Ready to make some money? Stock sales tend to pick up every fall. Let’s submit some new photos and ride the income wave. For the month of September, my goal is to get 10 new photos accepted into stock sites each week. Why not set a number for yourself and join me? Here’s how: 1.Today, go through Lightroom (or wherever you organize your photos) and pick out all of the photos that you think will work as stock. 2.One evening this week, upload 15 of them to the stock sites of your choice. We’re aiming to get 10 accepted, so let’s submit 15 in case a few get rejected. 3.Repeat step 2 each week for a month. If you don’t have 60 photos that you deem “stock worthy” (or 15 per week for four weeks), you can do one of two things: 1.Lower your goal to something achievable. Even if you start with just one photo per week, get your momentum going. 2.Get out your camera and take more photos. We can do this! Let’s hold each other to it on the Breakfast StockClub Facebook Page. Post your goal there so everyone can see it, and we’ll check in each week. Not only will this build your portfolio fast, but you should see a boost in sales, too! Let’s get to it!
