I was wondering if anyone here had made use of, or made money out of the photo sections at triond, or constant content. I know alot of writers have positive experiences with these sites, how about the photographers...?

I have been having a lot of success with my photos on Triond! Besides photos, I also submit articles, videos and audio. Of all the content I submit, my top 4 highest earners are all photos. My fifth highest earner is an article about photography. My 6th, 7th and 8th highest earners are all photos. My 9th highest earner is another article about photography. And my 10th highest earner is another photo. One nice thing about Triond is that they have a very low pay out rate! You only need to earn 50 cents to get paid for the month! As for constant content, I just recently joined. I submitted a handful of illustrations. I haven't submitted any photos yet. And I haven't had any sales yet. The difference between Triond and Constant Content is that on Triond, you get paid when people view your images. On Constant Content, you get paid when people buy your images. Constant Content is a lot like stock photography websites. You can either sell the full rights to your images, or sell a license to use your image. I've had a lot more success by selling my photos on stock websites such as http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=2197 that it makes more sense to put my efforts into selling my photos on that site than selling my photos on Constant Content. I think most of the buyers on Constant Content are more interested in buying articles than photos. When buyers need photos, they go to stock photography websites.

I only have two photo's up on Triond, and none on CC. So far I haven't made anything with them. I don't make much of anything yet with Triond anyway though. I have sold three articles with Constant Content so far though.
