Title: Business plan
Post by: pavallokazzo on January 09, 2016, 04:50
Hey guys,

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I would like you to check this plan I came up with and see if it sounds...
I have a Panasonic GH4 and I'm shooting mostly 4k.

1) So my idea would be:
- take my already processed 4k videos and photos (I'm using them for other purposes as well) and divide it in 3 tiers: quality (https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=991472404224484&set=vb.974687192569672&type=2&theater
 (https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=991472404224484&set=vb.974687192569672&type=2&theater)), so so, unacceptable
- "quality" will go to macro for RM
- "so so" to micro for RF

2) can I sell "quality" media as RM if used in other personal projects (facebook pages, youtube videos)?
3) footage is apparently outbeating images, confirm? I got the feeling that going for stock photos is just a loss of time...

Thanks

I see from your multiple threads that you do lots of thinking and analyzing.
Lots of your questions canīt really be anwered as everybody has different experiences.

The best advice I can give to you is : Stop thinking too much and shoot as much as you can to upload. After one year of heavy producing and uploading you can start thinking about improvements.

"Stop thinking too much" is good advice for life, let alone stock. My grandfather was a down to earth chap. He used to say, "Think about any one thing for long enough, and it will drive you mad"  :o
Good advice!   :)

This applies especially to me!

I'll start to post some stuff to agencies but I have some material like the above one which I don't really want to sell it for few bucks... even if it is few bucks times hundreds..

dear pavallokazzo

If the material that you have is, from your opinion, not worth to be sold for few buck, you should look as fast as you can an alternative to sold that material for Higher price.
If you can't find a different and better priced solution you should revisit your position because a file in your hard disk waiting for the "paying customer" is certainly not producing ANY sort of earning...hence you will loose money.

I'll try to stock up few videos, get them with some macrostocks agencies and see what they come up.
Otherwise, microstock and sell fast :)

Thanks everybody
