock works great for contributors as well, at that time Shutterstockhad an active forum that helped a lot when it came to driving traffic to our new submissions as a contributor. See below my limited stats from 2007. I am sharing stats from that time because I wanted to show how much you can start making within your first month from these websites.
My portfolio started growing steadily and I started uploading them to other stock photo websites. Later on when I lost the drive to create more illustrations and stock photos and changed my direction into Art Licensing my works. My portfolio stopped growing and so did my earnings.
So How can you make a steady stream of income? IF you are deciding to go down this route then the only way you can earn a good chunk of money through selling photos and illustrations is by keeping your portfolio alive.
You earn between 15% and 40% commission when one of your images or videos is downloaded at Shutterstock. This means you get paid $0.10 to $5.80 for images, $10.20 to $39.80 for extended licenses, and $1.25 to $47.92 for each video.
But in order to earn a good passive income through these websites you must be publishing content regularly, updating your image library, adding more content and uploading them to these websites. This doesn’t mean that you can just throw these out on the websites. You will be required to do a proper keyword research add these keywords in titles and tags of the photos in order to make more sales.
A few of my illustrations that are from back in 2007 are not that well keyworded as at the moment making money on these websites was comparatively easy.
How to increase sales and make more money Selling Stock Photos Online?
Here are a few of my tips if you would like to maybe start selling or increase your earning through stock photos. This is not a get rich quick scheme at all so if you are one of those people who are hoping to make good money then maybe this path is not the right one for you.
So what is required of you if you choose to stay the path?
1- Consistency
Keeping a consistent flow of new images and stock photos is very important. This will not only keep your portfolio growing but also each new upload will push you towards recent images search results hence pulling your complete portfolio to front of the websites. Hence making more sale , hence making more money selling stock photos.
2- Keeping up with the Trends
Keeping up with the trends is very important. All year round there is consistent demand for new images and stock photos and illustrations , vectors, video footage and more. So as a creator, contributor and artist you must have a mindset of pre-projection of which images are going to be search next.
For instance right now we are entering Oct , marketing companies and clients have already created the advertising material, products or updated their online content with Halloween images. So if you are creating halloween images, illustrations or stock photos then you must have them already up on the website a month before.
I keep myself updated through a simple calendar that is well 2 months in advance for every holiday so I really get the idea about when to start creating which illustrations.
3- Keyword research
Doing keyword research has become integral part of if process now. As your title and tags must contain words that are being searched. You can use google keyword planner or any other advance keywords planner to find the right words and tags.
I really love the shutterstock keyword generation tool which really helps in finding searchable keywords. Once I have generated keywords inside shutterstock I take it to other platforms and mostly use the same keywords. So if you are batching your upload process then this becomes really easy to post on multiple sites in less time.
4- Quality over Quantity
Now when i look at my work that was posted & mind you got sold and STILL does is not at all I would approve today for posting. People can buy such ugly images as well at times that makes me wonder really? someone needed that ?.
Not really ugly but a very simple illustration of mine of a stick figure fairy made me around $2000 cumulatively over the years. I even received a thankyou note from someone who purchased my illustration to create a memory book for her mother.
Example of how much a stock illustration sells for
You can see the breakdown of cost over the years for this particular illustration the range of amount you can earn varries.
You get paid more for a larger file size or a vector format.
The same image gets sold for various keywords defined by the searcher of image. Keeping your tags various will help you get noticed and make more sales.
Same image got sold for $13 and $0.35, $2.0 , $7.5 , $5. 7 so it really depends upon the size and the subscription plan of the buyer.
Example of Various Prices for Various Sizes of images Sold
The feeling is great when you recieve this kind of appreciation. My stick figure fairy couldnt give me good monetry return if you think of it . But yeah she is cute.
5- Sharing your portfolio on Social Media
It is advisable to drive traffic to your portfolio, more eyes fall on your work it is better. Pretty much all of the platforms have widgets and embed options for images or portfolio so why not?. So one of the aspects of how much money can you make selling stock photos is how much you bring it in front of the right audience.
One of my highest money making months on stock photo websites have been the ones where I shared my portfolio in the forums and over social media as well. More traffic comes to your portfolio more money you will be able to make.
It is said that 20% creativity and 80% marketing, with artists and creators this part becomes a bit difficult when they immerse themselves so much in the creativity aspect that they do not spend their energy over marketing it. Marketing is what brings in more clients and hence more commission and money.
6- Signing up as a referral
The best thing that I did besides creating illustrations for stock photo websites to make money was to sign up as their referral. Referral is when you invite others to signup to their website either as a seller or a contributor. You can make money by selling stock photos and illustrations and while doing that you can also make money by sharing their website. So it is a win win.
For example if right now if you went and signed up as a contributor , since you are wondering how much money can you make selling stock photos online, I will get a %age of commission every time someone buys your portfolio too and/or if someone buys stock photos or illustrations using the links that I shared.
So even if you are not making money through your portfolio of stock images you can still make some extra income by sharing it.
You must have seen other free vector illustration and image sharing websites that do it for free, have a portion of their search pages taken over by Shutterstock or Dreamstime. This is how they make money, ie by driving traffic to shutterstock . You can view this in action right here 🙂
Now if you are like me and would like to branch out and multiply on the amount of money that you make through selling stock photos you can very well create products and sell them through other websits. Afterall you have a great portfolio of work now and you can definately cash it out in multiple ways. One way is to sell it through your own blog or website ( Set up a Woocommerce Store ) , You can sell them as bundles through Etsy ( Claim 40 free listings to get started) or You can sell products created using your images through other POD websites .
Conclusion: Can you + How Much Money can be made through stock photo websites.
You can earn well over $1000 or so with a portfolio big enough and good enough by selling your same work through multiple websites. And if you create and sell them further through other websites beside stock photo website you can easily create multiple $$$.

How to do Reverse Image Search for your stock photo or illustrations.
Google’s “Reverse image search” seems to be a pretty handy tool for designers and artists , for an illustration artist or graphic designer , who are selling or licensing their artworks this little but mighty tool can be quite useful . This can be used to help artists find unauthorized uses of their works.
Discover all sorts of content that’s related to a specific image. Just specify an image, and you’ll find other similar or related images as well as relevant results from across the Web.
What s Reverse Image Search and Why do I need one?
Even though my Free Vector PNGs are free to download but they do come with a limitation of credit back with a link to my website. Many content creators and bloggers sometimes repost these images without doing that.
Can you Reverse Image Search to find Graphics?
Of course you can reverse image search to find your graphics I have done it multiple times and have sent DCMA notice a couple of times and go them removed. For example my tutorial of how to recolor artwork in illustratorhas some pretty high quality black and white outlines.
Hence many coloring book websites have stolen images from this tutorial and posted them as their own. Using Reverse image search on google has helped me tremendously to find these.
Can you reverse search an image on a phone?
You can reverse image search on your Android device with Google Chrome. You can also reverse image search through google chrome on your phone. Open a web page by tapping and holding the image and then choosing to search with Google Lens. If the image is stored on your phone, you can tap on the Google Lens icon in Chrome’s search bar
What are the best Reverse image Search Tools?
Searching for the original source of an image you find online can be a tedious task. These free sites make it simple to find out where a photo came from by doing a reverse search. Reverse image searches are especially useful when you’re looking for a safe use of an image or if you want to find out if your content has been stolen.
Keeping in view my experience from a creators point of view although google will deliver many images for each search result it is NOT OK to simply save the images found in searches and using them in your projects. Thankfully you have the option to dig deeper and find out the source of the image. Find the copyright information or the creator of the image.
Reach out to the designer where necessary to get the permission to use their creation on your website with proper link back and credit information. IF this is too much you can else search Vintage Stock photo websites for images or buy or purchase stock photos with relevant usage rights.
Google reverse image search engine is one of the first ones that started providing its services and back in the days I only knew of google image search.This is how I found out early on when the Art Licensing agent I was working with kept selling my art through POD websites without my consent.
Simply go to google and look up for reverse image, or Click here to land on the page to do the search.
Upload an image from your computer
Drop the image into a search bar
Click “Search”
2- Yahoo image Search
Doing image search on yahoo is pretty much the same as the other search engines that do the reverse image search for free. You have the image ready with you and simply upload it to the search engine to do the image search.
The results are not exactly the same on search engines, which is due to the search results and website indexing on the said search engine.
How to reverse image search using Yahoo Image Search?
Select an image from your computer
Upload it or drag and drop it into the search bar
Click “Search”
3-Bing visual Search
Bing visual search is provided by Microsoft back in 2014. You can now use images to search the content instead of using text to do this task.
How do i search Bing with an image?
Select the Images tab at the top of any search results page, or go to Bing images.
In the search box, select the camera icon.
4-Tin Eye image Search
Believe it or not but my very first encounter with reverse image search was with using Tin Eye image search. A vary handy similar extension for firefox which i have been using for a while is TINEYE . Which is i guess MORE practical for me and a bit more quicker! .
How does Tin Eye work to search images?
You can do that by uploading an image or searching by URL. You can also simply drag and drop your images to start your search.TinEye constantly crawls the web and adds images to its index. Today, the TinEye index is over 56.0 billion images.
5-Pinterest Image Search
Being a graphic designer and visual artist Pinterest image search is by far the most loved website I use. Since the flip side of using pinterest search is that if you are creating products then this tool will definately come in handy.
How to use Reverse image search on mobile with Pinterest?
