For KEE friends who want to try earning income from a hobby, you can really try this one. Instead of having lots of photos sitting idle in your memory, you can become a contributor to stock photos. Some sites even dare to give $100 per photo! If 10 photos are sold you can get more than 10 million. That's not bad... But of course each site has its own terms and conditions...
1. 500px Prime
On this site there are 5 million photographers from all over the world who actively upload their shots. The commission received is 70% of each photo license sold, with the standard commission being $250. There are several types of licenses, you can find out more on the site directly.

2. SmugMug
This site is a little different from the previous one. For every photo sold, you can get 85% of the selling price of the photo. But you need to become a premium member for around 150 thousand per month. On this site you can also determine the selling price that you think is suitable for your photos.

3. Shutterstock
At Shutterstock you can earn a commission of up to $120 per image purchased, although pricing is quite complicated compared to other sites. The market for people who buy images or videos from Shutterstock is quite high. Apart from that, you can also get a commission from the profits of people you invite to join as contributors. Interesting huh..

4. iStockphoto
This site has been around since 2001. Becoming a contributor is not as easy as other sites, they will check whether people who register are suitable for the site. If you're a match, you'll have to answer a few more questions to become a member. The final step is to upload your work to see if it meets the qualifications expected by the iStockphoto team. The commission you get is around 15% from each photo sale, whereas if you are registered as an exclusive contributor, the commission you get is 45%.

5. Etsy
This site is quite complete, starting from wedding decorations, Halloween costumes, and also a place to sell photos. The commission earned is quite large because Etsy only gets 20 cents from each photo sold and 3.5% of the selling price. But you need extra effort to get your photos sold by promoting them on social media or on other sites to get your photos sold.
