33) EyeEm – It is one of the biggest names in this list, and with that comes positive and negative points. On the plus side, a huge network of members combined with a scheme that highlights the best new photographers can help a few people make a splash, but it also means that there are millions of other users’ photos that prospective buyers can purchase.
Unlike some of the other ones here, EyeEm doesn’t focus on just being a photo marketplace. Instead, it’s worked to bring together people who love taking and sharing photos by building filters and other tools into the app and found a good way to keep them coming back for more while monetizing the service at the same time.EyeEm boasts of over 18 million members
You can upload any images you want to sell or license to the marketplace, and keep control over all rights (allowing you to assign different levels to different images, for example) at the same time as giving brands and agencies the opportunity to use them for a fee. Alongside the traditional market setup, there are “exhibitions, awards, magazines and Missions” to help entice users to keep coming back.
34) Foap – FOAP is probably one of the best-known platforms for amateur and professional photographers. Download the Foap application (available for both iPhone and Android operating systems) to your smartphone and upload your photos. Once your image receives five positive ratings from other Foap users – your photo will be published for sale. You will earn $5 each time someone purchases your photo. Payments are made via PayPal when the user requests a cashout.
35) Scoopshot – Earn money by completing photo and video assignments via Scoopshot. This moneymaking app is available for both iPhone and Android systems. Money is made from direct photo and video purchases and also via revenue sharing options. Payments are made via PayPal when you request a cashout.
36) Twenty20 – Earn 80% commission on single photo licenses. Earn 20% commission on subscription plan licenses. Available for both iPhone and Android operating systems.
37) Snapwire – like the rest of the apps in this list, gives you the opportunity for the amateur or semi-pro snapper to monetize their passion.
38) Markedshot – Markedshot (and the next item, Dreamstime) are more basic approaches on the marketplace, that focus purely on providing you with that space to sell your photos. As with others though, Markedshot’s main money-making potential can only be realised through competitions.
Instead of a flat $5 fee through the marketplace (of which you get 50%) for each photo, competitions on Markedshot are client-led projects with specific requirements – they may also require you to live in a specific location to be eligible too, as many are for local project requirements.
However, it’s also a little bit different to a general photo marketplace, as the emphasis really is on quality images. That means it might be more attractive for semi-to professional photographers
39) miPic (iOS only)
You Can Earn Money with your Instagram Photos as well :
40) InstaPrints – Simply upload your Instagram photos to InstaPrints and determine your prices. When a customer purchases one of your prints, InstaPrint will finalize all the details. Payments are made on the 15th of each month via PayPal (global) and check (US residents only).
