I was looking around trying to find some ways to make extra cash and I found out about selling pictures and images. You can get paid quite a lot. I put more info on my blog http://chachingqueen.blogspot.com/
Like to take pictures? Do you have some nice photographs? You could possibly make some money off of them.
There are many sites where you can upload your photos and start making money.
Here are a few:

You images sell for different amounts depending on the site. Some sites let you pick the price, while other have a set amount.

Basically you upload your high quality pics and they choose which they want. If they pick any of yours, you get paid every time someone downloads/uses your image.

I would make sure the photos are copy written before I put them up. Anyone could download it and use it anywhere or they could sell it.
I am not a photographer nor am I interested in it but that is a great way to make some cash.

When you upload you are allowing people to use your photo however they want. You can also choose to sell the exclusive copyright to it - of course you make more then.

For a more realistic amount of money you could always check out the Photographers Market for 2009 which should have probably already came out already. It just provides places to send your photos in and possibly get them put in magazines and such & make a one-time fee, or possible super high residual depending on how often the company uses your picture. I know of all these, though. Minus dreamstime, that one's new to me!

how did thouse sites work? I`m payed only if i`m rated by others ? Or how? Because a computer can`t know if my picture it`s pretty or not. It must be something, because if it was just the computer, i would take 1000 pictures and i`ll have a lot of money in just one hour. NO/? So, can you tell me more about thouse sites? i`m really interested.

You get paid when others download your photos. Many of these sites have paying subscribers that are looking for photos for their business.

I have many times thought about putting some stock photos on those sites. I heard it is not as easy as just putting any photo on there. You usually have to have many photos to peak interest and they also have to be good quality. You can even see by viewing their most popular that those are very well done commercial quality photos.
That is great that you are doing so well with them! I still have my photos waiting for me to give it a try :o).
