How Do I Get Into Stock Photography?
Morning! Today, I am so freaking excited about our episode! We are chatting nonstop (literally, I had to start recording almost immediately after we introduced ourselves!) with Aubrey Westlund today all about stock photography, how creatively fulfilling stock photography can be, and how stock photography is a great source of passive income. As someone who sells on Etsy (physical products + digital mockup photos!), I know how often the term “passive income” is thrown around in a lot of online talking spaces but, when Aubrey talks about passive income opportunities within stock photography, she totally knows what she’s talking about! And best of all? She’s so willing to share!
So! You know what to do! Pull up your editing list, grab your fave drink (mine’s a homemade iced vanilla latte this morning!), and stretch your cheeks a bit. You’re about to laugh so much + feel so inspired by everything Aubrey is sharing with us. She has such a fresh take on stock imagery and this episode is so freaking fun!
