Stock photography is one of the few genuinely passive income streams—once an image is uploaded and properly keyworded, it can generate royalties for years without additional work. Adobe Stock pays 33% royalty on subscriptions and higher rates on on-demand purchases. Non-exclusive distribution across Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Getty/iStock, and Alamy simultaneously maximizes total passive income. Upload to several non-exclusive stock platforms to maximize reach and passive income.
