In an age where digital content reigns supreme, the opportunity to earn a passive income through stock photography has never been more accessible. As a newcomer to Shutterstock, I embarked on a journey to explore this lucrative avenue, and in just 10 days, I made my first £1.88 selling stock photos. With a simple setup of my contributor account, I focused on curating a small portfolio rich in quality, capturing images across popular categories like nature, business, and food. By engaging in effective tagging and promoting my work on social media, I began to attract views and, eventually, my first sales. Though £1.88 may seem modest, the experience was invaluable, teaching me the foundations of stock photography and igniting my passion for this creative venture. With persistence and continuous learning, I look forward to expanding my portfolio and income. Dive into stock photography—your first earnings may be just around the corner!
