How to send and sell the picture on the Internet

Copywriting is not the only way of sale of works on the Internet. In addition to texts, it is possible to trade also in images. For this purpose the websites called microdrains serve.

1. Understand a difference between the terms "image bank" and "microdrain". An image bank it is possible to call any service allowing to extend pictures or other images paid or gratuitously. A microdrain is called only such image bank nonprofessional photographers are allowed to participation in which.

Master one of programs for creation of images on the computer. It is better to begin with a free Inkscape package, and after accumulation of funds from sale of images it is possible to buy the paid Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator program (or to make these investments in the camera and instead of works of computer graphics to begin to sell pictures).

5. Learn what images of subject best of all are on sale on that microdrain where you are going to work. Also offer such pictures or pictures for sale most often. During creation of works completely observe requirements imposed to them. As the fee for the picture is defined by its permission, do not reduce it artificially, except for cases when it allows to hide defects of shooting. And do not try to plagiarize at all - it will be surely found and stopped. Even if not to make you responsible, an opportunity to sell images on that website where you were convicted of plagiarism, will be closed for you forever. Do not allow hit in a shot of the protected works, including, architecture. In addition to copyright, observe the right for the image of the citizen regulated by Article 152.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. On some websites sale of images of objects with well noticeable trademarks is prohibited - in this case delete logos from pictures.
