In the interest of your time, I cut a few things out of this video Probably the most important one is how much time it takes to reach this level of income I’m in my third year producing stock video I probably saw very near 0 sales in the first 3 months or so Even after the first year, I was just making “extra” money It took until near the end of the second year before I really started to see $2-3k months But the great news is that my portfolio never shrinks, it only gets bigger That’s not to say I will always retain this level of income from stock There is an ever-growing amount of competition after all However, it has paid for my time and equipment many times over and at least for now, my passive income is still growing

Comment from : @TheSnowRoller-Bjj

I can attest that what you are saying works I started in 2018 with no experience, training, or experience I was 58 years old By 2024, I was averaging over $1000 a month and also have a YouTube channel to help people get started Thanks for your tips and advice

Hi Can you sell one video or photo multiple times or only once?
Comment from : @GAMINGKINGCHANNELSWISS

When you posted your pictures on Instagram, can you still sell them on stock websites?
Comment from : @glenngodecky4555

I'm guessing AI is pretty much dooming (other than using new photos in the stock libraries for training, and paying the library fee to us as a group for that) almost all stock AI can do it faster, can do video now (and gets better every day), and doesn't have to get model releases, deal with arbitrary standards from stock reviewers that make most of the effort pointless, and can just create exactly what the user wants, instead of the photographer guessing There's very little carrot now for stock producers on anything other than maybe an industrial scale Given the value of your time, and other things of similar creative vein you can do that have a future and a payoff, stock just doesn't do anything for someone trying to pay bills anymore It's great for one's ego to see a sale, but it's pocket change and every Y/Y the payouts get smaller and smaller
Comment from : @glennhighcoveexploresstuff

Don't you need permission of the people in the stock video to post it?
Comment from : @glenngodecky4555

BrobrYou need an assistant to help with delivering what you want to say!brYou spent the whole video saying absolutely nothing

Another scammer selling the passive income lie Newsflash Passive income means you do NO work You are doing lots of work talking pictures, uploading, etc It's NOT passive income Fraud

Awesome brother 👍
Comment from : @buildingplananddesignconsultin

Back when i was in highschool, I used to work for a film studio that would pump out hundreds of stock video footage clips per day My whole job was to upload them to shutterstock and type in the keywords for each video They would pay me 10 bucks per hour to do this 10 years later, I've started thinking that it can't be that hard to go out and do this Especially now, you could have AI automate the keywords and possibly even the clips themselves?
Comment from : @AustinForbes-ij9oh

Great video I never thought about selling photos or videos until recently my sister shared some gorgeous video clips and photos from my hometown And I love documenting my life, trips, and experiences I have many many videos available already I would love to be able to reuse them other than being used in my vlogs Could you please share the bulk editing and uploading tool again? Do you need to create an vendor account with all the stock image agencies first? Appreciate your generous sharing!
Comment from : @MuxiangP

I am professional full time stock photo and video producer and i am experiencing big drop in my sales although my portfolio is increasing Shutterstock is by the the worst and adobe is better but i think is due to AI and its only going to go down and its becoming difficult to keep producing more content and infuse more money in the production
Comment from : @RoyalRajwadaPhotography

This video is cool and I support you to make more videos, because you tell it clearly and gave us the example from the video which we could upload on shutterstock Informative and simple Good job

Comment from : @eurekadocumentary

Great video! Some advice please I need to upgrade to a new camera on a budget I write articles so need a good camera to sell good accompanying photos, but I am also interested in uploading stock video as I travel I am thinking the Sony A7 iv, but this camera has a 15 crop when you shoot in 4k @ 60 fps Is that a problem do you think? Thank you!
Comment from : @stevenjohnson2799

Thanks for this, I have a question: If I record footage and there are people passing by in the background, how does that affect privacy and copyright of inviduals and having my footage rejected? It's different if my partner or family are in the footage, because, if needed I can provide a wriiten consent, but, what about strangers? what's the feedback on this subject please? Thanks very much, Jay

What do you think will happen to stock videos after the advent of AI like Sora?
Comment from : @Peach_puppYy

I wonder if AI will hit this I just cancelled my stock image/video accounts because I can create them at a fraction of the price with AI and the quality is getting better every day!
Comment from : @davidholgate123

Comment from : @AWanderingVibe

Interesting What legal complexities do we need to be aware of when starting this business? Are we allowed to upload stock videos with random strangers in it?

Comment from : @Kebandi

This is such a good video!!! How are sales in 2024, Lil? Is this method for passive income still worth pursuing?
Comment from : @joem3827

just upload and treat your images or videos as digital assets perfect! 😉
Comment from : @FminorBoy

Loved the video!! I ambrAmerican expat of many years now And this May, will be jumping into the deep end by quoting my full time job and traveling for at least a year I love photography and videography! So the idea of making passive income like this sounds like a dream…if it is really possible Sorry to rant, but one question - how long are these video clips you are posting to Shutterstock? And why can’t I find the ‘upload video’ option on their app? I only see photo option Thank you so much for your reply! brYour newest subscriber,brZach

Very informative video, thanks mate 🙏
Comment from : @musabinho

So 1080P isn't gonna work?
Comment from : @BoReynolds

I'm a stock footage producer, I can tell you it's not easy, everything has to be perfect there's pre-production, recruiting professional actors, location scouting, wardrobe, filming gear etc but the money is good
Comment from : @conradmavundla5221

what quality of video would you recommend uploading 1080 or 4k? And how about linear angle or wide angle?
