How to get money for your photos

Surely you have tried to upload your work to Instagram or other social networks and perhaps without much success. How to get money for your photographs should be one of the questions that one asks the most. After spending a lot of time on projects, not getting results for them is sure to be a drag.

One of the applications that is raising more expectations is Ágora Images. A photography platform for -for now- iOS. And that is their great limitation, although they say they work to have it as soon as possible. Nor is it the only thing they work on, since they want to have the web version available as soon as possible for more than information.

Agora Images is a photo storage platform where professionals and amateurs work. There is a voting regime called 'stars'. Each and every one of the users will be able to vote on any photograph by giving it one star or one hundred. Where if you give a hundred, it is because it seems like a very special photo and you consider that it should be in your library. Of course, these hundred stars are not infinite and must be earned or paid for. A star if you can give it at any time to any photograph.

Improve your level. Raise the price of your photos

The stars serve to give a status to the person who receives them. If you are one of the lucky ones who receives many stars in each photograph, you can sell your next creations for more money. The fact that you give stars serves to be viewed by others who may at the same time correspond to you if they find your profile interesting.

Earn money creating images

Selling your photos is not yet available, but it is not the only way to earn money. There is what they call #Request -contests- that request companies that are associated with the application itself. Like for example, Wallapop. Companies that need images with a specific theme that use Ágora contests to get them. Always, of course, in exchange for a reward. And it is not small, it is usually between € 100 and € 300, sometimes even more.

The #Request is a contest in which a company requests a specific image from AGORA users. Among all the images presented, the company will buy the image that interests it the most at the previously established price

Of course, the competition is immense and not everything is given away. But it depends on your artistic quality, you can be one of the beneficiaries in one of the hundreds of contests that are promoted. This adds to the followers you gain in the application and in your other social networks, which can get you a photographic status for the future.

Share EVERYTHING

When you share, you don't just let people who don't have this application see your images, Ágora also gives you 50 stars every time you do it through facebook, so you can follow. In your profile you will find your photo album with which to share everything.

If you are a company, this interests you too

Within the web section there is an option that directs the business public, since Agora would not work so well if the companies were not present. Companies are those that participate in its most functional system, such as the #Request -which we have already talked about before-. In order to participate in them and obtain the quality images they need, they must contact Agora Images.

Normally getting in touch with these types of applications is usually a headache, because they have various types of contact and sometimes they do not answer or it seems that they are abandoned. But this is not the case with Agora. You can write directly to hello@agoraimages.com and they will facilitate your work.

It must be clarified that this contact does not serve private persons, since many of you will be wondering how to contact them to report a problem, well, there is another email that is the support one and that is on their own website for users.
