Most people scroll through vacation photos and move on. Alexandra, a 25-year-old TikTok creator, turns hers into profit.
While vacationing in Aruba, she shared that she made $12,000 selling photos from her trip. Her process is simple: take quality photos of food, drinks, and scenic shots, then sell them to companies that need fresh content.
She charges $120 per photo and says there’s endless demand. “Every company needs photos,” she explained, “and they’re willing to pay for them.”
Here’s how you can try it:
- Go through your phone and pick your best travel or lifestyle photos.
- Edit lightly for brightness and clarity.
- Search for brands or small businesses in your niche. Restaurants, travel agencies, and lifestyle brands buy visuals regularly.
- Email them a few samples with a short pitch and your price per image.
- Track responses and build a small portfolio as you go.
You don’t need followers or fancy gear. You need a sharp eye and consistency.
