\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, take your camera and let us embark on this exhilarating adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is EyeEm, Truly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm is not merely another photo-sharing platform; it is a global community of photographers and visual artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was founded in Germany(Berlin) in 2011 by Florian Meissner, Ramzi Rizk, Gen Sadakane, and Lorenz Aschoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It provides a space where creators can share their work, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and even monetize their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm Marketplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant characteristics of EyeEm is its Marketplace, where photographers can showcase their talents to a broad audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are passionate about photography, this is your opportunity to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can upload your images, and if they capture the attention of a potential buyer, you can earn money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm’s Vision technology is remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze and categorize your photos, making it easier to find the right audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you love landscape photography, portraits, or wildlife, EyeEm’s Vision technology can help your work reach the right viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm Awards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Participating in the EyeEm Awards is an opportunity for global recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a prestigious photography competition that celebrates creativity and originality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm awards are open to everyone, whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining EyeEm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Upon visiting the EyeEm<\/strong> website, if you wish to sell photographs, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the “Sell your photos” option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A window will open where you need to provide basic information, such as your email address and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also register through Facebook if you have a profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon completing the registration, a window for entering personal information will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering Personal Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the “Enter your seller details” option, you must enter your name, surname, country, current address, and postal code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have filled out everything correctly, a message will appear indicating that you are ready to start selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You should have your photos prepared because you can begin uploading with “Start Uploading.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can always return to upload more images from your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommended resolution is 4MP or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm has expanded its offerings, and now you can also attach your illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uploading Images to Your Gallery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With each new image upload, on the right side of the window, you will need to enter some details for potential buyers to understand what is in your picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add caption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, you attach a brief description of what is in the picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to create a description that captures your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Tags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under “Add tags,”<\/strong> input terms directly related to the image description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you named the image “Sunset at Sea,” the tags would include sea, sun, sunset, nature, idyllic, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below the terms, you also have pre-suggested (automatically generated terms), so if you can’t think of a better idea, you can choose them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, as the name suggests, specify the location (country, place, region, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discoverability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the upload window, there is an indicator in the form of a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The better the image description and the more terms you provide, the indicator will increase and change color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the description is detailed enough, it will turn green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means you’ve done a good job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the Upload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By completing the upload, you’ve created your gallery and added your first photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here, you will also need to declare that you are the owner of the photograph and, as a result, you assert copyright to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can choose to upload more images, but since you can do this later, I suggest you go ahead and edit your profile now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing Your Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On your created profile, you will need to enter additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are as important as providing good image descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, you must upload your profile picture and then the text that will be visible beneath the profile picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you provide a short biography and a possible website where more about you can be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have a website, you can contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can publish your short biography and a brief gallery on the “Your Works” page to enhance your reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email Address Confirmation and Account Activation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t already, to finally activate your account, find the email address confirmation option on your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After that, you will receive an email that will activate your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you signed up through Facebook and have a different email address there, you will find the email confirmation at that address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Payment Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When one of your images is sold, under the “Payout” option on your profile, you can see all payments made to you and the total amount earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EyeEm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The payment option mentions only payouts through a PayPal account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you must also link the email you use for payment to PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How You Get Paid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You cannot define the price; it is defined by the current market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm takes a small commission and, by selling the image, essentially gives away your copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission rate is defined in the table in the image and is based on the turnover achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might think that EyeEm is the same as many other similar image-selling websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its advantage lies in the fact that many people involved in photography use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With less competition, you’ll achieve results faster than in other places, and earnings from sales are slightly higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EyeEm: Advertising Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To boost the visibility of your profile, especially at the beginning, it is important to advertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your created profile, there is an option to share on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, share on all social networks, and even better, find Facebook groups dedicated solely to photography and share there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"eyeem<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you can see that the number of users accessing this platform monthly is 1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, your work will be accessible to a broad audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
