  1. Sell Stock Photos:

The best and the most easiest way to sell your photos is to take help of stock photos applications available online.
Stock photos are used by advertising agencies, websites, bloggers, publications and more. You can sell stock photos of pretty much any genre. Try photographing areas which are unexplored or not very well covered for example any photos of a baby bathing, person yawning or feeling sad sitting holding his or her head. Such pictures definitely sells more. Also you can think of seasonal photos like for example current season is soccer sports the FIFA World Cup. There are chances different ad agencies or websites might be looking for photos where people are playing football or soccer.
Here are the few best and famous Stock photo websites.

A. ShutterStock:
ShutterStock is my first personal choice and will recommend to all who want to earn money by selling photos.
Selling photos doesn't mean only selling photos now days videos are also in demand. You can upload videos also to increase your earning. Now a days we have mobiles with HD recording and features like slow motion and time lapse videos that can definitely increase your earning.

Foap is my first favourite choice when it comes to mobile apps in stock photo community. Awesome place to be and they accept all kinds of photos you have shot using your mobile phone for example your towel hanging in outdoor, dirty pairs of slippers, or muddy shoes any thing of that sort can be sold on Foap. Also you can join missions from big brands like NIVEA, Cocacola etc and earn 100 of dollars. You can also follow other photographers and include their photos in your own album and get paid when those photos get sold.
