Your online business will quickly let you get a good reputation. The more number of sales you close, the more feedbacks, exposure and popularity you get.

People will talk about your product in forums, recommend it to their friends, etc. From here on, the number of your customers will only rise.

nashjohn30 asked:


I heard from my professor that stocks can be bought, sold, sold short and covered. But what exactly does selling short and covering mean. How would I apply selling short and covering when it comes to buying stocks?
Why does the seller need to borrow the stock from someone else’s account? If he’s the seller it’s his stock right? I get the buying it back at a lower price part, but why does the seller have to buy the stock back if it goes to a higher price and make a loss?

Jason Kay asked:


Stories of ordinary people becoming millionaires overnight with the help of some wonderful programs are flooding us from all directions and even though many of these stories are exaggerated at best and total lies at worst, there are many ways in which you can make money, even if you are not a unique talent. Well, I don’t mean that photography does not require talent, but even beginner photographers can make money by selling their photos. Most likely you will not make your first million selling photos, but this is a viable way to earn some extra cash. Photos are a product and as with all products, you need to know what to offer and where to sell it.

What You Can Sell

For those people, who have no idea about photography, a photo is just a photo, but for people who are familiar with photography and arts in general, there are separate distinct groups of photos. The most obvious distinction of photos is based on their content, but for the purposes of selling photos, this distinction is not as important as what the photo can be used for.

The two major uses of photos are for the Web and in print. Web photos tend to be low resolution and lower quality is acceptable for them, while print photos generally are high resolution and low quality is unacceptable. As a beginner photographer, you will most likely target the Web market first because the entry barrier there is not as high as with the printing market. Additionally, if your camera is not a high-end one, your skills in photo processing will hardly be able to compensate for this, so in this case, print photos are not an option for you because of technical reasons. This shouldn’t discourage you because the Web market is vast and there is a lot of space for beginners.

The main buyers on the Web market are Web designers, who make sites for their clients. For many Web designers it is much easier and cheaper to buy ready-made photos than to take the pictures themselves. A solo Web designer can make 10 or even more middle-sized sites a month, which means that he or she will need at least 200-300 photos and illustrations. This does not mean that you will be able to sell 200-300 photos a month to each Web designer you contact, but even if you manage to sell him or her 10-20 photos a month, or more realistically a batch of several hundred photos for him or her to use in the next year, then you can make a lot of money.

Similar to other arts, photography also has genres. Not surprisingly, photos of people, nature and cities sell best. Another category, which is especially popular with designers, is objects of different kinds. You can shoot a light bulb, a pen, some pills, or whatever object you choose, and this may be enough. Add some unobtrusive background to it and you get a cool photo for a Web site. But be careful with copyrights because not all manufacturers will be happy if you shoot their products and make money from this. Try shooting generic products, which have no visible branding.

Similar copyright issues apply to people. If you want to shoot people and you want to be on the safe side, ask them to sign a model contract, which clarifies all the issues in regard to copyrights and sales. Very often you won’t have to hire professional models and you can shoot your friends and relatives instead. Your models don’t have to be extremely beautiful because pictures of ordinary people also sell well. Shooting friends and relatives has one more advantage - they work cheaply or free.

Nature and urban photos are always in demand, but avoid photos which look as if they were taken by tourists because they simply look too unprofessional to be sold. Abstractions are also popular, so if you are creative with PhotoShop or another image processing program you can wake up the Picasso in you.

Where You Can Sell

The type of photos you have is one of the major factors in choosing your sales channels. Basically, the options to sell your photos are the following:

1. Stock photo sites. Stock photo sites are the most popular sales channel. Stock photos are photos you have already taken, i.e. you have in stock. You open an account with a stock photo site, upload your images and every time somebody downloads your photo, you earn a commission. Different sites have different policies, but it’s not unusual to earn $40 per photo each time it is downloaded.

If your photos are popular, it is not impossible to reach dozens of downloads per week. One of the prerequisites for success is to submit sought after photos and to use the right keywords in the descriptions of your photos. The best stock photo site I have found is Shutterpoint. They provide photographers an e-commerce store-front for selling photos, handle advertising and promotion, handle all purchase transactions, provide customer service, and securely deliver images to buyers. All of these features are provided for a very reasonable fee, and in addition, other members often provide valuable feedback on your photos. This is a great way to begin your career as a professional photographer.

2. Stock agencies. Stock agencies are similar to stock photo sites, but in addition to listing your photos, they consult buyers and handle all the legal and logistical matters. Stock agencies usually deal with professional photographers mainly but there are stock agencies, which are beginner-friendly. As with stock photo sites, you usually have to decide (if you have the choice of course) whether you want to sell exclusive rights or only per use rights.

3. Sell directly to newspapers and magazines. Although this is hardly the easiest way to sell your photographs, it is worth trying. Newspapers and magazines are a very tough market to get into but can be a very high paying one. For a start, you can try your local or community media.

4. eBay and similar auctions. Auction sites, such as eBay, are one more sales outlet you can try. Yes you really can earn decent income from selling photos on eBay. This is a good alternative if you sell other products in addition to photos, but even if photos are the only thing you sell, eBay and the other auction sites can do a lot for you. Make sure to avoid small and dark photos. Listings should be created which are descriptive and include realistic prices. Check the Completed Listings option when searching to see examples of photos which have sold.

5. Freelance sites. Unlike the other options listed up to here, freelance sites are generally a place for work for hire projects. This means that usually a buyer comes and asks you to make some photos especially for him or her, but very often there are buyers who offer to purchase your already made (or stock) photos as well.

6. Your own website. Even if the other options work great for you, having your own website is a valuable sales channel. You can offer everything you like - i.e. low resolution mockups for free, paid downloads, etc. The downside is that you need to market your site, otherwise you will hardly get much traffic and, respectively, sales. Search engine optimization is a must and if you are really serious about selling your photos via your website, you can even consider starting an affiliate program.

7. Free samples. These days advertisements are something one can hardly sell without. Instead of launching an expensive campaign, you can give photos away for free but keep your logo on them. This is a kind of advertisement and it will bring you new customers.

Andrew Wilson asked:


You can stop home repossession by sell and rent back scheme. Sell and rent back means a property cash buyer may buy your house quickly and deposit cash in your bank account within a few days.  You may be worried after selling your house where will you stay. But your problem can be solved as you can stay in the same house as a tenant.  If you sell your house through a property cash buyer you may receive 75% of market value. It is very difficult to sell a house in the falling market. So majority of homeowners choose sell and rent back because they are desperate to move house or wish to stop repossession.

If you sell your house through a real estate agent it may take a few months or sometimes a few years also. But with the help of sell and rent back scheme you quickly sell your house. Sell and rent back normally covers legal fees and the availability of a property cash buyer means that there is no 1-2% estate agent fee.

If you sell your house through sell and rent back you can prevent home repossession, sell the house quickly, no estate agent and legal fees, affordable rent etc.  A sell and rent back means that seller has to pay low monthly rentals.

There are other reasons for people to sell their house. One of the main reasons is because of financial difficulties.  If you want immediate cash, then sell and rent back would be the best solution. If you sell your house through sell and rent back scheme, you can stay in the same house. Children need not change schools and you don’t have to look after another house. Other reason for a person wanting to sell his house is he might be in debt, he might have a lower income now or there might be a break up in relationship. His son or daughter might be going in for further studies for which money might be needed or he might have planned a dream holiday for which money in a lump sum may be needed. Whatever the reason, the whole process will be over quickly for both the seller and the buyer. The house that you rent back can be taken on lease for a minimum of ten years that can be renewed. This lease can be taken for a longer time, if necessary.

In great financial difficulties, when people are afraid of losing their homes, sell and rent back facility is definitely a great solution.

Chris V asked:


I have sold over 400 cars on eBay. It just doesn’t seem to be like it used to be. Cars aren’t selling for as much money. People used to fly in and buy cars from all over. Now I only get local people. I am selling them for more and faster in the local newspaper. Also, 1/2 the people that are top bidder don’t even pay. It’s just not barely worth it anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? If so, why?
Haha, well now that you say it…..I had a conversation with my dad today about him getting a car on eBay. I wasn’t even thinking from the buyer’s side……but I told him no way because I have bought 2 Corvettes and a 350Z from reputable dealers on eBay. All 3 promised me no paintwork. There was paintwork on ALL 3. One even had the nerve to try to get me to sign a “paintwork disclosure” after I drove 300 miles when promised “NO PAINTWORK” liars.
