This is a really important tutorial and one that will potentially get you earning a substantial passive income from royalties you can earn. I’ve been shooting stock photography since 2000 and has given me the opportunity to travel around the world and return with savings. It actually was what funded me while I was writing this course. The stock photography industry is constantly changing and it is so important to understand it before signing up to a library and supplying them with your imagery. You could earn as little as 0.19 cents for a sale from one library and more than €1000 from another. Remember you are selling to an international audience so you can earn valuable currencies.
