Microstocks or photobanks are huge online shops on image selling.
Publishers (photographers or designers) place their images for sale.
When the images are sold, the publisher gets his/her share of the profits.
High-quality, interesting images are always sold, and much more than once, thus making the publisher constantly gain a profit.

Royalty Free is a type of license that makes it possible to sell the image unlimited number of times. When the images are sold, all copyrights are reserved by the author. He is paid a fixed amount of money that cannot be changed in the future. The buyer does not have any additional expenses. In fact it is sale of the license to use the content.
The buyers can use the images at their own discretion, except for use that insults the author or the models, involved in the picture or photograph.

Advantages of the Royalty Free License:

1. Opportunity to use the purchased image many times.
2. Low-cost images. Normally $ 01-10.
3. A very large choice. The largest photobanks have a collection of over 17 000 000 images.
