    Hi Matt, this video was very helpful to me for understanding the best way to go about placing my clips on multiple sites. About 4 years ago I put five video clips on Adobe stock, but haven't done anything since then. This is the year I upload more! Thanks for the inspiration! 😀👍

    • @jamestarry4814
      @jamestarry4814 Рік тому +1

      The absolute key to selling stock is volume and uploading regular. Also keep in mind that it can take an image several month to recycle itself into a sale. Sometimes I will upload and wont see it start selling till a year later. The reason why most people stop is that dont see an instant income, stock is a long game.

    Hey Matt. I have been uploading clips to Pond5 for about 5 years. At first, I uploaded to several stock houses like Adobe (made some money), but ultimately I made an exclusive arrangement with Pond5 to receive 60% of the sale price of each clip. I have about 300 clips that I've accumulated over the years including shots I purposely went out to shoot just for stock. Frankly, I really enjoy doing these shots for Pond5 since I'm on my own, can take as much time as I like w/o a producer looking over my shoulder saying we need to finish it up and be in another location by 2pm, etc. What is also fascinating is seeing what shots sell. I have a shot I did years ago of people in midtown Manhattan crossing the street, a very telephoto shot, that sold 11 times. Others that I thought were great, never. Go figure.
    I would definitely love to see you do more stock shot videos.

    • @gshak33
      @gshak33 Рік тому

      Pond5 got acquired by Shutterstock in May of last year and while I’m hoping they don’t make any changes to it, knowing how Shutterstock acts like the Amazon of the stock image market they’ll probably kick off a faster race to the bottom with lower pricing and lower rates. Hope I’m wrong though cause I like Pond5 even with their lackluster sales.
