When I first got introduced to stock photo sites I quickly made a sale for $100.00. Ooo I was hooked. I uploaded daily and built up quite a portfolio but as time passed I realised I wasn't going to repeat that magic sale. Since then I've made quite a few sales but it seems now I'm only getting 50 cents an image. I feel the market is so saturated that buyers aren't prepared to pay much. Its a lot of effort for little reward. Its depressing 😞
@Joe Publisher my only reward from Stock Photo sites is to know that long after im dead my photos will live on... maybe for hundreds of years.... who knows 😮😄👊🙏👍
Hi there, I am new to your channel, you have some stunning photos there, bravo, I am a new photographer also, I came across your channel and subscribed.
Great video.. Subscribed.. I love taking photos so I'll start selling soon. I have a question.. Can i upload and submit a same photo on Shutterstock, pexels, fine art America as well as on Adobe? If I do this will there be any copyright or trademark issue like I'm selling the same photo and submitting to different companies? By the way your content is awesome.
Hi James. I hope you're doing well. I also have the same question which is similar to someone's here. Is that legit to submit the same pictures in both "donation" sites and "stock" sites? I saw so many people joined in these 2 types of sites but the pictures they submitted in donation ones are totally different from the others. Hope you can reply to my wondering. Thank you!
I want to start selling photos. I was wondering what kind of copyright issues I could run into, if I sell photos of my own property(car, bike, clothes etc.). Does it only matter if the logo is in the photo? Does it change if its just in the background?
Hi.. I'm thinking about selling some of my photos of "Nature". Will these companies be licensing the photos we upload for us? Is someone able to "steal" my photo I upload? I'm not sure how this works? Thank you..
I am not sure but often abstract photography works well for backgrounds of creative projects and people purchase stock backgrounds all the time. However, it takes time to build up sales.
I do have some photos on there but never made many sales. The upload process was very time consuming so I decided not to upload all my photos there because didn't think it was worth it.
@@Photerloo Ya agree. The upload process is terrible but I've done ok sales wise and shoot travel like yourself. I've only just started uploading to other sites outside of Getty/iStock so will be interested to see how they compare in the long run. Thanks for all your vids! Really interesting and informative.
Does one need to copyright the photos that one chooses to sell online? Or are they automatically copyrighted to you when you upload them? Also, how does one go about copyrighting photos?
Any atom in this world vibrates, same resonating atoms consolidate at one location, similarly each and every human vibrates at some frequency based on their thoughts, this is the reason more successful persons consolidate at one place as a team 😀 Have a nice day 😊😁
I wonder if the volume of contributors moving over to Adobe has something to do with sales flatlining there, thanks to the increased competition. My sales definitely died on Adobe, with only videos having a small boost in December.
I'm sorry if my question is too sensitive. is that pexel free stock photos? where do you get paid? donation or what? thank you very much if you want to answer
I was getting a large amount of the contributor bonus but when they changes how they calculate it my bonus went from around $250 a month to around $2 a month. My photos made it into Envanto because I had them on Photodune but a lot got taken out in the transition so I don't have that many photos up there anymore, only make a couple of bucks a month now. What types of photos are you seeing selling well on Evanto?
