As a Contributor who wants to be able to be successful in working and selling photos in an effort to make money on dreamstime as a photographer, the things to remember and pay attention to are:
1. Paying attention to photo quality as the best work. Good photo quality should pay attention to the length and width and the size of the file in Mega bytes. The larger the size of the photo taken, the better it is to sell. Because buyers are diverse for various purposes, can be for printing or for purposes online or for advertising purposes or also for resale. Good quality means paying attention to the condition of the object, it includes the focus of the photo, the conditions of environmental brightness when taken,good background conditions in the sense of being beautiful and clear (except the background that was blurred with shooting techniques). etc.
2. pay attention to the type of digital camera that will be used. What kind of pocket digital camera or DSLR digital camera type? As the perfection of the results of photography should be use any type of compact DSLR camera. But the latest DSLR cameras and expensive prices are the best choices because they will certainly produce photos that satisfy our minds. But if we only have a pocket digital camera that is still good enough to be able to produce photos that are worth selling, because in Dreamstime there is no prohibition for that or the rules for using certain standard cameras.
3. Paying attention to the number of photos we upload and photos that have been successfully received by Dreamstime are two factors that cannot be underestimated. The more photos you have received on Dreamstime, the greater your chance for success in making money on Dreamstime as a photograher.
4. Pay attention to the optimization techniques of each of our photos that have been and will be uploaded on Dreamstime. It's important to dominate the search results pages through dreamstime's search engines for certain keywords. The better the optimization technique, the wider the opportunity for sales because it can beat the same type of photo between tens or hundreds of thousands of photos on there.
The four things above mentioned are general matters and must be considered by every photographer in an effort to make money on dreamstime as a photographer if they wish to become successful in doing business there.
In detail, there are several steps that are quite valuable for a contributor who want to make money on dreamstime as a photographer that can be taken and practiced according to my experience as long as they are in Dreamstime.
1. Research first on the types of photos that will be uploaded for sale. This research uses certain keywords consisting of 1 word or 2 to 3 words. The purpose of this research is to find out how many photos of that type have been streamed at this time. The fewer numbers of photos on there will be the greater our chance to successfully make sales in this type of photo. Another purpose of this research is to find out what photos have achieved best selling now on there based on the keywords that we choose. After finding out about the best selling photos on there, the next step is to take photos of the object with the same technique. The techniques here is include object, background, lighting, focus, shooting angle, shooting distance and optimization techniques. But all of that is must be based on our own style. So basically we do the copy paste step on photos that have become the best selling in Dreamstime on selected keywords.
2. Open and read e-mail sent by Dreamstime to our e-mail address regarding the type of photo that was trending at that time. Every month Dreamstime always sends emails about this problem. We will do the copy paste step also for the trending photos just like the steps on the best selling photos above. But this step is sometimes rather difficult to do, because sometimes photos that are trending on there are difficult to be copy paste.
3. Uploading as many photos as possible to the types of photos we seek, such as photos that are on best selling or photos that are trending according to our abilities. The more photos we upload and what can be accepted by Dreamstime, the more chance we sell it and the greater our chances of being successful. Another thing we should pay attention to is the dreamstime acceptance number of each photo we upload. The bigger the number, the better. The large number of photos we upload does not necessarily produce large revenue figures. sometimes small amounts of photos that we upload can produce large receipts. the reason for dreamstime sometimes doesn't make sense.In my opinion, technically, our photos are good, but sometimes they don't have a selling value according to Dreamstime, so that's where our photos are greatly rejected. So we need to have experience in honing our instincts. We cannot learn this anywhere except based on experience alone.
4. Perform Optimization techniques on every photo that we will and have uploaded on Dreamstime. The purpose of implementing this technique is that the photo is able to occupy the top position or on the first page of search results on the dreamstime search engine based on certain keywords. This search engine optimization technique is on the point is the placement of keywords that have been selected in the title, description, and in the keyword box. The selected keywords can consist of 1, 2 or 3 words simultaneously In the titles of each of our photos, the number of keywords should be only one and best placed in the front row of the title.While laying out keywords in the description from every photo we have there it should be done repeatedly in several different sentences.
5. Before taking pictures of objects, some things should be noted below:
-- Distance of objects to the camera. the closer the distance, the better the results of our photos. Except for photos of natural landscapes which we should use a compact DSLR camera because it can produce more satisfying photos.
-- Pay attention to weather conditions and the brightness of the surrounding environment. Is it bright or cloudy. The brighter the better the results of our photos.
-- Pay attention to the position of the sun on the object to be shot or the position of the camera against the sun. With the position when shooting behind the sun will produce better photos.
-- Setting up our digital camera before taking a photo. The choice of camera settings on the largest size in shooting mode is the best choice for producing good photos.
== Noting the background environment of the object that will be shot. the better and beautiful the background, the more satisfying the photos will be.
Our success as a contributor in the effort to make money on dreamstime as a photographer is a natural dream of everyone and it is only a matter of time. Temporary failure is only part of delayed success.The most common thing faced by someone in building a business to make money or success in the real world or in the virtual world is self motivation. Often a person will be seized with a sense of boredom and frustration or forgetting which will affect work patterns and results, then motivating yourself is the only way to stay on track so as to succeed.
