I am not a photogenic person so I am not very fond of posing for a shot. I seldom join my group in picture taking activities unless it is necessary. I don't even have my own camera for such a long time and never plan in buying my own until the time came that we had to go to Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. I bought a second hand camera. I found out that taking pictures is also fun. Especially that I found out that my daughter is photogenic and she loves to pose. I also started to take pictures of the places I visited. Because of this I also found out that I know how to take pictures. but not for the intention of making money out of it.
Until one time, while I am browsing the net, i came across a blog sharing her experience about this site, Red Gae. she said she earned by just uploading pictures. Wow! That is an interesting statement! I never though of that as possible. Although I came across invitation while I am visiting my TE site but I was not interested because I have not seen any proof so far.
So I signed up and started right away. The members are very friendly too sending friend invitations. I uploaded several pictures and I can monitor the views statistics at real time. This is a great site!
I hope there are also some members of the site from here who can share their knowledge. Thank you in advance and have a great day!

When I read your title , I thought you mean by selling lol.
If your photos, are good, I bet you can earn quite a bit. It also depends on your people skills and your luck. My photography teacher in school used to make a lot of money photographing pictures of a horse racing event for rich people. The fact that her photos were amazing and that the people buying were rich, she make ~35-60 dollars a photo!

Hi mindy! The title should capture the attention of the readers, that's what I've learned from our friends here. Well, I never though of that because I am not a professional photographer myself. But when I join the site, I've realized that I don't need to be a professional in this field in order to earn through pictures.
I am enjoying the site and hopefully I could earn some amount from there. Thank you for sharing!

Hi girl! The truth is I am also planning to buy SLR but I still have to save for it. As of now I am using my camera which I bought second hand. I'm sure my photos will be more beautiful if I have a good camera. Perhaps i could buy this thing if i already earned enough money from my online activities. For me Cannon and Sony are good brands.
Thank you for sharing!

Wow! That is a good activity! I will add the same kind of activity to my list. When you buy any camera, you have to consider also the after sales service or warranty, so be sure to buy from a store near your place or make sure to know the service centers for the brand.
Perhaps you could wait till the Christmas season because this is the time when companies are giving big discounts for their products. Try to make a good research by reading some reviews. You can make comparisons as to which brand and model is the best.
Have a nice day!

Thank you pals! Since I already found a site perhaps I have to try this one first. I know there are still other sites around but it would be very time consuming if I would have to try it all. But on those sites that would give tips on how to get perfect and lovely pictures I would really appreciate if you could share it with us. Thank you for sharing you knowledge on this matter.
Have a nice day!

Still I not heard this earn the money from photos but thanks to share the discussion. But I think this is not easy and not legit. Now lots of fake sites are available. I am not interested to upload my or my friends photo because some worse mind person use these photos and upload on other place and earn money.

Hi sure! I am uploading photos of places, animals, flowers and a lot more things that I had taken from my own camera. Actually, I am not a professional photographer and my camera is just an ordinary one. It is really not that easy. If before I am not very active on twitter, this is the time that I appreciate this site that much. Because views are important and twitter and facebook are good sites for that purpose. As to the reliability of the site, well, I have found several Filipino friends who are members for more than 4 years and I can see they are doing well and enjoying the site.
I actually regarded this site as a tool to develop the creativity in us.
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!

Hi mashnn! That was the only one I know as of now. Perhaps I have to stay with the site in order to be familiarized with the system. Sometimes, if we keep jumping from one site to another, we sometimes lost our focus.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi jane! Thank you for the interest you have given on this topic. I am sharing whatever I learned from my online activities as it might interest others who are looking for some ways to earn additional income. I am also new to this site and I think I can do it while doing my other online activities. I will concentrate more on pictures. I'm glad that you also love to take pictures. Let's try this site so that we may know how much income we can have from there.
Although I know that with myLot, we can have as much as we want. I am still inviting my friends to join me in this site.
Thank you for sharing!

I am on RedGage also but I have been using it only to upload my articles on Yahoo Voices so that I can get more views.
I like the site but know very little about it. I need to explore it more. I forgot that you can earn money uploading photos and maybe even writing for Red Gage.
Thanks for reminding me.

Hi thank you for sharing this site. I just signed up and yet to upload my photos and blogs there. Hope we can earn a decent income from this site. It's good to know that they pay by giving you their own VISA Debit Card when you reach your payout limit. Let's see how it goes. Goodluck to us on our online earnings!
