Two questions for you, How many of you would like an extra $5. How many of you have pictures that you have taken on your phone or ipad? Foap offers smartphone users a chance to earn money from the photos that they have taken. The creates of Foap were disappointed at the quantity and quality of stock photos that are available so they created a marketplace that would incorporate the millions of photos that are taken everyday. Best of all, the photographer can sell the same photo over and over again. Which means you don’t lose your copyright when your photos are sold on Foap. Buyers get non-exclusive rights to your photos, which essentially means that after the sale you can keep using them in any way you want.
Here’s how it works: Download Foap for free. After the signup you start uploading photos from your phone you would like to sell, tagging them (the better you tag them the more likey that they will be discovered in the marketplace), Foap will first have to approve your photos. Those that make it through are put on the market, which is viewable through your own Foap profile page on the Web or via the app. All photos are priced at $10; Foap gets $5, you get $5.
Right now Foap does not have the quickest upload process, so don't go thinking you are going to flood the market with your pictures. Also your photos need to be reviewed by 5 Foap users and average at least a 2 star (out of 50 rating to be put into the market place. There is a catch to get five people to rate your photos, you must rate five photos for each photo that you upload.
Interesting concepts, I am not much a photographer (ask my wife), but it seems like a pretty easy way to earn a little extra cash, especially if you hit it big with a really money maker. I have also heard of companies paying more for photos if they are using them in a variety of ways. So check out Foap, you might just be very glad that you did.
