Hello Charles, great video as always, thank you! 😊 I have a question that doesn't concern flash at all, sorry.😅 Can you tell me if you use a software to submit your photos or if you do it manually? I write my metadata directly into the JPEG files of my photos and submit them manually. It takes me 1.5 to 2 hours to submit 5 photos on 10 agencies, but I would like to shorten this time with a software to be able to submit more photos, because I know it's a numbers game!😅 If you use a software, could you tell me which one and could you do a detailed tutorial, in real time, where we see you submitting a batch of photos to several agencies to see exactly how much time it takes you and also to see if we really have the possibility of choosing the appropriate categories on each agency without having to connect directly to each site ?😅 Thanks to you &🐶♥️!👍
Hi! Thanks so much! I do use I'mStocker studio and Vision I mentioned it in this video a few weeks ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h1gAEy5MS1w.html I thought about making a dedicated video but I didn't want it to sound like an ad 😅. But I think it might be a good idea as both are very helpful tools. I'll get organized and put something together in a few weeks! Thank for the idea!
@@wollertz 🙏Thank you for your reply Charles! Yes, now that you tell me, I remembered that I had seen your video but it wasn't very detailed and we could legitimately doubt whether it was an ad or not... I don't think the metadata creation part would interest me because there are already a lot of videos on this subject and I already use ChatGPT to create a first draft of my keywords from the description I wrote manually. It’s especially the submission part that interests me. You seemed to say in your video that you have only been using this 'I'mStocker' software for 1 day... Does this mean that previously you submitted your files manually? If you don't want it to look like an Ad, perhaps it would be wise to compare 2 or even 3 equivalent software programs, including the market leader which I believe is StockSubmitter? 😃You could compare by price, by UI friendly, by time required to submit and also check which one best classifies the photos in the right categories of each site for example... In this way, by naming the advantages and disadvantages, we will not be able to tell you It’s an Ad, right? 😅 And what's more, I even think that it's a video that could be very successful because i don't think that another RU-vidr has made this comparison before... 🤩I can't wait to see your video so I can choose wisely of cause. Thank you for all your work! Encouragement from Japan!🎌
@@kuremotokyo Yes, for 15 years I have been uploading and submitting manually, 30 000 fotos, done individually to 8+ agencies. It never bothered me, I only started using ImStoker so that Ican keep up with youtube, I have never even heard of Stock Submitter, If I make a video It will only be on the one that I have used, Ive submitted over 1500 photos using imstocker so I know the downsides and It would take me a few months to test other similar tools. Im stocker Uploads to any agency using ftp, and right now you select the categories, attach model releases and upload, then you can go and submit the photos, for agencies like adobe, shutter stock, pond 5 and getty it has automatic submissions but not for other agencies.
😳Wow 30,000 photos! I don’t know how you do it! I only managed to post 6000 photos in 6 years and that still only earns me 300 dollars per month... And what's more, Paypal takes 4% of my income to change the dollars into yen!😢 Like you live in the United States you don't have this problem, lucky you!😄 My portfolio focuses on Japanese pop culture and tourism.🎌 It takes me between half an hour and several hours to process a single photo in Photoshop. I think I'm too meticulous because I'm a computer graphic designer by trade... I always try to put my photos taken with my Sony α7R3 in the best possible quality with 7000 or 6000 pixels on the longest side, but maybe I should put them just with 4000 pixels to have less details to deal with ? Can you tell me if you have a preferred size for your photos? Do you have any advice for me to deal with them more quickly? It's a shame that we can't put a URL in RU-vid comments, but if you want you can see my portfolio in the name of ✨Kuremo✨ on all stock photography sites. Thank you!😅
