Here’s A Money-Making Kid’s Project
This just in! How would you like to find a money-making kid’s project that’s not only potentially lucrative, but fun at the same time? I’ll tell you all about it.
Ever hear of websites that are structured solely to provide image content to tens of thousands of people who need them for their ads, graphics, website building or similar projects? Not many have outside the business. They’re called stock photography sites and are at the root of the idea for a money-making kid’s project.
Individuals and companies in the media world are looking for fresh content constantly to put into their work designing pamphlets, making advertisements, etc. Rather than hire a photography firm to go out and hopefully bring back something worthy, people instead go to stock photography sites and search their images. It saves a lot of time and money, but also provides an excellent source of opportunity for our money-making kid’s project.
The whole concept of our money-making kid’s project is as follows. Anyone can submit photos to a stock photo website, as long as it meets their standards. They might want to judge some of your photos up front, but then it’s all fun after that. If a user sees one of your images and wants to use it, they then pay a fee to the website owner and you get a piece of that as your commission. That’s it! It’s that simple.
The commissions can vary some by site, but generally are around 20% of the total fee. Download fees are staggered by the size of the image, but the money will go from around $.30 per download up to over $8.00. 20% of those fees doesn’t sound like much, but if multiplied hundreds of time potentially, it makes our money-making kid’s project sound pretty nice.
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.
Just two other things need to be discussed.
Most stock photo sites have an age requirement. Eighteen is the minimum age allowed to sign up for an account. In this case one of the parents may need to be involved in the account sign-up phase. If you have a problem with this why not try to think of this money-making kid’s project as more of family fun project, which it truly may become. You can share the login information.
Quality is everything to owners of stock photo sites. They have competition too and know if they allow bad material to be uploaded, the users may go elsewhere the next time they need something. Study their rules very closely and look at numerous examples of current photos on the site to get familiar with what they want and allow. This is a very serious concern to consider, but one that can be worked with. Just understand, to have a successful money-making kid’s project you need them, they don’t need you.
You should probably spend quite a bit of time with your child in the early stages of setting up the money-making kid’s project just so they understand the seriousness of this point. This should probably get done before you even start the sign-up process. Take some practice photos and discuss them. Compare them with ones you find on the site. The whole thing will get to be pretty natural after a while.
Further, a child usually possesses a mind full of new ways to look at things. They are not stuck yet on looking at the world in the same old way as adults sometimes do. This one quality may put them at the head of the line with new and exciting content for a prosperous money-making kid’s project.
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.
