Holy sh*t, that was the best intro I've seen in a while. The cuts are interesting and the music epic.

[@bobstringer9809]

Amazing video... I've been "on-set" with top American Actors and none have gone on camera as long as you without stumbling on their words. You'd be an outstanding actress.

[@miguelervite]

Thank you for this. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Great tips! No fluff or messing around telling life stories. Thanks for the video. Are there any specific platforms that would be best for beach drone photography/ videography?

[@travelandroll]

You nailed the subject very briefly and professionally. Thanks!

[@learnwithshopify]

I appreciate that! Super happy that you found it helpful 😀

[@eLearningBizTec]

@Geoffrey, how specifically did she "nail it", really? Did you see any additional sales after watching her or are you just impressed by a hottie-millenial giving you advice, and you fell for it? What specifically is the *real* value her advice gave you here?! I'd like to know, because then I might immediately do what all these totally inexperienced young peeps tell me to (who haven't had to really earn their money off photography, as they have a steady employee-paycheck and health + dental from Shopify's marketing department). Not yet convinced, but you can convince me, if you really can tell me what it's worth in dollars and cents. If you can't tell, then I'll gather it's not working in real life. Would be great to hear from ya' though!

[@GAMINGKILLER2]

Do you think i could sell them to tourists?? I would ask them to take photo of them (couples, group of friends or old couple) for like 3-5$ (€ at me)?? Do you think it could work?

Hi Michelle, I am very new to looking at selling my photos, so thank you so much for your great in-depth video. First question though. . How do I attach my name to my photos before posting on-line? Thank you

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there, Shelly and Grant! Great question. It sounds like you would want to watermark your photos, which is a great idea to prevent theft. You can read about how to do this in our Guide to Selling Photos Online (along with plenty of other great tips): bit.ly/36cBd7F.

Great advice. What camera specifications are good enough?

[@alvaro93364]

Any full frame digital camera without a crop sensor. Have multiple lenses. One has to be a telephoto, another macro lens and then any in between that you like. The rest is up to you. How you take pictures will determine the outcome.

Do you know if all the others stock photography sites besides Alamy are also not exclusive or is it just with Alamy?

Hi, Angelin. Thanks for your question. I suggest reviewing the help center for each of the available stock photography websites as policies often change. Are you wanting to upload your photos to multiple sites?

Of the stock photography sites you mentioned, which do you think is the best for making the most money

Hi, Daniel! Shuttershock seems to be the most popular choice, but I do not have access to data around which site is best for making money in general. I think it is best to try them all out, and find which one works best for you. I hope this helps!

[@louisruth9348]

All great ideas in an oversaturated market! The market for selling images and licenses since COVID has dropped so low. Have you really looked on the image stock (now micro stock) websites to see your competition? Buy a camera and call yourself a professional and feed the already oversaturated stock market (not). Theirs so much talk about selling to make money and yet no-one is really telling you the truth about how hard it is to make good money at selling your images unless you have thousands of images or more per site. Let's be real and don't give false hope. Then the real facts: how much do you really make per image on the stock sites, cents on the dollar. I wish everyone who has invested money in their gear and the time to learn photography the very best. KZbinrs don't make a living selling prints, they make money off of subscribers, classes etc. The times have changed and so has selling your images and unless you have a well known name behind your business. The truth hurts, but its reality.

[@eLearningBizTech]

that's exactly why she mentions *selling from your own site* etc... This is not about pumping yet more stuff to what we can now adequately call *pennystock*-agencies! (If you do, you do so at your own peril.)

Listen, in about 2009 I answered an CL ad to go and take stock photos of myself in many different outfits and clothing in different poses and facial expressions. I didn't know to much about shuttersock of stock photos back then. Yes the paid me a bit of chump change back then..like maybe $200. But I realized just recently that MMMMANY of my photos are still being used right now as stock photos in 2024. I'm 46 now so you can do the math. Is there any way that I can make some money or royalties from all those pictures??? What can I do about this now? What are my options??? Should I get a lawyer involved?

I just tried to open a Spotify page and got this error. I remember now that I got the same error when I tried to start one a couple of years ago. I'm at a stand-still because it won't let me go any further. Account details couldn't be saved. There's a technical problem with Shopify that's preventing your store from being configured properly. Visit our status page(opens a new window) for updates or try submitting the form again.

[@learnwithshopify]

Thanks for this information. In order to properly troubleshoot this, please reach out to our Live Support team using this link (bit.ly/3eNr2bD). Once they verify your access and credentials, they can look at the back end of this store in question to understand what is happening and will be able to provide next possible steps.
