Are you guys actually making money with it ? I just started my world travel journey and was wondering if I could make some money of my iphone videos. If yes does anyone have reccomondations for me on what to upload ? How long should the videos be ? With a person in it or just landscape ? Any thing that works extremely good ?

Unstabilized with Catalyst Browse is way better

Can I post the images I publish on adobe stock later on wirestock?...

Please subscribe now

Can you upload the horizontal version of a vertical video you submitted to a website like Pond5? or can you only upload footage once

I paid for it. But def not happy with them. Looking at artgrid. But they are not cheap.

Wirestock is a big scam platform! They pay you a fraction of the money they get and when you delete content form their platform they keep using it and selling it without authorization!!!!!! NEVER USE THIS PLATFORM!

wirestock. shrugs

Hi! I need your help! Is Shutterstock withdraw taxes automatically or I need to pay by myself when submit tax return? US resident. Thank you

Why I can’t find app on the App Store ? I have the app on my old phone but it crashes out when I try to submit…

Thanks!

Just subscribed, and after swimming around and failing to get started, ended up here looking for further info. Mmmm. I tried again and went to Ai generate, entered a prompt, but no obvious 'generate' button...more swimming about! My conclusion is; I will now unsubscribe and lose my $13. 2, tell everyone about how I couldn't even upload my first photo or find help. Seem like a sophisticated scam to me...

It’s dead again. They made one contest and then died again.

October1000 :) Great Content Thank you!

Agree 👍 The premium subscriptions like $12.99 is wild. Like ive been on platform like year or 2 and uploaded few hundreds pictures here and there. But obviously didn't make any money few cents only. No newbies or mediums hobby photographer's going tp pay that money for subscriptions when wont get anything back in return. Wirestock definitely needs to change the membership and amounts of submissions a month etc. It will be only place for the "big fish" contributors.

So do the unused submissions roll over to the next month, or you lose them?

Awesome work

Wirestock WTAF?!

Really Great video Question please.. if I used the normal pics I taken and covert into a cartoon style with befunky website..its not listed as an ai Like the other programes they have.. Would it be ok to submit to adobe stock I the normal way without ticking the ai box ? As I don't want to get my account suspended Kind regards

I’m not posting on Wirestock anymore. They lost me at the paid plans. The AI stuff is an interesting approach too. Hope you’re doing well Joel!

It was great to have you both over for dinner. We are looking forward to doing it again.

Great video Joe👍 what set up do you use for those in car videos they are very stable

Joel - I'm always motivated by watching your stock photography videos. I hope you keep making them. Although I don't travel the world to get the kind of photos you get, I was glad to see that your tilapia photo sold. That's more like the type of photo I might take. No model release required to photograph a fish.

October1000, thanks for sharing, Joel!

Anyone else submit to EyeEm? If so, did you end up with a flurry of sales like I did?

i think process videos would be cool, i enjoy editing tutorials and walkthroughs. i also like the sales updates, it helps understand what's got traction in the market. thanks for doing those.

Thanks for the update! Wish you a great new year, including health and success with stock! It does indeed take ages to edit these stock earnings videos. Let's plan a collaboration this year?

Thank You for new video and happy new year 2024

Happy New Year Joel! Looking for images for the earning reports is pretty time consuming - I have always tried to keep a good balance and prevent the video from getting too long. My thoughts? I am not too concerned about images in the earning reports, although it is nice to see what others are posting. Personally, I always like to see how people create their images from being out in the field and right up to post processing. I would watch that for sure. And if you can use your travel footage for both channels somehow?

I don't know you Joel! Just saw your video accidentally, I don't know what you are even talking about, but my inner voice told me to give a comment for you, and wish you the best in 2024🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Thanks for the update Joel! Hope you’re able to get everything sorted out and excited to hear you have a film project coming up. Screensharing on OBS might be a good way to streamline some of your stock photography videos. The info is already there and you’re a good speaker. The film making experience is one of your competitive edges without a doubt. KZbin is tough for sure.

Hi Joel, thanks for the update and I hope your health improves this coming year. I would enjoy seeing how you make money doing your photography and travel jobs. Less talk more showing. An 8 minute day in a life and tips and tricks etc. Hope this helps.

What to expect going forward in to 2024 and Why I haven't posted as much lately. Do you like the crazy AI generated Thumbnail Image? Have a Happy and Safe New Year!

Good to see you Joel! it's also been some time since I've posted; busy as well with other projects and also trying to figure out how to streamline the stock photography reports -- they do take forever! In the field gear reviews would be good

u have a pretty nice wife!!!

An honest review. Thank you so much!

Imagine if Sony incorporated Catalyst Browse built in directly into their camera line for stabilization instead of relying on a separate computer process. That would truly be revolutionary!

Hi all! I want to share my experience with Wirestock so that you can have an idea of how things can become a nightmare with them and how they do not protect the artists who are their main source of profit. I opened an account at wirestock 1 or 2 years ago when I heard about them and wanted to try their system if it was worth it. And uploaded maybe a dozen of files to the system. I only got a few sales from their system. Few days ago (December 2023) I got an email from them which said my account was suspended because of some "suspicious activity". First I thougth it might be a scam and sent an e-mail to them using their support e-mail address which was on their website. And I started an email traffic. I should add that I didn't upload any files to their system for a long time and I even don't remember when I last logged in to their system. I am sure I am not the source of this "suspicious activity". They refused to give me any details about this "suspicious activity". They didn't even try to help me and solve this problem. What they did was just to request a photo of my ID card to investigate further. First I did not give it to them because all my trust to them was gone. Then I sent it just to be able to log in to the website and delete all my files from their system. But after submitting my ID they said they decided to close the case and my account would not be recovered. And when I asked about my earnings on their system (which is only a few dollars and which is nothing to me) they said they reserve the right not to make any further payments! And they tie all of these to their "terms of service". And they decided to sit on my earnings. Just like that! Yes we sign terms when we sign up to any service but we are human and think a service which earns their profit by the hard works of artists should protect the artists' rights and be more "human" in the face of any negative issue. I am writing these to spread the word an warn people about how they handle things and how artists can loose their earnings on wirestock. I am grateful I didn't upload more than a few files to them and loose so much of my precious time and money and trust. They may just say there has been some "suspicious activity" and shut the doors to your face!

Thank you Sir for informative video!

I appreciate how you call the photos out by their description. Editorial images don’t seem to go into AI training if you ever want to avoid that. Thanks for putting these out!

Hi, Joel Thank you for taking your valuable time and sharing such useful information. I recently noticed a terrible shake in a video shot using a gimbal, and since I can't go back in time to that place, I was looking up image stabilization programs and came across this video. The performance of the Topaz video AI looks so good. As you mentioned, the processing speed is slow, but I can wait for it because the good results are guaranteed. I'm using Vegas Pro, and the built-in image stabilizer plugin in Vegas Pro is also not as good as Topaz, but the perceived processing speed seems to be about 10 times faster. I plan to work with Topaz and the default plugin in parallel in the future. Thanks again for the useful information, it was very helpful. Thank you. - Brandon
