When you upload photo on their website they will customize your photo with a particular theme you can change the theme of your photo by changing fonts etc. You can set your price on your photo. If your photo sold you will 85% of your price. They charge 12$ every month as a selling charge this is not big amount if you can sell 3 photos you can cover your investment. You can sync your Lightroom account so you can edit your photo easily. You can create custom watermark on every photo. Overall this is my favorite and in my opinion best to start selling your photos.

2.  Simple Model release 
3. Automatic keyword recommendation.

and many more feature like this moreover they have mobile application also for both Contributed(Photographer) Customer.

#3 Eyeem - In my thinking EyeEm is the largest plateform for selling photos they have more than 20 Million users. They take two weeks to review your photo this is bad I know but if your photo approved then you don't have to worry after approving your photo if your photo deserve then it will publish on Geety website after that you will start earning so this is long process but they pay high I think on an average they pay 100$ to 140$ per month this is good in compare to other website.

My tips and suggestions

Always try to know what buyer wants and then click your photo like that.

Create your website interface beautiful so visitors can see your photo in a positive manner. There are various companies who create your website for free you just have to take a domain name, like WordPress, wix etc. You can visit these types of website to easy your work.

Try to add more and more photos daily in your website in my opinion you should add minimum 10 to 20 photos regularly. You have to be passionate about this.

Always add multiple payments option for buyers this create high chance that your photo will be sold.

Try to edit your photo like a pro you can check some free or paid course also for this or you can watch YouTube videos about the.

Try to be create friendly website
