It can be a great way to sell your photography and make money, but you have to get it seen by the people who are in the market for it. Making a website is great, but it doesn't get you SEEN. People have to stumble upon your site and WANT to buy what you are offering. The chances aren't extremely high that it's going to happen. It can, and it does-once in a great while.
SO... you have to come up with a marketing plan to get your images sold. A gallery showing is a good way to sell, getting pieces into anyplace you can sell them... and probably a million other things. It's going to take some promotion on your part to get things sold.
Stock. I am not sure you can make a living selling stock anymore. Years ago, yes. You can make some money selling stock, but... You have to have a LOT of images up there for purchase and you have to have something that is new and different for the things that everyone is looking for. I'd absolutely submit for stock, but as things stand I think the chances of you making a living on your combined efforts so far here are not good. Chump change and pocket money? Maybe.
