RF footage on youtube

(1/2) > >>

grace:
Hi, is there anyone upload your RF footage on youtube, and put the link in the description if someone is interested to purchase? I'm thinking is it worth to do that? anyone experience on it? Just wonder if i put the link in description, i should put my pond5 link, or my own email so that buyer can straight away buy from me? Any suggestion?

unnonimus:
I did.

just an FYI, lots of views but watch time is too low for youtube monetization

Youtube monetization is not the goal of course ;)

I did it too, but I noticed Youtube is not the right place to promote my work. I got some views on the more popular subjects but I also received a lot of dislikes from people thinking 'royalty-free' means 'free' and claimed how I was misleading them because they had to pay to use my videos.
Actual buyers won't shop around via Youtube anyway, so it was a lot of wasted time for me.

Visualab:
it's useless at least you want to bring in more contributors...buyers don't shop on youtube...

Sometimes you have to laugh at uneducated people.

Another stock photographer I know uploaded some of her stock videos to youtube and included the names of the agencies where the individual clips could be found. Now it could be a coincidence but some of those same clips later sold.
