Nowadays....low res images are all that are needed for many businesses. In theory this sounds good however does the linking back to you generate any real sales which requires hi res images?

I really don't like what I wrote there so allow me to clarify: I do think that "providing" images for free as a way to promote your images or other products is an excellent way to build a business these days, as opposed to just churning out images for microstock sellers.
Posting your images to a blog and writing about your photography and/or travel experiences would be a good example. Providing images to businesses in exchange for their promotion (linking) of your services would be another. From there you can license your images, sell prints and product and offer your services as a professional photographer.
