Making money with photography. A year later!

So a year ago, I made three posts explaining how you can make money selling photos.

Below you can find the links:

I thought it would be interesting to share with you how I did since the original posts.

For clarification, I do not this full time, I already have a large library of files online since ages ago and I will upload new work 1-3 times per year.

So, let's see the juicy stuff!

Below my earnings on Blackbox from 2020 and 2021.

I have earnings on many other platforms but smaller sums therefore I wont be including them here.

To sum up, over the past year I have made around 800 us dollars.

Not exceptionally well but the truth is, I have not put much effort into this.

I will be updating all my online portfolios in Autumn after my holidays where I will get new footage on my drone and action camera!
