If you are new to freelance photography and trying to sell your photos, follow these six simple steps:
- Take pictures keeping in mind what and how to present to the widest audience;

best pictures that you like, and make thumbnails of the absolute best of that collection;
- Make a search using freelance-market.net to find several magazines that are
interested in that subject;
- Submit a request to an editor and attach thumbnails; if you have a story
associated with pictures, indicate that;
- Once you get confirmation of acceptance from the editor, submit pictures as the
editor indicates – burned on CD, by email or uploaded to magazine’s FTP site;
- Be patient and wait ... but wait, you can submit the same pictures to more than
one magazine!
