How to Write Keywords for Shutterstock, and 11 other agencies at one time!

[@PhilJonesIII]

I'd never heard of Adobe Bridge so, thanks for that. The big reason I haven't subscribed to multiple sites is the amount of time it takes to generate entries for all the photos. I photograph plants and flowers mostly and use scientific names. Difficult to remember so I've tried various methods of saving the keywords using Excell and Notepad. Still time-consuming but the Adobe Bridge looks like it could speed things up a lot. Thanks again.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Glad to help! The top 3 are definitely worth it.

[@MaxKagarliksky]

Yep! I just started to use shutterstock and also found their keyword tool very useful and firstly I upload files onto shutterstock to get the keywords.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Good job! Focus mainly on Adobe Stock and Istock and if you have enough patience you can think of other agencies too.

[@MaxKagarliksky]

Jacek Sopotnicki Yes, I have Getty and Adobe accounts. Interesting, but Getty makes much more spellings for me then Adobe for now. There is another great thing about Shutterstock is the speed of reviewing. Some times it is about 30 minutes or less.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Dzięki, to dla mnie bardzo ważne, motywujące.

[@JeevesTCW]

Really well presented thank you. I have only submitted to Alamy in the past, its time I used several especially as sales since Feb have been hopeless.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Alamy is nice but it's for sure not enough to make decent amount of extra money. Good decision to expand!

[@CatMilton1]

Thank you - not a process I've seen before (never even heard of Adobe Bridge!) Fantastic - added to Favourites!

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Thanks! It really works and can optimise your own process.

Hi! You are very welcome

[@michalgrela8198]

One of the best videos about keywording on YT! Thank You! In my case this workflow doesn't work with videos. I don't know why, but after import keyworded files on getty or adobe stocks - keywords disappear :( There are none. Titles and descriptions are also missing.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Kewording videos is a bit annoying, I'll post a video about it soon

[@umbertomariano4110]

Dzięki wielkie za podzielenie się wiedzą, pozdrawiam!

Really like your channel. Could you list the steps with chapters in the description?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

it's a very good idea, but I'm lazy ;)

[@GarethWong]

Nice tip Jack got tonnes of photos might start uploading them to the agencies with your suggestions/tips. curious, where, how you get the ftp info from each of the agencies? guess they identify you via the meta data in the photos.. ?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Each agency will give you individual ftp access

[@gametv4u343]

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it!

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marcinet2797]

Great chanell! Thank you for dooing it. Maybe some video showing you editing videos for stock? To know where is a line of under/over edited video.

Hi, nice video. Good explanation. Hope can see more on explane shoot what kind of video footage is sell best. Or which kind of video footage we should uplond to sell?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Yes, I have 2 episodes about it already recorded and just waiting to edit and upload it! So stay tuned!

[@md1983]

Super odcinek, dodam że można używać też total Commandera jako FTP i opisywać fotki w Lr ale zauważyłem że zdjęcia które mają w nazwie jakąś cyfrę nie chcą się wysłać do shutterstock a jak te cyfry kasuje to już jest ok. Luks trick dałeś z tym opisem pierw na Ss. Pozdro!! Ps. Fajnie że nie ukrywasz swoich zarobków to doceniam.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Hej, dzięki za szacun! Transparencja była od początku moją idea. Do total commander'a mam sentyment używałem go już na swoim pierwszym pececie :)

[@denisesilvaart]

I love your videos. Short and on point, no time-wasting. I have 2 questions: 1) Do you upload to Snapwire? What do you make of it? 2) Do smartphones have enough quality to upload on those platforms? Thanks!

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Hey! Thank you. I don't upload to snapwire. And yes smartphone can be used for stock photo / video but you have to have the right subject, since you can't compete with quality of Pro camera with Pro lens.

[@artoffoto3789]

Check IMS Keyworder tool? Did you hear about it?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Just checked it, looks great actually very similar to the one provided by Shutterstock. With that difference that Shutterstock is not the most liked stock agency now, to say at least

[@priyankparekh3793]

HI Thanks a lot for showing this Neat trick it will be really useful thing for everyday use. So i am just starting out with stock photography, which all websites you would recommend me to upload my content to? Thanks in advance 😊

[@lucasdeaver9192]

where did you get the FTP info for each stock house? I've never heard of this technique. How does it know to show your images in your account?

[@kotence777]

Why don't use xpics? It is free and is practicly the same as sutterstock keywording tool. It is two steps less to do. After keywording in expics the keywords are in the photo and you have to put it in Bridge or Photoshop.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

That's interesting, can you send me the link to that service/software?

[@Sobitsaid]

Can you help me with one problem? I want to know if I can upload the same photo to the other stock agencies that I uploaded on Shutterstock?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Sure. Short - yes :) Hope it helps

[@garyculley9939]

Please, help me, Jacek, I chose 10 still images to grow more agencies instead of just two. I placed in Shutterstock with 5-10 keywords to jumpstart the keyword process there. Using the system I increased the keywords to 40-50. I moved to Bridge. My images were each changed with keywords from Shutterstock (using copy keywords)to create my "loaded" file folder. I used the Keywords tab for adding keywords and the metadata tab for adding the description. I moved each file to my new subfolder for expanding my empire. Hahaha. I moved to FileZilla and made connections to Pond5 and Adobe. It's great how quickly that works with multiple tabs. FTP was smooth. They show up at the 2 sites. Seems the description moved perfectly. My files though have 5-10 keywords. Not 40-50. Bad news. I was just curious so I check the file by clicking "command I" and there they are. What!? Yes, the keywords are in the file but did not make the trip to the agency dashboard. What did I do wrong?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Huh difficult to tell, is it pond 5 problem only?

[@garyculley9939]

@@JacekSopotnicki Jacek, thanks for your work. No, not Pond5 only. I am interested in your final result. That is, larger number of agencies without large amount of time dealing with input. Have you tried the spreadsheet approach to entry? Have you tried IMStocker software for keyword creation?

[@2TravelXplorers]

Nooo pięknie majster to wytłumaczyłeś😁Zaje poradnik i tak trzymać 👍 Mam pytanie również. Czy można tak samo zrobić z tymi słowami kluczowymi tylko z plikami video?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Tak, ale to trochę bardziej skomplikowane. Musisz wygenerować pliki CSV i nie każdy stock to czyta. Najważniejsze to chwytają.

[@Joe-mk2yq]

Great video - thanks for it! And what video stocks, how can i add keywords, description etc andupload them? Is it in the same way? Thanks in advance 😊

[@JacekSopotnicki]

I upload to those stocks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hInaZmCAj71lj8k

[@karolmikina5263]

Cześć Jacku, świetny film i mega tip :) Czy upload video działa w ten sam sposób?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Hej! Dzięki za słowa uznania! Tak, wideo działa tak samo. Niektóre stocki podają odrębny adres ftp do wideo, ale zasada się nie zmienia.

[@Mark-hd2xs]

Witam, zacżalem przygodę ze stockami. czy może Pan mi doradzić jak rozliczać się w Polsce z tego co zarobimy na bankach zdjęć?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

My poprosiliśmy o to zaprzyjaźnione biuro rachunkowe, biorą bardzo mało, rozliczenie jest proste i płacimy tylko raz w roku. Osobiście nie bardzo wiem jak to się rozlicza, ale podatku nie trzeba od tego płacić ponieważ jest już rozliczony w kraju w którym znajduje się bank zdjęć.

[@Mark-hd2xs]

@@JacekSopotnicki Bardzo dziękuje za odpowiedź. Gdybym potrzebował pomocy - mogę napisać do Pana w celu pomocy z tym wszystkim? Jeśli mogę zadać jeszcze pytanie - rozliczamy się w tym samym czasie co z normalnego pitu? w marcu/kwietniu? Pozdrawiam ps: czy każde biuro będzie umiało mi w tym pomóc, czy lepiej zgłosić się do tego co Pan rozlicza? :)

[@MiguelMarnoto]

I'm learning about stock photography and your tutorials are really very helpful. Thank you very much. One question: I have Bridge but I only use Lightroom, do you think I can use Lightroom the same way to enter the keywords to the exif file? Thanks and greetings from Portugal. You say Albufeira very well 😉 almost like a Portuguese.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Yes you can! Absolutely Lightroom offers very nice interface to do the same thing. Greetings from Faro!

Good tips, but how do you do for editorial images? All the agencies have different requirements for dates, years in different orders and different descriptions. Any tips for editorial? I see this only working for commercial. I would appreciate some help. Thanks

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Good question! We always use that scheme: City, Country - Month Day, Year: Description and it always works. Hope it helps :)

[@mariuszsienko]

Jacek, thanks for sharing Your ritch experience. And my question is: Why do You pick Adobe Bridge instead of let's say Adobe Lightroom? I tend to write my keywords in Lr and it seems to work just fine. Do You see any cons of it? And the second question is about 5 most important keywords for Adobe Stock. Are those keywords (written in Br or Lr) not set in alphabetical order? It's weird to me that Adobe Stock recognizes that. But if it really works on Br, that's also answer for my first question. Good Luck!

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Hey, thanks for reaching out. I just got used to bridge, if Lightroom works better for you it's great but ultimately it doesn't really matter. As far as I know it's just first five you have attached to the picture.

[@mariuszsienko]

@@JacekSopotnicki Ok, I'll check it out in Lr with next upload. If it don't work, I'll go with Bridge too. Thanks :)

Cześć. Zrobiłem wszystko tak jak pokazałeś. Świetny sposób. Niestety w Dreamstime, Depositphotos i 123RF nie widać przesłanych plików. Jaka może być tego przyczyna? Miałeś może podobnie z którymś z tych stockow? W innych stockach pliki są widoczne np Adobe czy BigStock.

[@JacekSopotnicki]

cześć! Wrzucasz foto czy wideo? To pierwsze pytanie, żeby ustalić co jest na rzeczy.

[@tomekczarny4]

Cześć, a czy metadata w RawTherapy też działa, sprawdzałeś to kiedyś?

[@JacekSopotnicki]

Tak sprawdzałem dawno temu I o ile pamiętam działało. Ale nie gwarantuję na 100%. Można zrobić próbę na kilku zdjęciach i wrzucić na shutterstock oraz adobe stock i wszystko będzie na 100% jasne.
