All your videos are terrible and filmed at a primitive amateur level. I did not see any dynamic range and bright colors in your videos. With such a portfolio it is embarrassing to try to look for a job in Video Editing.

 

It wasn't clear -- Do you add the metadata to the images along with the CSV? ( it's unlikely, given you may be working from thumbnails)

how do you determine location and other details (names of churches, mountains, statues, ruins, ...) that aren't obvious in a description. other services use AI which can often determine, city, etc. 

i pay $.03 /image for that service. can you compete?

can you provide examples of descriptions & keywords you've produced (don't need the images)

examples for results, from images only - title, description, tags:

Sent you a PM with Samples. The rate is absolutely low. 33 images will make $1. A minute per image - 33 minutes for $1. I expect request for revisions.

Are you paying individuals or a website?

I am an individual. I have added my rates in post itself. 0.03 Rate will not work for anybody.

but your post said 33 images for $1 which is about $.03 each?

i'm happy with the results I'm getting @ $.03 each  (they use an AI) , but i'll offer constructive comments & suggestions for anyone brave enough to take up the metadata challenge

Thanks for feedback and constructive comments. AI generated text content is identified by most of the search engines now. It is being pushed to bottom. I prefer to inspect every image and write what is relevant and complimentary to situation in image. I intend to earn money but with low rates I will end-up spending money on the job more than what I will earn.

If you are looking for pure AI based content which will not be inspected for any adjustments, I can do this work for you at your rates. at $0.03, I can provide you the result straight from Ai tools.

I asked the question not to you, but to cascoly. But for some reason cascoly does not want to answer the question.

Finally, I have three clients from this forum. I am charging them $0.25 Per image/Video. It includes title, description and keywords. . Delivered 1200 completed stuffed images or rows in CSV files. More welcome !!

https://upstock.guru/keyword_checker

It's free here.

did you actually use this? how long did it take to fully add meta data to an image?

there are other more powerful free keywording apps - this one is cumbersome, for each image
"A new window will open showing images relevant to your search.
Select a minimum of 2 images by clicking on them, the more, the better.
Make sure to choose images that are similar with your image and keywords.
Proceed to click "Generate Keywords" to finalize the process."

and in the end it just gives a list & you still have to add it to your image and provide a description & title

compare that with apps do batch  processing & that add metadata to images and provide a csv 

If your topic is advertising, place your images here and write whatever you want to them. Maybe someone doesn't know how to do this.

I invite you to try my service for free for 20 images. I will serve you with dignity, honor and respect. Even if you do not pay me anything, still you have my respect for you. Cheers!

a blast from the past!

10 years ago this offer was appropriate. When 0.38 was the lowest we were paid for an image and it was enough to upload few hundreds images a month to stay competitive. Even 0.5 was fine then or even $1 for video. But not anymore.

Now we get as earn as 0.02 per sale and microstocks want much more images. And AI is here to do the keywording - for free or for cents.

Dmitry, You have a Great Portfolio. I envy you. You have amazing images and videos.

I have priced my services for cents. I understand the dynamics of this market. Anyways, I am here to help.

For free services, you need to consider the time it takes to prompt - you'd still have to add the result to your image meta. i'm not aware of any free services that process in bulk & update the image meta? are there any you can recommend?

no, there are no free services that I am aware of too. ChatGPT can be used for free, but it is slow.
But with the help of chatGPT you can probably automate adding metadata by writing some script that moves mouse cursor and copies and pastes. It will be slow, but you can leave it for, say, overnight. I haven't tried it but it seems quite feasible.

I am using imstocker AI keywording + keywording in SS. But as I do travel imagery, the main problem is not keywording, it is writing descriptions. After description is done, keywording is a breeze.
If I don't want to do it by hands, I can upload an image to ChatGPT, provide it with a description if I want, and with a proper prompt it generates really good keywords. But no one can write descriptions but me.

There is a script (again you can write it yourself with a help of ChatGPT) available for $60 that processes all images in a folder with ChatGPT and adds metadata. The cost is 0.0052. Virtually free.

Give me a link where I can buy this script?
Thanks.

Do you know a way to just press a button, and it generates hundreds of thousands of images for me, indexes them, uploads them to all the microstock sites, and the money goes directly to my bank account? I would like not to receive alerts for payments, it would disturb me.
Do you know a robot who gives good massages and is submissive?

I know the one which does all of these this except for the money going to your bank account, you have to request payments from Adobe to Paypal and then manually withdraw it. But I don't want to promote it. It upload a lot of garbage too.
Sorry, for massage robots you have to wait a couple of years till Chinese will make one.

I haven't used it, so try it at your own risk. It is in russian, but I think you can use GoogleTranslate for page translation, and you always can contact the author.
He raised the price recently to 100, but there is also a subscription option available

Bumping this thread.

I have some free slots for adjusting more clients. Feel free to ping me.
