🍿 The Big Picture:

The digital era has sparked an endless appetite for visual content, catapulting the stock image and video market to new heights.

With a market size set to hit $7.33 billion by 2028, photographers and videographers have a golden opportunity to cash in on their creativity.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a budding beginner, the demand for diverse, high-quality visuals is booming, and it's time you got a piece of the pie.

🛠 The Idea:

Capture pictures of mountains, rivers, roads and anything else in the landscape world through your lens and upload your work to stock platforms.

It's a simple yet effective model: shoot, upload, and earn.

Platforms like Getty Images, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and iStock are your gateways to buyers worldwide.

The best part is your earnings are passive; once your images are up, they keep earning for you with every download.

Getting Started:

Avoid Humans & Animals:
Generally speaking through our research, we find that images of landscapes and scenery are better to take photos of.

Platform Selection:
Choose stock photo websites that align with your style and audience.

Upload and Tag:
Submit your photos with relevant keywords for easy discovery.

Earn Royalties:
Enjoy earnings from each download, with commissions ranging from 15% to 50%.

Consider Syndication:
For exclusive photos, contact a syndication agency that can license your photos to higher-paying clients like publishers and advertisers.

🔥 Is the Market Hot?

The stock image and video market is not just growing; it's thriving.

With the global market size valued at $4.96 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $7.33 billion by 2028, there's never been a better time to dive in.



Your visual content is in high demand, and platforms are constantly seeking fresh, captivating images and videos.

🍞 Revenue Potential:

The earning potential in stock photography is as vast as your portfolio. Take Charles Wollertz, for example, which sold over $500,000 worth of stock images.

Stock image Photographers typically earn up to $26 per image, ideal for high-volume sales, while in image syndication, earnings can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars per image, attracting higher-paying clients and longer-term revenue.
