It’s very easy to screw up a conversion project but it can also be easily avoided if you follow these rules... We get many people asking if they can submit images for cash. Here is the definitive answer, which you can apply to any website.
Images (stills and video) of course have value. Good ones have more value than other ones. If you can create "images with high value" then ABSOLUTELY someone will pay for those. Therein lies the catch... What constitutes "high value" with images? Simple: It's images that other people want to view or purchase. The more they want to view, the more they want to purchase, the higher the value.
Remember the old adage? "A thing is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it."
If you can generate those, images that people want to see/purchase, then start generating. You have a gift and the only thing that stands between you and significant monetary gain is your inventory of images and how you market them.
Where to begin
If you think you have something that others will want, then by all means, tell someone about it. What's the #1 reason people don't give you money for what you do? They are unaware that you do it. Where did the term starving artist come from? Artists that had no marketing plan.
Here's what you do: Take your best image (or a few of them) and post somewhere to get feedback from the audience you're trying to attract. You need to get validation from strangers, people that have no vested interest in you.
If you know someone with a website that has an audience, find out how you can get your material onto their site. If you don't know how to navigate this area, then find someone you trust to help you with it. In most cases, great work comes from two people. In the case of a model, you need the person in front of the camera, and the one snapping the shutter. Better to have a small percentage of something huge rather than 100% of nothing.
Should you have specific questions on this, contact us directly and send us a sample of what you think has value.

Bottom line: There is no get rich quick, but you *can* make money from selling your images, and even single moms can do this.
