Re: Stock photos
The stock industry is in a bit of upheaval right now with the biggest player on the block (Getty) being up for sale. Stock can make you really big money but the way to get there is to invest heavily in the production of the images. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of microstock agencies out there selling mediocre work, or downright junk, for very little. IF you want to stand out and make money you'll need to differentiate yourself from them. This means really good work and you'll need to charge accordingly. If anyone tells you your going to get rich earning $.35 / image, they're either wrong or lying to you.
Bottom line - if you want to make money in stock photography you'll have to put some significant time and money into generating the images.
