You may have heard about the microstock model that is gaining traction in the stock photography world. If you've got a digital camera--or a film camera and a scanner--you can submit your digital photographic images for sale at Shutterstock. Shutterstock will inspect them and if they pass the quality control, they will store them in their online library which their subscribers search for imagery. For each download you will earn 25¢. This doesn't seem like much, but if you build a substantial collection of images, it can add up. They also have various other ways to add to your earnings, such as a per-image sales site and a referral program.

This sample image is one of my popular pictures on Shutterstock. It qualifies as royalty free because there are no identifiable people without model releases, no logos, and no other imagery which would disqualify me from selling it.
