I've been selling stock footage for nearly 3 years now and the my sales keep going up and up! It's not a simple process but it fills the slow seasons and I think it's worth the long term investment. Hope you enjoy this transparent perspective on stock footage!

I'm averaging around $3000 a year on my 1600-ish clips. So it can happen. I look at the market and see where there isn't a lot of stock footage and try to fill those gaps.

How do you get people towards your stock footage? What I’m really asking is how do you market your footage on sites like shutterstock so people see it
@JKCvideo
@JKCvideo 9 ай бұрын
Honestly a great question! When you upload your content, be it directly to Shutterstock or through a 3rd party aggregate link BlackBox, you'll be prompted to write up a clip description AND include metadata. That's a set of words that are relevant to your clip. Definitely take the time to compile a list of good words that other people will use to search for your content, it makes a big difference!

That's a difficult question to answer! I've sold many shots of cities but New York is bound to have a lot of stock footage based purely on how many people live there. I'd go on stock sites and look up things you're considering filming, if you can't find visuals of your local landmark then you should definitely go and film it for stock footage!

Hi! What mic are you using to get clear audio in your videos since you are wearing a pin mic? Thank you!!!!
@JKCvideo
@JKCvideo Жыл бұрын
This video was actually recorded using our overhead shotgun microphone, the Sennheiser MKH 416 (amzn.to/3EQu2AY) but when we do use a pin/lavalier/lapel microphone we use the Sennheisver AVX set (amzn.to/3AwsIAw). Both of these are pretty expensive but worth the money in the long run. If you're saving money, you could get a cheaper shotgun microphone and still get great quality but the Sennhesier AVX series is SO NICE! The wireless channels automatically shift to avoid interference and in the 5 years I've been using them I've never had an issue. Best of luck navigating what gear will work well for you!

The GH6 will definitely work! A LOT of my content was filmed on the GH5. Our team has recently upgraded to the S1H but we can't even upload 6K media so it's not offering a whole lot more to our stock footage game. I almost always slow down the high frame rate content to a native 24fps so that the editor can see what it's like in true slow motion before committing.

100% ~ that said, I've seen people create stock footage as a full time job and they make a ridiculous amount of money now because they already put in the upfront investment. That said, who knows how long those sales will continue for!

1. If you should youtube videos for your own personal channel. Can you post clips from the same footage onto a stock footage website? 2. Thinking of starting stock footage with a DJI pocket 3, but do clips shot using a full mirrorless lense get better sales? 3. Can you submit your stock footage to multiple stock footage sites?
@JKCvideo
@JKCvideo 10 ай бұрын
1. Yes, you still own that content! However I would NOT sell content that you capture for a client. 2. I've had high yielding sales from cell phone footage. Worry less about the gear and more about creating content that people need! 3. Yes but if you do what I do and upload your footage to BlackBox.Global then they will share your stock footage to multiple sites automatically!

How long does it take for you to actually make good money? If I post a really great photo does it take months to generate an actual income? Wouldn't be more profitable to print and frame them to sell at markets? so confused. I have some pretty beautiful photos of architecture. I'm really afraid of people taking screen shots and use it for free giving access to it to millions of people. ugh :(

I have about 20 shots to get started. They are all really good IMO. Is it worth getting into this or do I actually need thousands of clips to have any chance?
@JKCvideo
@JKCvideo 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on what your goal is! As pointed out in the video, a majority of my shots have never sold and honestly probably never will. You really just need a handful of sought out clips to make money. That said, a good clip to you or me may not be what the marketing firm is hoping to license. All I can really say is, you won't make money from those 20 shots if you don't upload them and if you do then who knows, you could bring in some rainy day money over time!

The truth: you won't selling the clips uploaded 3 years ago. it's like a match to be consumed by the flame over time! So you need to continue upload more and more to match earning 700$ each year. You are also competing with video from mobiles too. Market saturation is bigger now. Soon you realize that effort will not pay so much as you expect it in a long term. But it's fun and good money to take aside from your Job. I know more people that quit upload to stock footage now than ever before. Most Important: Do Not Quit your job for this. All the best, cheers !

You do definitely need to upload A LOT of content to make any kind of money. In reality, a lot of the algorithms that determine which shots will sell are out of the hands of the creators so we're all rolling the dice and hoping it pans out!
