How to sell photography

Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

Anyone sell their photography to newspapers,magazines,advocates etc?

I am curious how most small newspaper outlets work? Do they contract photographers? Do they purchase off stock image sites? Do they hire full time photographers? I am looking for information on contract work and stock image sites.

1. Most newspapers will accept free lance photos of particular events. I sell a few. If you are expecting to make a bunch of money selling your photos, you will be truly disappointed. Unless of coarse you get exclusive photos of high profile celebrities or events.
2. Most newspapers use freelance photographers, though magazines do hire them. TINT for example is hiring i think go to their website. its an online job too. you simply submit your photographs.
3. A freelancer has the right to lease (not sell) their work in any market they wish. I recommend that you purchase the book "Photographer's Market 2007" for more leads than you can handle. The money in photojournalism is not great... maybe $25 for a one time usage right. If you have the right stock you can make a few hundred dollars but you release the image for a byline... and can never commercially use the image again. You could luck up and get some really great images that you will receive a little more for... but remember, the more money you make the more rights you are selling to the image. beaux
