Are you a stock photographer that's wondering why you're not making any sales or getting any downloads? Are you trying to bring in passive income with generic photos in saturated categories on Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock Photo or any other stock photography platform? It is difficult to sell photos in saturated categories, although not completely impossible. In this video, I talk about one way I have sold my generic photos of beaches, wildlife and other common topics on Shutterstock.

I am uploading images to Shutterstock for about 9 months so far and it really surprises me what is selling. Sometimes it is the most generic photo that I thought would never sell which I uploaded just to fill my gallery :), something like my sister drinking a coffee from a mug, or a view from my window at random houses around. Also my dog sells quite often, which is also a big surprise considering how saturated that field is, but yeah, I made it more specific by putting some keywords like dog is doing that and that, what kind of breed it is, what emotional state is he at the moment of capturing, sad, curious, angry, happy, cheerful... all of that contributes :)

Regarding 07:55 and the issue of photos being rejected for whatever reason: I found out that simply reuploading photos does the trick sometimes. I'm not familiar with Shutterstock's internal process when it comes to accepting/rejecting photos, but in this case (waterfall and 'private property'), I'd give it a try.

Yes, in that case I would definitely reupload it first and try that before resorting to editorial.

In the spring I photographed bluebells in a local wood and almost didn’t bother uploading because there are thousands of more attractive bluebell woodland shots on Shutterstock. However it became one of my best sellers and just three keywords show - new, forest and the location which is unique; also I guess with downloads it moves up the pages and gets found as you say in “similars” for buyers wanting more generic views.

Hi Nicole, that feature of finding the keywords that led to the download would be very helpful and your tip to look at "Top performers" helped me to find it. Without it, I was lost. I see actually that you have to click on "Show more" at the right side of a picture to see this keyword info. It is a pity that in the whole list this "Show more" appears only about 1 every 10 pictures. I don't understand the criteria that determines, which image has this keyword statistics.

It made me think how we always dream of going places, but never think about the difficulties we might face. I have a suggestion for a video- what would you suggest to photograph if you live in a small country or in a region where there isn't much newsworthy events to cover or where stock photography is not popular to operate with.

I have a beach photo which was downloaded 14 times on Shutterstock. In terms of performance, I thought that was quite reasonable but another microstocker actually said that's really bad and that I should give up and quit microstock. My gosh, there are so many naysayers in microstock. Well, I'm not quitting. I'm staying in the game regardless of what that guys thinks or says. Plus I'm happy with all the payouts Ive made from different agencies so I don't really see a reason to quit.

I am an advertiser, sometimes I need generic photos, sometimes I need specific photos so I will use very specific keywords. Esp when it comes to advertising, we have to feature the actual product, location and country and not generic stuff

Loved your video thanks, Question: if I haven't yet sold any footage on shutter how can I get info regarding more popular keywords (as you mentioned in your id) thanks!

There's no tool that will tell you "this is what people are searching for on Shutterstock that has no competition". If it was that easy we'd all be millionaires. ;) It's a combination of following the news / what's trending, browsing the platform to see what's saturated or not and trial and error.

Nicole Glass of course not. And that is not what I was saying. You said in your video that there is an option to see within the vids that were already sold, what keywords people were looking for in order to find your vid, true ? If so, what I asked is how can a beginner who has not yet sold any vids, know what are considered “stronger” key words. Is it possible to see it on videos sold by others? Or go to a popular video and check what we’re the most popular words used by people to find it ? Your reply made it seem as if my question was stupid, yet, although I don’t have a lot of experience in this field I tend to think that knowing what keywords are stronger, more popular or most relevant for your specific vid, would not stop competition or make us all millionaires... competition would still relay mainly on quality and choice of the footage one makes. Am I correct ?

@@DanPun Ah okay, I didn't quite understand your question. Unfortunately this tool is only available on your own contributor panel for your own photos. So once you have some photos up and some sales behind you, you'll be able to analyze why the successful ones did well. You can't see this data for anyone else's photos.

Tim Argentum I was wondering the exact same thing! I’ve been on Shutterstock for a year but never knew this info was available.
