Ideas, Concepts, What Sells, and What Doesn't

What sells the best for me is definetly business and medical type images. They don't have to include people, but can be just be ideas or concepts that designers would use. The worst sellers for me are things that anyone can take a photo of, typically nature stuff (flowers, trees, etc). It is a good idea to look at best sellers on each site and use those for inspiration.

There are two ways to look at microstock. The first is to see it as a fun hobby that pays for itself, so one should take pictures of things they like and not worry so much about earnings and revenue per picture. The second way is to look at it like a business an treat is as such. Review all your pictures and look for trends and what is selling. Use this information to make decisions on what to take more pictures of. If you have a certain type of picture that is selling really well and earning you lots of money, then you should try to upload more similar images. So to start out, diversify! Upload a wide variety of images and see what sells well for you, then to maximize earnings continue to upload the pictures that sell the best. This doesn't mean you should only upload those types of images, because of seasonal fluctuations, it is always good to have a somewhat diversified portfolio and always be looking for different types of images that may become new best sellers. Making money with microstock is really easy, making lots of money isn't.

I am still in the diversify stage and watching to see how earnings are doing and what images are selling the best. I also treat this as more of a hobby than a business, so I shoot mostly what I enjoy, which is concept type photos. To me these are the most fun, because you can take them anytime and just thinking up the idea is half the challenge.
