Hi everyone! I work full time and have an energetic preschooler, so my free time is pretty scarce. I love taking photos and have a decent collection sitting on my computer, and I keep hearing that selling stock photos can bring in some extra money. I’m not sure where to begin though. Which platforms are easiest for beginners, and what’s a realistic time investment to expect? Any tips for keeping the process low-effort — batching shoots, quick edits, keywording shortcuts, that kind of thing — would be really helpful. Also, if people or kids are in the shots, how strict are model releases? I’d love advice on how to fit this into evenings or nap times without getting overwhelmed. Thanks!
