more about iBloomdrop 

I'm Jeannie and internet friends know me as Bloomdrop! (haha) I'm an all-around internet website junkie. I love to create websites from scratch, and watch as people find interest. I write Zany Zodiacs horoscopes weekly, and love to hear feedback. I've also collected research about paid online surveys, and complied it into an online directory of legitimate choices. I love to write, read, express my opinion, and express my creativity in so many ways. I love music of all kinds. I love my child. It's hard for me to answer the question, 'What are you passionate about?' because the answer encompasses so many things!

After putting in my time, I'm finally experiencing some positive things in the way of internet marketing. I've got many eggs in many baskets and on the road to creating a very nice collection of revenue streams from here and there. I am always willing to share everything I have learned so if you ever have any questions or want to see more info, check out my lenses, my blog, or just ask! ;-)

Did I miss any great places to sell photos online?

    I'm wondering. If you sell photos online at one of these sites, are you then prohibited from selling the same photo on another site? Do you give up any of your ownership of your work when you sign up? Nice lens by the way.
