Who Buys Stock Photos, and What Type of Photos Sell the Best?
The largest buying base of stock photos are advertisement industry, documentary makers, bloggers and small to medium sized website business owners, news channels, magazines etc.
Suppose a New York based magazine wants to publish an article about Indian people and Indian Culture, it's easier, convenient and money saver for them to buy those online stock-photos, instead of coming all the way to India to photo-shoot on location with their whole team. They buy and the photographers earn.
Same with the advertisement industry. Every business owner has a dream of expanding their business abroad. They want to sell their products overseas. They spend a lot of money on advertisements. These advertisement channels prefer to show the local area to relate to their customers, they need a local content and again buying readily available pics of local areas, streets, food etc. is cheaper for them instead of shooting on real locations.
It's a huge marketplace. If you upload pics and someone like those pics, they will buy and you earn money. The best thing is you don't even need to be a professional photographer.
Anyone can upload pics on this website for free. Keep uploading regularly and you never know, if a certain pic goes viral, you will start earning a real big amount.
