The coronavirus pandemic has left a lot of photographers very unsure of how their finances will change over the next few months. One genre that still has at least some demand, however, is stock photography. This great video takes an honest look at what you can expect to earn from stock photography right now.
Coming to you from Photerloo, this excellent video discusses the sort of stock photography earnings you might be able to expect right now, including his own recent personal earnings. Many photographers use stock photography as a way to generate some small additional passive income on the side, and given the current state of affairs, you might be wondering if it is worth taking the time to go through your portfolio and the process of keywording and uploading batches of photos to augment your earnings. Certainly, with many other industries experiencing downturns, demand for stock photography may be down as well, but that is also highly dependent on the genres you shoot and upload. It very well may be worth taking an afternoon to pick a platform and upload some images. Check out the video above for the full rundown, and stay safe and healthy!

I wish I knew it all, but I got interested in this story because I clearly don't. You don't offer much real info honestly, unlike others above who did give credible clues. This could be something I can realistically do but I don't have time right now for a couple more years. I can plan for now and see if it's worth it.
It's like Uber only worse: if you honestly calculate your real costs over time you'd find there's little if anything left.
