• 3. Introduction Hello! I have written this eBook in an attempt to show you how you can earn money with something – I suspect – you use all the time. It’s a well-known fact that you will never get rich working for someone else. But it’s very hard to really appreciate this until you take the plunge and start working for yourself. I took the leap to do this a few years ago, and it is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. The purpose of this eBook is to encourage you to at least think about doing the same - to slowly break away from relying on an employer for your pay check. And that - is a wonderful feeling. Ready?

• 8. You will make money, by submitting (for free) your photos to various photo websites. And you will get paid every time one of your photos is downloaded. And that’s it. These websites are known as STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY websites, and they are ALWAYS looking for new, fresh and creative photos. What exactly does STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY mean? Over to Wikipedia for its definition: “Stock Photography consists of existing photographs that can be used for specific uses. Publishers, magazines, advertising agencies, filmmakers, web designers, graphic artists, corporate creative groups, and many other entities use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments. Someone who uses stock photography instead of hiring a photographer can save time and money. Stock photographs are presented in searchable online databases, and are delivered via download or email.” You now understand what stock photography is, and how many BILLIONS of images are constantly needed in today’s world. Stock Photography is a BOOMING business, because of the simple laws of economics – SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Put simply, there is a HUGE demand for stock photos, all we have to do, is supply.
