As regular readers will be aware I have my fingers in allot of pies in terms of my affiliate work. For some time now I have been selling photographs (photography is one of my hobbies) on several stock photography sites. The sales of these bumble along bringing in a little bit of cash.
The affiliate side of this comes from referring other photographers to these services. Yesterday I logged into one of my accounts, which due to the recent birth of my first child I have not logged into for several months, and to my surprise I was greeted to a balance of over $600.
A small proportion of this was from selling my own photographs but the rest was from referred members, indeed one particular member who has sold over 300 images in 2 months.
Okay I am not about to retire on $600 but this is as the song says ‘Money for Nothing’ and what is more I will continue to earn from these reffered members as their portfolios grow and their sales continue.

Wow, that is very cool. I always wondered how much money was to be made on those stock photo sites as with the number of images listed on them it’s easy to think that the competition would be quite intense.
But referring people on to it seems a whole lot easier than waiting for your photos to sell.
