General Stock Discussion / Just noticed my content on getty is exclusive, should I drop them or the others?
« on: March 29, 2017, 23:28 »
Hi all - new to the group.
I started creating video clips for stock, 4K and 1080, and started accounts at 4 or 5 sites, Getty, Pond 5, Shutterstock, Adobe..
One of my clips finally sold, on Getty site - then I decided to read the agreement and realized all the clips I submit to them are exclusive. My fault for not being more careful, but I have a lot of the same clips on the other sites to try and maximize exposure and sales.
Now I am wondering if I should just close the Getty account or close the others. I have 100+ clips uploaded so far, and either want them all in one place or all in lots of places.
I'm tempted to close the Getty account so I can continue to maximize my exposure, but then again they are the only ones that I have a sale with. I have also made money indirectly off them from some event footage I uploaded to Newzulu that Getty bought from them.
I have to make a decision here, as I don't want to not adhere to the agreement.
I'm pretty new to all this - so any advice / suggestions from you folks here is much appreciated!
