READ THIS!!!! DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!! All info supplied here is my opinion and I (or Youtube) am NOT responsible for anything that happens from you using this info. No animals were harmed in the making of this video (My simple disclaimer). Maybe this will work for you and maybe it won’t but it might be worth a look. Check it out for yourself. Now, I suggest you learn some simple photoshop skills. There are plenty of videos on how to use photoshop on Youtube and the web. RESEARCH!!! Next, Google image banks & royalty free photos. You will find several sites that will represent your works. Now, actually go to those sites and learn all you can. RESEARCH!!! Again, look at the photo categories & then sort by “download” and you will see the most downloaded images. That will give you an idea of what type of images are in demand. Next check the requirements of the image banks that interest you. Example: If an image bank needs photos to be at least 3GB in size and you only have a 1GB camera, well then you’ll have to overcome that problem won’t you? ADDITIONAL: This simple principal can be applied to artistic illustrations and video footage as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: This video is NOT an endorsement for any service.

When it comes to the photos many of the ones (such as the first image you show) will have cost the photographer to make, hiring models and spending time setting up the shoot etc, while some photos taken on the fly will sell most that sell well are well thought out and planned, so these things take a lot of time.
Anyway nice video
It is also not just about the photograph, keywording and writing proper decent descriptions plays almost as big a role as does the photo. It is alos worth noting that having one or two images uploaded will not be of much use the people who make a living from this have thousands if not tens of thousands of photos on multiple sites, so this is by no means the quick money making scheme people think (I know you have not claimed it is that is just a warning).
Stock photography is NOT as easy as you make it out to be, while there are some that make big bucks there are many more who do not. And while technically the equipment used is not so important and composition does not have to have much “artistic” merit the images have to be technically perfect, well composed, and most importantly clean, so no blemishes that would be on the lens/sensor and NO digital noise (most non SLR type cameras struggle with that).
@Drrck11 Well, you can decide to not trust him and remain broke. The most successful business people earn the lionsshare of their money by taking risks.
