Microstock |

 |
Microstock is the name given to the portion of the royalty-free stock photography market that operates exclusively online sourcing photos from the public. Anyone can upload their photos to various microstock agencies who will sell them repeatedly, generating ongoing commissions for the contributor. For more detail, read my about Microstock page or my sell photos online index. |

I’m a hobbyist photographer but a keen observer of the microstock market. I have been selling photos in the microstock market part time since August 2005 and writing about the market here since March 2007. I contribute photos to microstock agencies in collaboration with my partner who is a graphic designer and great with Photoshop. |
