Thanks Jeff. I’m seeing a trend where video sales are reducing. It’s ironic because we used to be told to focus on video and less photography because videos pay more.

@JWhyte123 Месяц назад

Totally agree. Given the extra work that comes with video, its almost not as valuable as a good photo. I am still liking the drone shots, but video just doesn't have that value anymore.

Thanks. Always good to get a reference point. Some of the ridiculous RPD sites raise some eyebrows. Motion Array, less than 17 cents.?!? Not sure allowing them to take advantage of your work to that degree is a good idea. Yeah, I know none of the RPDs in stock these days are great, but that's obscene.

@JWhyte123 2 месяца назад

Yes. That's true, totally agree. The thing is that there are way more sales on Motionarray. So if you look at it by monthly revenue per image uploaded rather than per image downloaded, you get a number that is pretty comparable or better than the other sites. Royalty per download can be misleading in a way. As far as RPD generally? Its better to look at an image long term. With micro..... 1 download is never going to be good.

@pwx8460 2 месяца назад

@@JWhyte123 Sure, but there would be even more downloads if they just gave it away for free and you earned 0 for an RPD. How many of those sales could have been with your higher RPD sites if Motion didn't exist? I don't think rewarding sites racing to the bottom will be good for your portfolio and business long term.

@JWhyte123 2 месяца назад

I have had the exact same thought - consequences long term for participating in a site like Motionarray for my portfolio on the better stock sites. I don't have a great answer. I could say they have different client bases, but that could change long term as you say. The free stock photo libraries have been a disaster for stock. And AI might kill this all anyway. The business generally looks bad in the future regardless of the Motionarray vs. shutter stock vs. adobe stock, etc.

@pwx8460 2 месяца назад

@@JWhyte123 Yup AI is scary for sure, especially for studio type work easily 'created' in AI. Never understood the business model of the free sites (nor why people contribute), just some side-bar add revenue or something else. Best of luck in 24' and hopefully beyond....

Thank you for the motivation. Watched your video till the end. I wonder why you do not upload to blackbox anymore. I am thinking the same not to as I am uploading on multiple agencies since January this year. I have no luck yet. Yes, working with photo stocks is so darn hard work.

@JWhyte123 Месяц назад

Honestly, I like the control over submissions when submitting because every agency is a little different. I find I can submit directly and get the asset accepted because I know the agency well. With Blackbox its a generic submission and I feel like there is a higher rate of rejection and its very difficult to know what happen because they don't tell you which site has accepted or rejected.

Hi Jeff, great work, nice to see you are ok,. I agree about 123RF, very low earner, also DT is not really working for me at this time. Da Vinci videos is I believe helpful for many people.

@JWhyte123 Месяц назад

Thanks Miro. Hope you are enjoying a nice warm summer!

Hi Jeff, out of curiosity how many clips do you have with Blackbox? Thanks for the insight.

@JWhyte123 2 месяца назад

184 clips uploaded - some of which are pretty marginal. That said, I have had a number of sales. Just not many.

@LakesideProductions 2 месяца назад

@@JWhyte123 ahh ok. I had been uploading to Pond5 solely in the past and moved to Blackbox 4 and a half years ago. Making consistent income with 10k+ clips now. A few hundred clips at the beginning were pretty low quality to be honest but I've since honed in on them going forward. You should give Blackbox another run.

@aziatik Месяц назад

Hi Jeff, Thank you for the info.. Just want to ask if you need a model release with people on your travel photos that you sold? Is it ok to if they are not looking or their faces are not visible?

@JWhyte123 Месяц назад

All editorial, not commercial. Sites like Adobe don't take them even as editorial images, so you shoot selectively for the various sites. So, no releases.
