Hi guys,

Since the videoblocks change to storyblocks and i saw their submission requirement that photo will be accepted. But i can't find a way to upload jpg file, but only video/animations etc.

Anyone knows how to operate?

Is anybody getting any photo sales at Storyblocks?
For me so far a big zero, but I don't have a big photo portfolio

I don't think anyone will be making many photo sales here unless they change their search to include marketplace images by default.

You probably have a good point.
Still it is surprising that nobody is reporting any sales. After all there should be a very limited amount of pics compared to the catalog of other agencies, so more sales per individual artist

Well, you also need buyers.

where did they get these images for the "member library" anyway? is someone making a commission on those or are they just a bunch of assets the company owns themselves?
