Obviously there's no easy answer to this, but the following questions should help you understand 'where' you are and what areas you might need to focus on if you're going to make it work

Are My Images Good Enough?

Let's face it ... with the cameras these days if they press the shutter often enough sooner or later anyone is going to take a great photo. That's not enough though.

To make stock work as a business you need to know what makes a great photo and you have to be able to edit out those that don't make the grade.

You have to know understand the fundamental technical criteria that render a photo 'good' and you need to understand the more abstract design concepts that make a photo strong. You need to be able to recognize the minor flaws that will make it weaker than others on offer.

You can't rely on other people telling you your photos are good and you can't go into this simply because your mum//husband/children/friends said you should sell them!

You need to know which of your images are really good, which images haven't quite worked and which should never see the light of day again!

If you haven't got this sort of ruthless-confidence when assessing your work, then you should probably work on it a while before you consider stock.
