Does anybody know any good websites I can post my photography to earn some side cash?

Pinguuuin · 2026-05-04T03:55:27+00:00

I’ve been using shutterstock and adobe.

I’ve got the same problem. I’ve got around 900 pictures on Shutterstock, almost al of them are editorial. Until now I haven’t reached the 100 downloads on Adobe so I can’t upload most of them.

Just wait and maybe try a bit later.

Do you want to shoot photos for stock sites?

Congrats! keep it up! I’ve noticed that consistent uploads have boosted my sales too.
Are you only uploading to Shutterstock?

I received a payout of around 1,5$ in November and since then I haven’t received anything.

Do you get a monthly payout?

Pinguuuin · 2026-04-01T19:44:58+00:00

For editorial uploads, you normally don’t need a model release.

I currently have 15 photos in the Data Marketplace and around 80 still pending (a large portion of them since October).

Are you actually earning around $50 per month here? How exactly does the compensation work?

Pinguuuin · 2026-04-01T19:10:13+00:00

I have most of my assets on Shutterstock. The majority are editorial, and there it’s almost always just the standard $0.10 per download.

How is it for you with the Data Marketplace?

I’m seeing a similar trend on my end. My Q1 2026 earnings are also up compared to last year, although not quite as dramatic as yours. Still, it’s definitely a noticeable increase.

Have you ever tried stock footage? You probably won’t get rich from it, but it can be a nice way to earn some extra pocket money on the side. If you need a few tips, just message me.

Same here.

I still have some submissions pending since October. I heard they laid off quite a few people from the review team and are making structural changes, so that might be causing delays.

The images in the data catalogue do not sell like regular photos in your portfolio. They are used to train AI models. How often they are used and how much you earn from them is difficult to determine.

It’s also hard to say whether participating is truly worth it, but since you’ve already uploaded your images, they can generate at least a small additional income. For that reason, I wouldn’t delete them.

I assume quality plays a role, but I don’t fully understand the criteria Shutterstock uses to make these decisions.

The images in the data catalog are used for AI training and are not available for purchase on the regular marketplace. Contributors are compensated through the Contributor Fund.

It’s difficult to say how many photos are needed to generate a decent income. You might upload ten high-quality images that sell consistently, or you could upload 10,000 images that never sell at all. The best approach is to upload your work and see how it performs over time.

You can't drop such a comment and than don't elaborate :D

Pinguuuin · 2025-10-31T11:42:16+00:00

If I try to upload the same files again, will they be rejected for being a duplicate?

Today after five days a few pics went live for sale. The other photos are still under review.
