You pictures are worth for money. In new generation especially in the internet age and with the help of some photo agency you can easily make money in you photo..

 Stock photography agents are companies represent photographers and sell their photographs. Usually the stock agencies will restrict the uses allowed for a photograph. The interface is usually web based, allowing the photographer to quickly upload, and the customer, an easy selection and download mechanism. The micro stock agencies have a quantity favored policy.

Filtering and Choosing Photographs
When you are choosing your portfolio, consider the following point: does your photograph has a value as an illustration or as a concept or idea that a customer can benefit from? For example, a photograph of a businessman in a suit climbing a mountain will sell better that a macro shot of a mosquito on a pinhead. A lady holding a disk in one hand and a handful of dollar notes on the other hand, will sell better the a photograph of a hippopotamus chasing a koala bear. This has nothing to do with the quality of the photographs. The micro stock agencies and their customers are looking for clear ideas and concepts that their clients can use.


Preparing the Photograph
Before uploading your photographs to a micro stock agency site, you need to make sure you comply with the following guide lines:

  • The picture should be uploaded in JPEG format with minimal compression (some sites allow for RAW image upload as well)
  • Most sites require that you upload your photographs in their original resolution. Do not resize the image.
  • The guys who verify the images you have submitted are very sensitive to noise and granularity. Try looking at your photo in a 100% magnification to verify you do not "suffer" from noise. If in doubt use tools to remove the noise such as Noise Ninja or Neat image.
Choosing Keywords
If you will not index your photographs with good keywords, you will never get good exposure on the micro stock site. You are competing against some 1,000,000 (yes that is more than one million) pictures and about 25,000 photographs added weekly.

The best way is to look at similar photographs uploaded by other users to get ideas. You can also use a thesaurus to find synonyms.

Getting Paid
Once you have accumulated a fixed amount of money you can get paid. Usually this amount is between 75$-100$. You can get a check or use paypal.
Recommended Sites
There are many micro stock sites, some better. Since most contracts are not exclusive, I recommend using several micro stock agencies in parallel. Here are some recommended sites
Dreams Time
- This is a less known site, but still very popular with the clients,
and gets great sells. The basic price per image is 1$ (or 2$ for full
resolution) out of which the photographer gets 50%.

The site is very friendly. It has an FTP upload option and pictures are usually approved within a three days.
Fotolia
- Fotolia is a rising star in the field of stock photography. They
usually pay more then 50% of the commission to the photographer, and
allow you to set your own price. They are one of the fastest to approve
photographs. Another nice thing is the way you can get your money. They
will allow you to make a paypal cashout once you've hit the 2 dollar
mark.
Bigstockphoto - Yet another great site for photographers. They pay 50c or 1$ per image downloaded. And they allow to get paid after only 30$ has accumulated. They will approve photos in about three days. They allow FTP upload.
Shutter Stock - This is the leading micro stock agency today. Shutterstock’s business model allows a customer to make a subscription and during the subscription period the customer can download 25 pictures a day. This model encourages downloads, and indeed you will get allot of downloads. The photographers earn 25c per download, and additional 5c if the customer also requested to burn the image on a CD. There are also broader uses licenses that the client can buy for additional payment. The site is very friendly. It has an FTP upload option and pictures are approved within a day or two.
123rf.com - 123rf is a relatively new agency which is doing well. They are still small, so if you are good standing out is easy. They pay 50% of each sale to the photographer - nice. Another nice feature is email notification once your images has been approved or rejected.
Stockxpert - Stockxpert is another good micro stock agency. They have good FTP support, and they will approve your photos within days. 50% out of each download goes to the photographer.
iStockPhoto - Istock Photo is another big micro stock agency. They pay something between 20% to 40%, but the image is sold for 1-12 dollars so there is a chance of a nice payoff. Also as a photographer progresses, he/she gets more % out of every sale.
CanStockPhoto - They pay 50% for guest/member download and 0.25 USD for subscription download. They are a great agency, with a little cluttered design.
Feature Pics - A very nice agency - they let you set a price for your stock photos or set the percentage that you want to earn.
Photostockplus
- photostockplus gives a great variety of products you can sell. They
will not only sell your photos, but put them on mugs, shirts and more.
photostockplus also provides great resources for event photographers


I read an article in CNNMoney.com, about the tips on how to cut your taxes and it will save up your money. Many people are still looking for how to cut out their taxes. This article is very helpful to us because we are going to pay our taxes monthly. These are the ways to cut out your taxes.

You bought a house 
Late last year, the Congress extended the valuable homebuyer break beyond first-timers. So if you already owned a home but  bought a new one after Nov. 6, 2009, you may be entitled to a credit worth 10% of the purchase price, up to $6,500.

Even if you buy in 2010 -- you have until April 30 to sign a contract and until June 30 to close -- you can claim the credit on your 2009 return, says Mark Luscombe, a principal analyst with tax research firm CCH. (You may need to file an extension or amended return if you sign after April 15.)

Income Limits (for repeat homebuyers)
Full credit up to $225,000
Partial credit up to $245,000

Potential savings: $6,500 for a repeat homebuyer on a house worth $65,000 or more.

You've got a kid in college
The American Opportunity Tax Credit for 2009 and 2010. John Roth a senior analyst with CCH say "Will be the most generous education credits.". Per student can claim $2,500 per year for the first four years of college.

You got a new set of wheels

You weathered a disaster
 
There were 59 federal disasters declared in 2009, everything from ice jams in Alaska to flooding in Florida. If your house was damaged in one of them and your homeowners insurance didn't pick up the full bill, you have money coming back to you -- and you don't need to itemize to get it. For 2009, there is no limit on what you can claim (typically you can deduct only losses greater than 10% of AGI). And you can also retroactively apply any losses you can't use to 2008 taxes. File amended returns to get your money quickly. One hitch: You must subtract $500 from the loss before writing it off.

Potential savings: $6,860 if you took a $25,000 hit

Hope this tips would help to cut out you taxes....
