And that's the main thing to bear in mind, make it something you do for pleasure. Unfortunately, since the advent of digital cameras, half the population of the world seems to be into stock photography.

This makes it more about 'numbers' than quality images. With 15 images, you've got more chance of making money from the lottery than photography.

I've got nearly 9000 images with the stock library I use, and probably only sell 5 images a month, even though my photos get looked at a lot - because there is so much competition these days.

That said, a friend just sent me an image she sold with Stockimo (the library for camera-phone images) to ask if I would re-size for a print, as someone else want to buy it. She's probably only got 10 images with Stockimo, so you never know!
