Conceptual images are very popular and very marketable.
Images that can be used for a wide variety of uses sell well. Conceptual images that show ideas like happiness, fear, safety, business success, real estate, growth, etc. are great because almost any industry can use them if they are general concepts. If you review our "Most Popular Images" (see link at left) you will notice that conceptual images are the best sellers overall.

Also very popular:
Business images, images showing diversity, age, seniors, white, black, asian, hispanic, indian, etc., food shots, sports, travel, vacations, wedding images, sexy, conceptual, family images, spa, massage, workouts, office, corporate.

Rules for Uploading
It is critically important to read and understand the Terms and Conditions for Uploading pages. They describe the laws surrounding what can and can't be uploaded due to copyright laws.

All uploaded images MUST be taken or created by you personally in order to ensure that you have legal ownership rights of the image, and they must not contain identifiable trademarks within the photo such as logos or storenames. Artwork must be 100% created by you. You cannot use art from other sources to incorporate into your artwork.

Making Money with bgiimages.com
The more photos you upload the higher chance of making more money with bgiimages.com. The subject matter and quality of the photos also plays a key role. We have Need  a list of very Good Photos here and supplying photos from this list may increase your likelihood of making $$ as well. Lastly, the creativity and judgement used in your photographs will be a big factor in how often your photos are downloaded - the more creative and attractive and striking your work is the more downloaded it will probably be.

Your Photo Copyright Stays With You
By uploading your photos here, you do not lose or sign over your rights to your photo's copyright. The copyright stays with you. By uploading your work here you do give bgiimages.com the right to sell the use of your photo, and to receive a commission for each download of your photo.

Receive commissions whenever your total reaches $30 or more
You can request a commission payout whenever your earned commission totals $30 or more - and you can receive the commission via Paypal, Moneybookers, or check ($50 needed for check request).

Images must be online for 90 days minimum
When you submit your images to the bgiimages.com image approval process, you are agreeing to let us have a chance to sell them for you and earn commissions for you for at least 90 days. This rule is necessary to discourage users from uploading all their images then changing their minds after having us go through the time and cost intensive approval and photo editing process.
