Nothing to get rich of, but a Start.

Thanks for the list. I'll try out some of these sites, as I've been looking at ways to make money with my photos.

I've found recently another site called "Flixya" (http://www.flixya.com/), which does a 100% revenue-share with your Google Adsense account for the ads on their site - this seems to be a good idea although I have yet to earn anything from it to see!

That sounds strange.
Never heard 100% before - just clicked it, how do they finance themselves then???

I have taken the adsense thingy out of my feedburner again, it seems that it downs your CTR?
The whole December mine was pretty high. Now my Clicks got better and the CTR is close to Zero after I added the Feedburner thing...
We'll see if it goes up again or if I just screwed up along the road (not that I made much money with it anyway....)

I am a life long photographer. At one time, it even put food on the table. But that was a long time ago. Lately, my photography has taken a back seat to painting. Maybe, when I retire, I'll find time to do proper justice to both.

I read that on your blog

Things in Life change and so do professions, hobbies and such.
I'm glad you found a new Love in painting.
Maybe one day the camera cries out for you again

The idea of promoting one's work speaks to the notion that one produces work of a quality suitable for promotion/sale, etc. My psyche is too fragile, at least as regards my 'art', to put myself in a position where I am subject to serious critique. As long as I am not asking for money, people are kind when commenting about my work. The current piece, is, after all, my first. Not my last, for sure. but I have a long way to go before I have the confidence in my work to offer it for sale - and therefore, critique.

I have not used any yet but have heard of stock.xchng. Oh. I can't do an a href link, so here is the URL:

Also, I have never heard them called 'stock market' sites. I have heard them called 'stock libraries'. This may be a US/UK difference, I guess. Hope that helps!
