Title: 360 images
Post by: Faustvasea on March 23, 2024, 14:16
Hi. Is anyone here have experience selling 360 images? I own insta360 x3 camera and was wondering if anyone here had any success selling such images, and if yes, which platform.

I there.
Many years ago, I sold 357, then 358, then 359, then 360 images! And this on many platforms!
After, came 361, 362... And the number today is much more! ...  :P ;D ;D

Sorry :( :o ;D

From my point of view, it doesn't really matter whether you have "normal" photos, vectors, drone images or 360° images (I assume that I'm guessing correctly what you mean?) - ultimately, the only relevant thing is whether the files have commercial value.

You always have to ask yourself the question: What do potential customers need? What is suitable for advertising agencies, travel agencies, real estate agents, carpenters, driving schools, political parties, medical companies, restaurants, supermarket chains, etc.?

If you offer files that you don't know yourself whether and who might need them, you have a problem. In addition, files whose content is conceptually good but not aesthetically pleasing are also difficult to sell.

Thanks, I was wondering which platform will support 360° images. I know what you are saying, the customer is looking for something valuable. However, having extra posibility of creating new type of images, could lead to extra income.
