Usually this can be businesses wanting to use it one time for a project or there are often licenses to enable them to use it on items to resell. Usually the stipulation is you can\u2019t resell the work as is.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part he just left the account stagnant.  One day he realized that he saw his own work on a bunch of Walmart merchandise.  As it turned out a company had paid for an extended license to enable them to use his photos on all these products.  In the end apparently he only made a little over a dollar from the site because of the sale but can\u2019t even claim it as he never maid the minimum payment threshold.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fst3mm3r%2Fvideos%2F1840283596097311%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Overall he was saying lesson learned.  An ideal situation would be that he would get a royalty of some sort for every product sold with his work on it.  But because of the licensing agreement that doesn\u2019t appear to be an option for him.  I guess that is the negative where although stock photography sites make it easy for you to potentially make money be careful as you could be undervaluing your work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a fascinating video I watched as there was a photographer named Michael Stemm who decided to one day use the site Shutterstock where artists can make money selling their photos for a license.
