The most exciting, hottest place you can showcase your photography, art, galleries, web pages, etc. is through social networking. Many people find that using myspace or facebook is a fabulous way to get their name out and easily increase targeted traffic. Mostly because it is in a friendly, casual, virtual atmosphere and extremely easy to make new connections with new and interesting people. Now, there is a social network with a much sweeter deal: This is not only the perfect vehicle to display your photography /art, meet others with similar interests, post blogs on your upcoming events, projects, etc., but the best news is that Yuwie PAYS you and everybody for every action you take on your profile, blog, uploading pictures, updating your profile, or any time anyone views your profile, pics, videos, etc. They take their advertising money and pay you 10% of their revenue share rate. The real money comes in when you refer people to sign up. You get paid on 10 tiers of referrals, and that includes getting paid for every cpm on your downline. You make the largest share, 30% on the 10th level. Although I used to cringe at pyramid schemes, this has some major differences and advantages:
How much can you make with Yuwie? Here's an example: say you only make 50 cents per ever 1000 page views / actions, and you only get 3 referrals, and each of them get 3 referrals down to the 10th level, and each of those people get 1000 views or actions on their account, you can make just under $10,000 in a month. The power is in the leverage. If each of you had only 100 page views in 1 month ... that is still $1000. I would never hesitate in recommending a new favorite restaurant, so why not recommend a social networking place where everybody can make a little extra cash while making new friends and still having the ability to do a little self promotion. Check out the introductory video at Yuwie. It explains just how simple and viral it is. Check out my profile: |

I have made some pretty decent money with very few uploads at 2 different Froyalty Free Sites:
I only have 29 photos uploaded with dreamstime and have made $79.50 so far. I have only uploaded a couple of my photo art creations here as a means for others to view my other photo stores. 1 of my images has been downloaded 43 times here, and it's black and white counterpart has been downloaded 15 times. At 43 downloads I am at level 3,so the absolutte minimum I can make off of each download from this image is $1.80 for every download.

Stock Photos, Search and Download Now!
This is another very similar site to Dreamstime. it has a similar pay structure too. I have actually made about the same amount of money at Big Stock Photos as I have at Dreamstime. However, I only have 19 photos uploaded with them. One of my photos has been downloaded 63 times and another one has beren downloaded 36 times. So, I think it is slightly easier to sell your work here. The one downfall is that once you upload, Big Stock requires that you keep each file on with them for a minimum of 9 months. That is why I have uploaded a little more with Dreamstime. I would prefer to be able to delete my images at my discretion. However, images are more easily accepted here.
Pros:
Cons:
You will Make 50 cents to $3.00 per download and up to $60.00 per download each for Special Licensing downloads!
