$170K From Practicing Photography

Today, I’ve got a globe-trotting legend, Charles Wollertz, who's been snapping away for over a decade.

In a recent video, he spills the beans on how he raked in a whopping $170K from stock photography.

Don't get too excited, though – it didn't happen overnight. This is the result of a 10-year marathon, not a sprint.

On average, he's been pulling in about $16,000 a year, selling his photos through agencies.

Now, hold onto your cameras 'cause here's the kicker: that $170K is just his 30% cut from sites like Shutterstock.

Do the math, and you'll see he's sold over a cool half a million dollars' worth of pics! Boom, math skills!

But Charles isn't just rolling in dough – he's juggling this gig as a side hustle.

He got started while learning the ropes, snapping away every time he was mastering a new technique.

But what makes Charles a rockstar?

Imagine getting 500 photos rejected and still coming back for more next week.

That's next-level grit and determination. Charles doesn't just sit there scratching his head with a rejection slip.

He snapped pics of everything—trees, toasters, sunsets, that weird squirrel in his backyard. You name it, he probably has a photo of it!

So, yeah, $16,000 a year might not sound like he's rolling in the big bucks, but remember, this is just his side hustle! 

So, what's the moral of the story?

Grab your passion by the horns, dive in, and who knows? A little while from now, you might be the one pulling in some cash from a side gig you love... But you will never know unless you get started.
