Sell Stock Photos And Make Money With Your Photography – Great Remote Income!

Sell Stock Photos While Traveling In Your RV Full Time

How To Sell Stock Photos And Be Free To Travel In Your RV

I have been a photographer pretty much all my life it seems, but I decided to sell stock photos over 5 years ago.  In fact, I really got into selling stock photos when my husband and I started looking for remote job opportunities when we started traveling full-time in our RV.

My husband Jim and I started traveling full-time in our RV in 2016. We love the freedom of being able to work from anywhere. I discovered that selling stock photos was one of the best remote jobs for me.

I remember loving photography and always having a camera in my hand throughout my high school years, and then after that too – once I got married and had my own kids, I photographed them A LOT! I have albums and albums and albums of photos of the little cuties all stored away while we travel in our RV.

How Did I Start Selling Stock Photos?

My love of photography turned into a career in portrait photography about 14 years ago when we lived in Illinois. I photographed babies, families and high school seniors in my own studio that I had purchased and run myself. The studio was part of everything we sold off when we decided to change our lifestyle and go full time RV traveling. However, I could NEVER put my camera down, and I love being able to earn an income while traveling in our RV and doing what I love to do best! So I learned to Sell Stock Photos! Now I can travel in our RV wherever I want, take photos while I’m there, and upload them to my stock image sites to make some extra money! I also take photos of food and upload those to my stock image sites, as they seem to sell very well!

You can get a peek at my Shutterstock portfolio HERE for a great example of what I do. I also upload photos to Getty, Dreamstime, 123RF and Adobe Stock! Between these 5 agencies, I make a fairly decent little side income (and I continue to grow my portfolio more and more and earn even more money while we travel in our RV!)
