I do not want to give you advice on photographic technique because they are not the best person.I am almost a beginner's photo, but small care be taken to ensure that your photos receive more visits and then adhere more sales and earnings.
The thing that absolutely can help you get more money is to specialize on some certain sectors.
Check the photos that are sold more as you an idea of what you requested, after some 'shots that you'll find many photos on the same topic as could be, for example, the "Business" or "Health & Wellness"; doing so a buyer who is looking for photos of that notion by visiting your photos might be intrigued by other similar in your portfolio are more likely to sell.
One thing that advice to do is to write key words - in English - on file with a program like Photoshop or similar as I have already explained in keywording, taking great care to include only those relevant words with photography.
For those not familiar with English can identify what are the keywords of the main and do a search for similar photos that are already on sale in the agency from which you can copy the words.
To find similar photos on the Internet there are sites that you can help in finding similar photos as FindPhotoKeywords (
http://www.findphotokeywords.com/ ) or PhotoKeywords (
http://arcurs.com/keywording/ ).
Also, if you're looking for synonyms or words related to a concept you can use Lexical Freenet (
http://www.lexfn.com/ ).
If you're planning to sell the photos to several agencies the next step to do would be to upload new photos before all the Agency CanStockPhoto (
www.canstockphoto.com ) going on Upload Photo -> HTML and selecting the "Auto Keywords". When you go to send the photos to review the site analyzes the metadata and recommend new relevant keywords with those already already entered. You can remove or retain them if they are valid for that photo. In this case, before sending the image to review, you'll want to copy them and put them in the metadata file with Photoshop (or similar program) so when you go to upload the files to other agencies such new words are already present.
After your photos have been accepted on the various agencies something that advice to do is to create collections (lightbox) where certain photos together by theme. Beware that on some sites (such as Dreamstime) you include photos of other photographers to ensure that the tunnel can be seen by other users and often must also contain a minimum number of photos.
Several users sometimes write a post with the title - for example - "Show me your photos of yellow flowers" and the public following her.
It is appended other photographers who show their and maybe some buyer is looking for its yellow flowers, there will find a selection of what they want.
