Have you ever submitted photos on website that pay you for downloads?

March 30th, 2012
Just wanted to get some opinions about posting some photos on websites that pay for downloads. I did not really look into the fine print or details of anything. Just curious about the process and if anyone has done this? Thank you all for your thoughts and advice!

What sites are you thinking of?

I know on smugmug you can set up selling and digital downloads are an option, not sure if that is what you're talking about, or something else.

The process is quite simply. You sign up, given them heaps of details - i.e. copy of your drivers licence. You can then give them paypal details and they send you money... :)

Oh they also require to pass a test on copyright and legal matters so you understand exactly what you are doing. Not to mention you also have to submit some sample images so they can see the quality of your work.

Does that help?
