General - Stock Video / Re: $1,000 sales day on Pond5 yesterday!!!
« on: September 06, 2024, 13:45 »
blvdone, nothing can be said without seeing the video that was bought from you at high prices. Accordingly, all your conclusions are just your slogans.

I'm not even talking about the fact that I can draw a table similar to yours in any graphics editor.
 ;D ;D ;D

While it may be true someone could post 'fake screenshots' - I doubt that is the case here. He's not trying to sell any 'get rich quick from my video course' type of stuff, and has consistently provided interesting and valuable posts, so there would not really be any point for him to 'make' stuff up.

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 :)

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.

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 :)

Thanks Miro. What other agencies you’d recommend to sign up ? Which you believe is worth the time.

For regularly income SS,Adobe and MA works for me, Alamy, Pond or Pond5, IS/Getty depends on the stars conspiracy :) others like DP, DT, Vecteezy, Freepik, ME ok to have it but do not wait to much, not really working for me. BS, 123RF is good for coffee but not every month. 
But many other people have different experience and also different portfolios.

Thanks a lot. I believe  I am with all agencies you have mentioned above. The motion array has limits of how many assets I can upload which puts me down. Is it worth the time? Also do you sell prints on FAA?
[/quote]
If is MA worth is hard question. For me is working well, but how I mention before every portfolio is different. Try it and you will see. FAA- I cancel 5 years ago. Zero sales for couple years. I think is working better for landscape photographer.

Hi. I’m thinking to upload my images to wirestock. Is it worth the time ? Also do you tick the box where they will distribute to other agencies as well ? Thanks

Congrats on the milestone. Getting monetised on YouTube is really hard. Probably depends on the niche. But keep going, I guess you still haven’t done 4000 watch hours.

Thank You, yes, it is hard, 4000 watch hour maybe next year or next life :)

nice work.  i noticed you passed 1000 subscribers, is you channel monetized now?
Thank You yuri, no yet monetized at this time

I upload new YT video about Five common mistake when uploading to stock platform https://youtu.be/WPSFBc7P-FA?si=5bdFPrgqX0zihqmQ

86
I have no sale with Creative Market :( last sale is 2 years ago, before is my good seller not anymore

The ideas are good, but nature is always a poor buy for buyers on stocks. It should be some very popular locations. Or it should be a shoot with models.
It's just better to shoot nature with a slider.

Yes, I agree, popular and well known location is very helpful, but some my seller is done 12 feet away from my front door and without any model, just leaves.
Yes model and any people is very helpful but do not guarantee any sale. I use some times slider also, but really depends,  many times the most simple things work the best.
But it was type of images or footage's you must have in any micro stock portfolio.

General Stock Discussion / New Autumn tips ideas video on my YT

New Autumn tips and ideas video on my YT I know, it was still summer but is better if you are ahead https://youtu.be/mQDOSIQFAAI?si=KMzyU7Xw4yMFJHRM

Best, Miro

Thanks - agree with what you said. However - which platform(s) do you use that let you arrange collections/series?
As far as I know - for Adobe - its kind of 'semi-automated' - so you can't really explicitly say that 'these images/videos belong together'...
And other platforms - varies from semi automated to none at all...

So while good in concept - I'm not sure how much it would effectively increase your sales unless you lucked out and had them automatically grouped together...

I do not really made collections, i just upload them regularly. I do not think it was necessary made collection or series.
I sold many times similar images from same series and I believe it was good upgrade for stock portfolio.
Yes in Adobe you can made collection and also on Pond5 I have some collections here.
But every stocker can have different experience. One good recipe do not exist.

General Stock Discussion / Re: motionelements payout(s)?
« on: August 05, 2024, 07:20 »
 
Thanks - you mean $48 on average each month (so, like about $1200 over 2 years/24 months)? (not sure what you mean by the $1.xx)

Odd... because I don't seem to have gotten anything... Hmm (I have a bit more assets than you do)...

Thanks!
[/quote]
No $48 for 2 years in total and this is around $1.and some cents per month /this mean xx because can be from 0.1 cents to 0.99cents/ I hope it is clear. Simple not good agency for me right now :)

Image Sleuth / Re: Watermarked stolen content on Youtube
« on: July 22, 2024, 13:03 »
Is there any way to report this kind of usage if it's not your content?
https://youtu.be/XsmovdShOXo?si=iTOq-f6lF9LOlQNC

I've had my own content removed from this kind of usage before but I do not see options for general theft.
I do not think is theft, company has contract with those agency and it is covered.
