... and I'm pretty excited.  It took months of effort but I learned a lot about shooting and editing.  I also learned its near impossible to make any real money doing this but at least its fun.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

thanks, still no clue what i'm doing but i sold a few images so i'm doing something right

Yes, I am trying very hard to do more videos. Only have 1500 at the moment.

If you do video, I can only recommend to also do editorial. I started much too late with that and missed out on a lot of money.

On pond5 there is thread where people share their latest sales. There is a lot of editorial there.

And please also occasionally share your sales as well. Not any bestsellers, but try to give back.

I took a ten year break from stock, now I am back to uploading. It will take years to get back to a full time income, but unlike all the doom and gloom here I see so many gaping holes in the agency collections, especially also with editorial, so I am optimistic to make it work.
