I have been selling stock footage for 4 years now. Here is my top earners from best to low :
1. Shutterstock ( always no.1 ) 2. Pond 5 ( even though decreased sales in the last year still no.2 ) 3-4. Adobe Stock and Istock - Getty ( interesting too see how good adobe performs after rebranded from fotolia and yes Istock still sells and it's not far from Pond5 ) 5-6. Dissolve - Storyblocks ( you can try Dissolve if you have time, sad to see storyblocks has dropped sales dramatically after videoblocks shut down )
I tried motion element, deposit and 123rf. I am afraid they have no potential to sell footage at all. So I deleted my portfolio on them. Videohive still too complicated to upload so doesn't worth the time. Hope that helps. Good luck !
thanks for the list of top earners.. that seems to be a very solid choice of agencies. I registered in Dissolve, but haven't yet uploaded anything... I will give it a try, i actually like to website although i don't know how the workflow goes with them...
by the way you have an amazing portfolio Photo London UK! really enjoyed it..
Thank you RRPT! Hope all goes well with your stock footage experience. Best luck!

Basically, if your country is not one of the zero withholding tax countries (between the US and your home country) they will cut tax automatically. You should fill up W-8BEN form.
