Shutterstock Q&A and stock photography advice for 2019

Күн бұрын

In this video I answer some of the most common questions I get about making money on Shutterstock (and stock photography in general) and give you some overall tips and tricks. Remember, my answers are based on my own personal experience and are by no means an official representation of Shutterstock. Throughout my two and a half years on Shutterstock, I have learned how to generate a decent passive income using the platform. #shutterstock #stockphotography #passiveincome
In this video:
Could you share what is the size of your portfolio and how often you upload?
Do you investigate search results before shooting?
Who prices the photos?
Is there is any way to find out where my photo is being used?
Do you need the FAA drone license for drone photo sales?
Which makes more money, stock footage or monetized KZfaq videos?
Is it better to use your real name or a business or profile name when selling stock photography?
How can I upload photos with logos and trademarks without a release form?
How can I break into the first page of search results on Shutterstock? Is there some algorithm at work behind the scenes?
What type of illustrations and vectors sell most?
How do you edit photos for stock sites?
Is there any significant difference in price / earnings between commercial and editorial photos?

Greetings from Omaha Nicole! I'm a retired photographer/studio owner -- a 50-year shutter-vet. Found you by accident and am glad I did! For years I was on Fuji USA's Talent Team and did seminars around the country for pro associations -- loved it! I'm 76 so I only have another 24 years to invest in our shared passion and seek your advice. Presently I am the volunteer director of a food pantry network that serves several thousand families-in-need. We have several locations -- one of which is the Omaha Indian Reservation 80 miles north of us. I take a month off each year to photograph for our National Park Service -- again, as a volunteer. They use my images on websites, kiosks, and the like. I try to time the trip to also hit migrations like elephant seals, whales, and polar bears -- and to camp with at a few major Native American powwows that are a blast! (I'm of Viking stock, but am an honorary Lakota Sioux elder given the name Igasho - means Wanderer). I've told you a bit about me so you could better advise -- images from which of my enthusiasms would be received best for stock? Answer or no, you have a new fan! Tom Wandel -- fogytrekker@gmail.com (fogy 'cus I'm getting up there and trekker because I love to travel. Love your Energy!!!

I only recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying the content. The people asking about how much money this or that pays are destined to fail at Shutterstock. You should be shooing what you like and what you're passionate about and then capturing that moment the best you can. Once you deviate from that - and start shooting things because it would make a "good upload" - you've already lost.

I just heard that Adobe Stock has started accepting editorials. On another topic, a while ago you suggested photos of local restaurants etc. so having checked that there were hardly any on SS I spent the day doing just that. Who knew there were so many? And a cat cafe for goodness sake! I rejected about half later because of intrusive reflections from cars in windows and people spoiling the images: in one it looked like a couple were having a row inside! So I realise the best time is early morning before many are about although I do like to show some of the interior through a door or window if possible. Anyhow, I await the shekels to roll in!

Hi Nicole the one thing you will have learned by now doing these vlogs is other people’s ignorance of how stock photography works and the sometimes negative attitude of many who fail to succeed. Some are genuine and need guidance or direction cause it is difficult to learn the mine field of image acceptance and the low payouts. Others are just ignorant and have obviously previously failed which you can see from some of the comments on your previous vlogs. Everyone now has a camera which is great but many are totally clueless and have no skill level ..... jeezo am crabbit (Scottish term) better shut up 🤐 keep up the good work lass.

I have been signing in to different stock photo websites to get info on being a contributor. Several of these websites such as Deposit Photos require an upload of official ID - passport, drivers license before getting started while other stock photo websites only ask for official ID after a payment is about to be made. In addition to supplying official ID there is a requirement to fill out and submit a W-9 form in the USA for tax purposes. Do you know which stock photo websites will require official ID and a submitted W-9 form only when a payment is available and not store that private information unless a payment is available? Also do all stock photo websites require official ID to be submitted, does Shutterstock require official ID or just the W-9 form submitted?

@FoxySquad 5 жыл бұрын

I am really wondering about this whole editorial thing. Especially your traveling photos at 7:33 where you show a kid at a parade. I think it was taken somewhere in Germany. In Europe we have a law called DSGVO which can bring you in trouble (I assume that you didn't ask for permission at this photo). Did you ever get in trouble with people you photographed at a parade or something similar?

@NicoleGlass 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Foxy, I took this photo before the new law was adopted. I know things have changed since then so now I always recommend people check their local laws before uploading images. I’m not sure how this law applies to shows (parades and such) where people expect to be photographed, but that would be worth looking into.

You can keep them on your social media, you still own the rights. You may want to watch this video first though... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h82SqJdevpzOXYU.html

Nicole Glass Yes! Thank you. Do the dollar amounts refer to the amount I have earned? It’ll take forever for me to earn $500. I did sell 3 images yesterday, so that was fun. ☺️

@@dazzlingdeb8427 Yes, your total earnings. I think it took me 2-3 months to get my first $500. But that was largely due to my Trump photos... anyway, you can do it!

I don't know how the payments work in India, I would recommend that you talk to "The Teaching Doc", he is in India: kzfaq.info

I have a question too - how come someone can make up to 500$ with average portoflio full of gooses in the city park and dogs sleeping on random places? Why whould someone buy those images? They are not special? Not even editorial or videos, just random city pictures without editing. I've seen a lot of those contributors on ss forum shring their income. I do not see the logic in this. Do you have an answer for that?

I guess the whole Idea of you telling the people your success photos, is teach them about what pictures to upload. Well, if they upload the dryer sheets, they are practicing what you teach, right?
