Dear Photographer,
"Why are you holding onto silly dreams of being a photographer?"
Six years ago, Lise Gagne heard that question a lot. Her friends and family didn’t get it. And who could blame them? She didn't have much. Just a cheap, pawn-shop camera and a love of taking photos.
But she had a creative eye. And, at the outset, she had a simple goal – to make $20 a week selling her photos on iStockphoto.com.
Just four years later, she had become iStock's top seller, with an unprecedented 500,000 image sales. Today, she’s close to a million image sales.
And Lise makes six figures a year from her photos.
But more importantly, she’s doing what she loves … and enjoys the freedom to live where she pleases, travel when she wants, and express herself creatively.
She’ll be the first to tell you: even she can hardly believe it.
But the thing is: Her kind of success isn’t just a fluke. In fact, it could just as easily be your story.
Take Jani Bryson. Tired of working 80 hours a week running a real estate brokerage, she dove into stock photography at the age of 40 … and now her images sell thousands of times over.
Fed up with the high stress and dangerous working conditions in her social services job, Shelly Perry turned to stock photography just a few years ago and today makes most of her living from her image sales. She loves what she does. No more bosses, no more stress. And she has the time and freedom to set her own schedule.
You need only listen to Lise, Jani, or Shelly’s story to realize that if they can make it happen – turn their passion for photos into a lucrative income stream (in some cases, a six-figure income) – then so can you.
It doesn't take any special equipment. Or years of experience.
In fact, if you can snap a simple photograph, you can do it. It's just a matter of learning a few secrets about what sells best. And just recently in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Lise, Jani, Shelly, and a whole roster of seasoned experts gathered to show nearly 70 of your fellow readers how it’s done.
But even if you couldn’t be with us, you can still listen in. I’ll tell you how in just a minute. But first, let me explain quickly what it is, exactly, that these savvy photographers do …
Why Stock Photography Can Put Money in
Your Pocket, Even While You Sleep
Now, to most folks, a gold fish is a gold fish. It swims around. But to a stock photographer, a pet goldfish can be the ticket to some easy cash …
Let me explain what I mean. One of the photographers who spoke in Santa Fe got up one morning and spent fifteen minutes with her camera lens up to the fishbowl on her windowsill. And now she's sold those snapshots she took 153 times …
It's the same thing with her vacations. Take Paris. She enjoyed the cafes … the lavish meals … the leisurely strolls along the Seine. And she snapped pictures as she went – just like we all do when we're on vacation.
Only she didn't just slide hers into an album when she got home. She sold them. In fact, she's still selling them. And she's spending zero time doing it. They sell themselves. Even while she's sleeping. And she just collects the checks.
Her photos have shown up all over the world – in glossy magazines like Oprah, Good Housekeeping, and Redbook. On a poster-size ad in a bank window in Chicago. In a coffee-table travel guide to Paris …
All because she put them in an online stock photo agency …
And you can do the same. That’s what this program is all about.
It doesn’t cost you anything to upload your pictures to an agency. And buyers can then download whichever pictures they choose for anywhere from $1 to $20 or more, depending on the size of the image they want.
You, in exchange, get a royalty for each image, each time it sells. So even though you may only earn 50 cents or so per sale, you make up for it in volume. One photo can sell over and over again and you don’t have to do anything but upload once and wait for the royalties to roll in.
We’ll Show You How to Quickly and Enjoyably Turn Your Interest in Photography into an Income
Stock photography is easily something you can do in your spare time — when you want to, when the urge strikes – and still make money with it.
It's perfectly reasonable to think you could go out and snap photos a handful of hours a week — maybe just Saturday mornings, if that's what you wanted — and earn a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a month for your efforts.
That’s a pretty sweet deal, when you think about it. And it’s exactly what our photo workshop attendees in Santa Fe, NM learned how to do.
But just because you couldn’t be there, doesn’t mean you can’t find out how to quickly and enjoyably turn your interest in photography into cash — even if all you’ve ever done is take family shots at holiday time or on vacation.
You see, we’ve recorded every “classroom” session … collected every PowerPoint presentation and every hand-out … made videos of the post-processing tricks our pros share … and caught those important, impromptu “lessons” on camera so you, too, can feel like you were right there with them as our experts doled out priceless advice.
And we’ve collected all of that in our Ultimate Stock Photo Workshop-At-Home Package.
It is, without question, the next-best thing to being at our live event in person. It brings decades of photo expertise directly to you. So you can shave years off your learning curve.
And right now you’ll pay only $349 $299 – a tiny amount really for hours of photography expertise and an extraordinary online library of practical, action-oriented resources.
So while the folks on the ground paid nearly $1,700 to be there in person, you can get all the same secrets and insights for significantly less.
It’s a deal I encourage you to take advantage of. Our workshop is so intense and content-rich that the attendees at our live events always take advantage of these recordings themselves, saying there's incredible value in being able to review and absorb at your own pace.
With this online audio and video package, you’ll gain a systematic approach to taking photos that sell as stock images … a system that anyone can follow.

The Most Efficient, Enjoyable Way We Know to Revolutionize the Way You Experience the World
You'll get access to every secret uncovered by real industry experts and guidance from professional photographers who will share with you the insights they've learned on-the-job. It'll shave years off your learning curve and set you up for success from the start.
I'll give you all the specifics about the price and exactly what you’ll receive here in a minute. First, though, let me introduce you to the experts you’ll hear from:
Lise Gagne is microstock photography’s very first superstar. She was the first to hit 500,000 image sales … and today she’s close to one million. Her images on iStock.com make her six figures a year … and the more photos she adds to her collection, the more money she makes.
But she didn’t start out at the top. Lise began taking photos for stock when she was fired from her design job. She bought a cheap pawn-shop camera, and started snapping. In Santa Fe, she told her story and shared advice from the years of trial and error it took her to get to the top.
“For my interests I felt that Lise Gagne added the most benefit because she was in my position not that long ago and told her story and where she is now as a photographer and businesswoman. Her biggest strength was her honesty in describing how she has managed to create a living out of photography.” – Blake B.
“Lise Gagne is a lovely, gentle, sincere and humble person, a great inspiration and motivator. I’m very impressed along with everyone else.” – Vera B.
“Lise is warm and sincere. Her biggest strengths were her true life story of becoming a full-time successful photographer and her willingness to share so honestly.” – Penny M.
Shelly Perry specializes in “people” photography. She is especially known for her photos of children. Her images have been seen all over the globe on music CD covers, books, magazines, catalogues, websites, ad campaigns, and even on TV.
In the Ultimate Stock Photo Workshop-At-Home Package, Shelly provides you with the know-how you need to break into online stock agencies and establish an ongoing source of passive income.
“Shelly Perry makes lighting and home studio work doable. She is encouraging and offers suggestions that help you think of ways to improve your work.” — Chere H.
“I thought Shelly added a lot to this workshop because of her personal stories. I felt I could identify with her. And because she’s so successful; she shared her process.” — Clea F.
“Shelly struck me as very ethical, professional, and artistic. Someone unwilling to compromise her principles or her art. Very trustworthy and had a simple, clear teaching format and style. Very knowledgeable. Sincere.” — Sabrina A.
Jani Bryson, top-selling photographer at iStockphoto.com. Jani – perhaps like you – had little photography experience when she started. After realizing she was working too much at her 9-5 job and that she wanted to spend more time with her kids and enjoy life more, she started dabbling in stock photography.
And now with over 50,000 downloads, she’s doing what she loves and making a successful living with it. In a recent interview she said: “I decided to put all my energy in stock photography. Once I committed and let everything else go that I wasn’t happy with, I started to see success.”
In The Ultimate Stock Photo Workshop-At-Home Package, you’ll hear all about how Jani got started. (You might be surprised at how fast her full-time photography career took off. She shares the full story on the recordings and tells you exactly how you can follow in her footsteps.)
“For myself, Jani’s opening lecture of her rapid growth in photography helped me as a beginner. Sometimes seeing a seasoned photographer can be scary with no end in sight. Jani showed just to take it one step at a time.” –Rebecca S.
“Jani Bryson was a kind of a ‘success story’ whom we could emulate – set reasonable goals, see our own successes possible in her. Very down to earth, relatable.” - Richard S.
“She is a perfect example of what a workshop like this can lead to if you are willing to take action. Very motivating!” –Mindy C.
Rich Wagner is a highly skilled digital photographer. His images hang in public corporations and private foundations from San Diego to Boston and in homes from the Americas to the Far East. He’s a master at teaching just about anyone how to take better pictures.
“Rich is obviously knowledgeable and experienced in photography, but his greatest asset for the workshop is his teaching and mentoring ability and approachability. His emphasis in long-term customer support, product quality, his business knowledge and professionalism are fantastic!! He is very open and patient.” -Lucy W.
“Knowledgeable and entertaining without being too technical to comprehend. Instructs without leaving you in the dark.” -Marcus W.
“Rich is approachable and humorous. He takes the time to answer questions and has an ability to communicate his knowledge without making a person feel stupid.” -Mindy C.
Plus, you’ll hear from guest speaker Efrain Padro … a local Santa Fe stock photographer who sells his travel photos in online stock agencies as well as through his own website. He’ll tell you how he made the leap from a successful career as an attorney to one as a professional photographer … and share with you his most important secrets to success.
And you’ll also hear from our emcee, Jennifer Stevens, with her presentation called, What's Stock? Who Buys It? And Why Today is the Best Time in History to Become a Microstock Photographer. Jen has vast experience choosing stock photos as a buyer … as an editor at a glossy magazine, for marketing and design use, and in other arenas, too. She’ll share with you insider industry insights so you’ll see immediately the ways your own experiences and expertise can feed your stock photography success.
