Photographer? Build a Passive Income
Most photographers' hope to some day have the opportunity to sell their photographs at a gallery. It can take time to get such an opportunity, possibly many years. Instead of just letting their photographs sit, catching dust, they can now start earning a great passive income with their existing portfolios. This will be possible by placing stock images on Wemark.
In the past, photographers who would place their photographs as stock images would get very small amounts because the company that had their images would be the one selling it. What's worse is that they would lose the rights to their photograph. This gave photographers an option, they could either wait for the opportunity to sell their photographs at a gallery or they could make money by providing them as downloadable stock images. Wemark does not force photographers to have to choose between the ability to sell the image or earning from its online downloads.
Have Your Cake and Eat it Too
Wemark is going to allow photographers to provide their images for stock downloads on its marketplace. Wemark is a marketplace so the photographers decide the prices and the conditions of the sale; photographers can earn whatever amount they price their photographs at and Wemark will take 15%. The low fee is not the only good part because photographers are the ones selling the photographs so they keep the rights to their work.
Photographers will be able to get a passive income from stock image downloads on Wemark while they work hard to get their photographs listed in a gallery. They won't have to give up a passive income anymore.
Wemark is also giving photographers the ability to get the money to pay for the expenses involved in getting the best photographs.
Working Towards a Gallery
Getting into a gallery is tough because only the most unique work makes it in. This usually requites photographers to go out of their way into unique villages or landscapes or wait a long time to explore the world till they capture the perfect shot of human spirit. Either way, money can be a problem as travel is expensive and the best shot can take a lot of time. The good part is that once a photographer makes it into a gallery, the value of his works rises.
Photographers now have the ability to strategize their work so they can have the money to snap gallery-worthy work. Wemark gives them the chance to make an income-focused portfolio of stock images that brings a passive income for them. Wemark's fees are low enough that most of the money from the image download comes to them. This gives photographers the ability to take some strategic portfolios for stock images; these photographs would be the type that commonly portray the daily headlines of newspapers.
Once this strategic portfolio is done, Wemark will make sure photographers get most of the money paid for downloads. That money will pay for the expenses involved in getting the photographs that can earn a spot in a gallery.
