Title: Newsflare

Newsflare.com is not a traditional stock site but it looks like they are trying to become one, ya'll might want to give them a look and maybe try, you can upload breaking news/weather and other editorial but also your older magnificent footage and tag it accordingly as older footage.

Sales are rare there but when they happen they can be really nice and they pay in British Pounds which can be quite favorable if you're in the US or Canada.

I almost gave up on them and then three sales of a fireball red sunset came in and sold to the same client and after the currency conversion it worked out to $580 CAD.

Just throwing it out there as it's basically game over to make a living selling through most of the other sites, I believe their commission is 40%

You need to edit a few shots together as opposed to uploading single clips.

It's not great but none of the sites are anymore.......

Yes but that might mean better odds of your content being found on Newsflare, I've had both good and bad luck with them but when sales happen it can be good.
