Did you ever think a money-making kid’s project could be fun also? I’m about to tell you about one.
Websites exist on the Internet for a very specialized purpose; providing content for image projects. These sites stock thousands of photos to loan to people who need them. The “loaning” part is where our money-making kid’s project comes into play.
Stock photo site users come from the backgrounds of advertising, website developers, graphic designers and many others. Instead of trying to shoot or otherwise obtain the photos themselves, they save a lot of money and time by “renting” the images from a site like this. Part of that rent could flow into our money-making kid’s project.
Our idea goes like this. You don’t need to be a professional photographer to participate. As long as you meet their quality standard, stock photo sites welcome everyone. You may have to pass muster by submitting some sample images up front, but from then on it’s clear sailing. Then when a user wants to download one of your photos, they pay the website a fee and you get a portion as a commission. The nut of our money-making kid’s project.
Commissions vary, but most are around 20% of the download fee. The prices of the downloads go from about $.30 for the tiniest of images to over $8.00 for the largest. The amount of money may not seem huge per download, but think in terms of the hundreds or even thousands of downloads that some photos get. That’s making some real dough and filling up the piggy bank for our money-making kid’s project.
Using a digital camera and computer are usually no problem for kids after age ten or so. And if you already own these two devices, you’re can go into this money-making kid’s project with no real costs. The return on investment will be almost all profit.
You just need to be aware of a couple of other things.
Stock photography sites may have a minimum age requirement of 18 to participate, so one parent or the other will be required to do the sign-up. If you convince yourself this is going to be more of a “family”, money-making kid’s project anyway, this shouldn’t be a problem for most. After getting them started you can stay with it or give them the username and password.
Second, as mentioned, the quality of the photos should be very good. These sites want users to see the excellence of their stock so they’ll come back again and again. A good suggestion might be to spend time perusing the sites and looking at other submissions to get an idea of what will work for your money-making kid’s project.
If you do this part together with your child and discuss the images as you scroll around, they will quickly understand the importance of the quality of photos to be uploaded. A campaign depends on both quality and creativity to be a successful money-making kid’s project. Shoot some photos of your own and try to think of more subjects you could include. This should be a fun and exciting time in the project.
Young minds are full of ideas and fresh ones at that. Open minds are not burdened with old ways of looking at things. They take in everything and process it as new material perhaps coming up with great new ideas. This could give any money-making kid’s project campaign a huge lift and could literally put you in the money.
There may not be much action in your money-making kid’s project at first, but give it time. Those photos will be up there a long time. Just keep feeding new content and eventually you’ll start seeing some action. This is more of a marathon than a sprint.
