Adobe Stock / Re: Top sales on Adobe Stock
« on: December 16, 2024, 07:58 »
Hello everyone. There's a statistic I'm curious about. What's the most you've earned from selling a single photo or video on Adobe Stock?

I've been uploading for two years. The most I've made on a single sale is $6 for photos. $7 for videos.
I have highest per download in 2017 and 2019 for video $70.00 and in 2024 is $24.50 for video and $26.40 for image

This year make me Adobe alone more money for video than ,,SSPond5Pond5Exclusive,, together. Why??? Less greedy? Better management?

If you like guessing games find out what is sold and what is better seller visit my new episode on my You Tube https://youtu.be/IvSWuirom4g

Yes production is very easy. Hundreds company is offering this service for monthly or yearly payment.

56
You made the entire 2:27 video from AI short clips? Amazing! That must have taken a great amount of planning and prompting.  8)

I've never done any voice over, which I assume is text to voice, and the closed caption works well. 👍

One thing,I believe it would be how Vikings Built ships, in the past tense? Unless you did mean, they are building ships now?  :)

Hi UnclePete,
no short clips, just story text made with AI and some direction for AI software and I must pay for this ,,production,, $$. Caption is done in Davinci Resolve video editing soft.
Really pretty easy and fast. What is good AI need human for ideas at this time, and I hope stays this way.
I agree with Your grammar correction, English is not my native language. Thank You for correction and also for comment.

57
Maybe Off Topic but maybe no, my short  AI video about Vikings long ship building. I know, AI video is not big news but I like to hear from You what do You think?
It is our next big competition or just other new tools?

Quite a few of us are seeing old, previously accepted assets appear in the rejected queue as "file processing error" with new ID numbers.

Others are seeing their profile size shrink or not display correct.

Anyone else got odd items in their recently reviewed queue?
I find this problems in my I phone application

I have a payout pending since last year but can't find any contributor support where I can contact them directly.

In general, I think it's the kind of stock agency where you upload what you like for any price (I've seen lots of crappy AI vids), and there appears to be no review process and goes directly for sale.

Hmm, not really big seller for me but sending to me every $1 if I made sell with them. Definitely no payment problems.

61
If I am correct it was 45 Watts each.
It is written on the lamps 25W. You showed it yourself on the video.
You are right, I  am mistaken with lumens, 1,800 lumens is equivalent to 25–45 watts for an LED bulb, it was pretty bright

62
Power 25 watts is very small. I am only satisfied with power 80-100 watts on one softbox.
Perhaps you bought it for some specific purposes.
How much dollars does it cost?

I paid $322.00 /i have 15 % off from regular price/.
If I am correct it was 45 Watts each. Not mega power but great for studio work with some smaller products and also some photography/video
in customers places like restaurant/food photography and many other things. I am sure it is also great for quick interview.
Yes 100w is great, but with soft box is not really great for smaller space and not easy for travel with them. I also love softboxes I am using two with my larger flashlights and other one with video light.
Every tools is for something.

My average for dreamstime this year is around 77 cents.

I get most sales for 35 cents and sometimes  for 2 dollars, sometimes also a special sale for 15 dollars. Videos sell for 3.70 -  10.31

I have around 4700 files.

Longterm I hope to get a payout every three months but at the moment I am happy with one payout a year.

Upload is very easy and they usually sell files that never get a sale on Adobe, so I see it as an easy add on.


It will probably become interesting when I have 30k files...in 10 years or so...

I must agree with you sales is very low and I am not sure is worth my time :(

Alamy.com / Re: alamy sales?
« on: October 31, 2024, 14:04 »
Seeing a few people post about their 'biggest' sale on alamy got me wondering...

I'm curious - for people making sales on Alamy,
a) How many photos do you have?
b) How consistently do you make sales? (I.e., 1x/month? 10x/month, etc?)
c) Are you finding editorial is what is selling?

Not that I have that much there - I think I have a couple hundred - but never have made a sale there so didn't continue uploading there... But reading about some of the "big" sales some people had (i.e., several hundred to several thousand for a single images) sounds a little inspiring...

Thanks!

2024 so far /October/ :
1. 4 796
2. 18 sales so far in 2024
3. 17 editorial 1 commercial /celebrities, event, landmark/

2023
1. less than 4 796
2. 30 sales in 20243
3. 28 editorial 2 commercial /celebrities, event, landmark, food, animal/

General - Top Sites / Re: do frame rates matter for video?
« on: October 31, 2024, 12:00 »
In a word, no.  It doesn't.  Subject matter is the most important.

But if you're concerned, shoot 120 and let the buyer decide their own frame rate, as 120 is divisible by 24, 30, and 60.
Hmm, sounds good but mostly accepted frame rate is 60fps or I am wrong?

hey miro- i watch many of your videos and i think you are doing great work.  that said, i think the thumbnail for this one is not very good.  it's super hard to read the type against the background and in a grid of thumbnails it doesn't stand out.  try a simpler version, maybe fewer words or give the type an outline so its easier to read.  btw- youtube lets you a/b test thumbnails so it's a good idea to make a few different ones and let youtube show you which ones people are responding to.  appreciate you sharing your work with us, keep it up.

Thank You for respond yuri, I will try do it better next time. I appreciate your time for co9mment.

General - Stock Video / Re: $1,000 sales day on Pond5 yesterday!!!
« on: September 06, 2024, 15:22 »
 

It is believable. You have the right content, that people need - they have the budget to buy it, so they do. Lol - part of the reason I'd like to see similar results soon :)
[/quote]

I personally don't understand why people post on youtube how to make money on stock videos/photos to create their own competitors.  You may make a few bucks, but eventually your new competitors will eat your cut of the pie.
[/quote]

Congratulation, I believe You. I post on YT because I like to share with other people, competition is good for any business, imagine if we have only one stock agency :)
[/quote]


I like how you are not bragging about how easy to make money on stock photos/videos unlike some who are trying to sell you a video course etc.  lol

Thank You, looks we are on same boat ;) Btw my sales in this year is slow :( on both P5 and P5E So far only one sale in September I follow your pricing but I think now is everything different. But looks  like working from Your sales
