[@wollertz]

Bambi has friends everywhere. Thanks for watching till the end 😁. Stock should be fun and enjoyable, life is stressful enough 🤷‍♂

[@EvaJ976]

Your channel rocks and you always make it fun 🤩😍

[@wollertz]

Thank you 🤗

Great video, my first 50 submissions took weeks to be accepted on Adobe stock, was limited to 50 submissions at that time but it’s increased now, I have approximately 100 pictures on Adobe stock now and yesterday I got an email one of my pictures sold, I was like wow really??😅 with just 100 pictures in my portfolio lol

[@wollertz]

That’s awesome! Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing 🙌

[@privatename8228]

You have the cutest laugh! And of course you are also a wealth of information. Thank you!

[@wollertz]

You are welcome, thanks so much for the comment!

[@ArieVanderwyst]

I made a comment yesterday but I guess it didn't come through somehow, so I was telling you that I appreciated this channel so much, learned a lot of things and basically enjoy the content anyway that I joined as a member last night and I know a lot more videos like this one will follow and I wish you Charles lots and lots of success 🎉🎉🎉❤😊 feeling happy to join this club 😀🙏🏻

[@wollertz]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you are finding value in these videos, I’m having a great time sharing what I’ve learned and I continue to learn more with each video. Thanks so much for the support and encouragement 🙌

[@wollertz]

And I checked, I do not have any comments 🤔

[@ArieVanderwyst]

@@wollertz I assume it got messed up because I joined your channel at the same time, members have a special section in the comments, maybe that's why...but no problem at all, I just noticed because normally you answer pretty quickly... thanks for checking and replying 😊

Love your fire service clips!

[@wollertz]

Thank you 😁

[@pauldarville3843]

Thanks Charlie, great encouragement!

[@wollertz]

I’m glad it worked! I was a bit worried since I don’t feel comfortable talking about sales and numbers, but this just felt a little different. Thanks for the comment 🙌

[@harddriverecordingandfilmsNY]

Very inspiring charles! Thank you again sir

[@wollertz]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 🙌🏼

[@gashead2]

[@wollertz]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙌

Interesting work and ideas👏👏

Thank you! 🙏

@wollertz most welcome 🙏🦋

Today I just got blown away, a very ordinary image just sold for 11.90 on a stock site that normally pays around 0.10 cents.

[@wollertz]

Great news! thanks for sharing, I love it when that happens 🙌🏼

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

Great video! Glad Bambi made it in this one 😊

[@wollertz]

She made me do it 🤷‍♂️

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

@wollertz It was the right choice. I was about to click off, but she finally came on! I'll stay subscribed

I use your list all the time and it has been very rewarding, except I go 3 months ahead, by the time I shoot and edit, and Adobe approves. That B roll looks awesome.

[@wollertz]

Thank you! It’s been fun following the fire department! I’m glad the stock idea list is helping, it does give me ideas when I don’t know what to shoot 😅

[@kigabuma]

Thank you for the video.

[@wollertz]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment 🙌

[@micaht52]

I have begun selling much more as I've watched this channel. You are a wealth of stock photo knowledge helping build a passive income stream. I've already made about $400 in the first year. Which is exciting because I only had to work once for it

[@wollertz]

Congratulations 🙌 I am so happy to hear this, and so glad this info has helped. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@BandaraThilakarathna-hq6tx]

hello dear, which lens should buy for drinks photographs?

[@wollertz]

I like anything from 50mm to about 100mm with a large aperture so a 50mm 1.2 or 1.4, or a 70-200 2.8 is a favorite of mine, or an 85mm 1.2 or1.4

[@BandaraThilakarathna-hq6tx]

@@wollertz thanks dear, I buy 70-200 2.8 lens

[@1963jrau]

What is your opinion on Wirestock?

[@wollertz]

A big NO! years ago it was great, then they changed thier plans and it is impossible unless all you do is AI images

[@1963jrau]

@@wollertz Thank you for your reply. What is your suggestion for the best stock site to start with?

[@wollertz]

First decide if you want to be exclusive or not, if you do, Getty would be the most popular option, if not exclusive, Adobe, shutterstock and ESP by Getty are my best sellers

[@1963jrau]

@@wollertz Thank you for your help :)

[@Northumberlandwoodlands]

Can I ask..do I have to put in the date and location when I submit abstract images for editorial..I've just had one refused with shutterstock

[@wollertz]

Illustrative editorials don't requiere a date unless it is important for context, what was the refusal reason?

[@Northumberlandwoodlands]

​@@wollertzmetadata requirements

[@wollertz]

Metadata Requirements Description/Title A description/title is a factual sentence that describes the content’s subject matter. When submitting documentary editorial content, descriptions also must include the following: The day, month, and year the content was taken. For content shot before the year 2000, only the year/decade is required. The geographical location where the image was taken. Descriptions/titles must be relevant and applicable to the content you are submitting. The maximum length of a description/title is 200 characters. Descriptions/titles must be in English, however, exceptions are made for scientific Latin names of plants and animals, names of places, and foreign terms or phrases commonly used in the English language.

Nice video with a good point, Also i got a one question i just uploaded around 260 photo in the past year wich the 150 are from the last 6 months, in first sixt monhts i only made 10 cents but in the last i made 1 dollar, will the downloads keep going up with the time and arounf when can i except around 10dollars a month?, Thanks for uploaindg such helping videos and huge greeting!

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much for the comment! As far as sales go, it totally depends on subject matter, season, and algorithm, that’s why I recommend uploading weekly images to keep the algorithm happy and more sales coming, if you have good quality relevant photos you can expect around between $10 and $100 per thousand photos

[@soovy2903]

hello sirrr!!!! im proud to announce that i submitted 30 ish photos and in total 25 have been approved!!!! I just am wondering what do i do with those approved pics? do i gotta do something or wait more? im kinda lost on that,,, also in the future when i get paid, how does that work? dont i have to give my card info something to transfer it to my bank??. but anyways, im looking forward to my imporvement!

[@soovy2903]

thank u for motivating mee! yayyyy

[@wollertz]

That’s great! Congratulations, there’s nothing more to do, just keep uploading photos, when you reach the minimum payout amount and you want to receive payments you have to follow the agencies instructions, most use PayPal and then you link PayPal to your bank

[@soovy2903]

Thanks for the reply! And which agencies? I have to reach out to a company? Because right now i have no connections to agencies ,,, never had experince of working with agencies either

[@terrybrooks395]

I gave up with stock imaging last week, complete waste of time, it was taking sometimes more than 3 months for Adobe to process submissions, I guess due to massive amounts of AI garbage being added, with these quantities of computer generated images the market place is becoming very much watered down, of course the agencies will still be raking in the cash though. How irritating is it to find one of your images blown up 8ft tall and 12ft wide on commercial premises and knowing you got about 90 cents for that.

[@wollertz]

Stock is not for everyone 🤷‍♂️ Best of luck!
