Where can you sell your stock photos online for free?

On your own website.

How do you sell something that is free?

And WHY would you want to? Trying to ensure that prices for those that do sell from stock sites go down even more than they already have?

Selling stock photos requires quite a bit of advertising and promotion. If a photographer has a lot of contacts in the advertising business that routinely use the kind of stock images the photographer produces, the photographer might make a bit of money.

If a photographer cannot afford to market, promote, and advertise their stock photography, a better approach is sharing licensing fees with a stock photography agency in exchange for the web site maintenance, marketing, promotion, and advertising a stock photography agency provides for their cut.

Unfortunately, the stock image market is over saturated with images, and it literally gets even more saturated by the hour.
