Amateur photographers should seek out microstock agencies.
Microstock photo agencies cater to novice photographers who are passionate about taking pictures, want to share their work with others, and are interested in generating cash from the process.
It's important to keep in mind that while there is no fee to post photos on a microstock site, companies do not accept all images.
Each microstock photo agency employs a team of reviewers who methodically look at every picture submitted and rate it according to technical quality, as well as artistic and commercial merit.
In addition, prices for your pictures are often (but not always) determined by the microstock agency and are typically based on image size.
