So, microstock is worth to pay the beers, but not a new car....
Now, im trying so hard to make the same money that my actual job: 800$. I am uploading about 200 videos/month (for the moment) to shutterstock, storyblocks, pond5, adobestock and depositphotos. No sellings for the moment in depositphotos and adobestock, keep trying. I have learn 200$ at the moment. My videos are not the best, because I dont have the best machine and I work alone, but im proud. My secret? keep uploading, keep recording and share on twitter and instagram only
Because I really like to live with microstock
here my portfolio on storyblocks (the most representative, dont scam me xD)

Rosebud with videolove

it is possible to do it but you need funds to hire people and models and shoot cool stuff and you could do it with video absolutely not with photos


Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
