STEP #2: Leverage on your strength

Step #2 in this series…

Here are a few important questions you must ask yourself before you start a career in microstock photography:

  • What are you passionate about?
  • What special knowledge do I have?
  • What special knowledge can I easily access?

Working with something you like is a pleasure and working with something you hate is a nightmare. In other words, don’t try to enter the market “animal photography” if you are allergic to them.

Markets you have special knowledge in and special access to can be very lucrative, especially if they are difficult to access by others.
