Aloha everyone...
I have just recently starting getting into photography so I am still learning a lot. I would like to start a business but unfortunately money is a bit of an issue. Is there a site that you would recommend to sell your photos to, to make a little extra cash while I improve my skills? Also I see thing like photography games does anyone know anything about that? Mahalo (Thank you) in advance for the help. Have a wonderful day.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're not going to make money trying to sell images to a site. These pay from pennies for most usage to just a few bucks for a fairly major sale. Yes, there is the odd one off every once in a while but it would have to very unique and in demand for something like breaking news. If you want to make money, you're better off buying a lawnmower. There are many sources on youtube that discuss making money in photography. It can be done, but it's hard work with the photography part being maybe 10% of the job. Good luck on trying to get your business going. I wish you well and if you have the determination, you can do it.

Thank for the advice. I figured that I’d ask before I ended up wasting my time and money on those sites. Those sites just keep popping up on social media so I wanted to be sure.
