Stock photography is photography or other imagery of common landmarks, landscapes, nature, objects, concepts, people, and events that can be used and reused for a variety of commercial design purposes. Stock photography can be searched by keyword and remains catalogued until purchased by a customer. Stock photography sites also accept and sell computer graphic designs such as backgrounds, textures, illustrations, clip-art and vectors, usually stock photography means commercial photography.

If you enjoy photography, a good logical step is to try and make money from it. It takes time and dedication to sell your photographs. The nice part about selling stock photography is that almost anyone can do it.

Usually, becoming a contributor photographer to a royalty free stock photography site doesn't cost anything. You should avoid royalty free sites that ask you to pay for a fee to store or handle your images.

Normally it only takes few minutes to register, some sites may require you to carefully read some terms and instructions and take a test based on those instructions. But this is more a formality.
After registering you may upload the first batch of photos and hope they will be accepted. Each site has its own procedure for submitting and reviewing images, and the process can take a few days or even weeks. 

Carefully prepare your photos before uploading them and choose the right keywords for your images. Keywords are very important because they help your photos to be found on the stock site. Each stock agency allows you to specify a certain number of keywords. If you plan to upload your photos on more sites you should use software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to specify keywords, a description and a title for your photos. This way you don't have to take care of keywords every time you upload an image on another site because most stock photography sites can automatically extract this information.

The images from a royalty free photography site are bought by magazine editors, web designer, for posters, flyers and other graphic purposes. Each time one of your images is downloaded, you get paid a percentage
