March 2024: Record High Stock Video Sales!!!
March 2024 stock video sales were my highest so far at $1,257. This is a new record for me, but I know a lot of you are doing even better.
Let's help other creators get there. Please post your average earnings or your highest month. What tips do you have for those of us still learning?
After publishing this, I received a note from Backbox founder and CEO Pat McGowan. He told me datasets are earnings from when companies use your video footage for non-media uses like self-driving vehicles, medical diagnostics and other computer learning. Sorry for the misinformation. The use case that I gave may be the case in the future.

Behind the Scenes Stock Video Shoot: The Veteran

Here are some winter astrophotography and sunset time lapses as well as clips and pictures of wildlife in the Utah desert and mountains.

Writing Descriptive Titles for Stock Video
Thank you very much for sharing, how do you get ideas? I'm just going to start and I can't think of what to record hahaha, greetings.
@@user-pi5gg9ij3y - it can be difficult. Record what you enjoy. If you are not sure, just record anything: doing dishes, reading, nature, anything. See what you like. Don’t worry about sales. Better to follow what you like because sales trends change. Also, find my videos that show what I sold: establishing shots always sell, for example.
Thank you very much for sharing, what document can I have you sign? Is it in black box? I appreciate your help, I just want to start with this, how many videos do you have uploaded to blackbox?
For property and model releases, the forms are on Blackbox. I use an app called Easy Release. I have over 7,000 clips up. This is a long-term process and not easy but I am proof that anyone can do it.
Thank you very much for this content, I am just going to make my registration, I have seen that the results of how many videos there are on the subject no longer appear, it is a shame
Wow, this is perfect
@@user-pi5gg9ij3y - best of luck in your journey.
Do you by chance know how much on average per month you earned when you had about 1000 clips uploaded ?
@@so_l6441 - I made $140 a month. But that doesn’t say much. It greatly depends on the quality and niche. I have a friend with less than 1,500 clips who makes well over $1000 a month on Blackbox. He is very deliberate, only uploads quality footage, and has a unique niche. The number of clips you have is only one indicator of what you can earn. I have zero training and my first 1000 clips were awful. My advice is to focus on quality and diversity of subjects until you find something you love and that sales. I do more and more astrophotography time lapses. I couldn’t be happier. Tools me years to find what I had passion for and the sales pay for all my trips. Best of luck. Anyone can do this. I am proof of that.
@@boycefitzgerald Thank you very much for your advice ! I‘m a 19 year old student and I started uploading a year ago. Your videos have really helped and encouraged me along the way ! I really appreciate your videos
@@so_l6441 - thank you. I haven’t made new videos in a while but I will start up again soon. I am moving to Abu Dhabi and have been going back and forth and just really burned out. Still doing stock video and pics but have not strength to do RUclips.
@@boycefitzgerald I hope everything goes well with you move to Abu Dhabi! Take your time and start uploading new content when you feel better 👍 I wish you the best of luck🤞
@@so_l6441 - thanks you and warm regards.
Great stuff! I just opten in too. THANKS for the advice!!
@@eduardomunoz9447 hope it works out for you.
Thanks for sharing Boyce! Very informative and interesting stuff. Did you opting-in to have your content sold on subscription platforms? I have 1500 clips and small revenue. Not sure if my revenue will be better, or same. Would like to hear from someone like you with expertise on the platform. Thanks a lot in advance and cheers for all great content you create 🙌🏻
@@eduardomunoz9447 - yes, i opted in. My feeling is that any income is better than no income. If you have unique footage, you may be better off not opting in. I shoot time lapses, drone, travel, and editorial - footage that is available to anyone. By the way, I know make over $200 months from subscription sales. That’s money that would otherwise be in someone else’s pocket.
How many videos do you usually post each month or at least in the beginning when you started? I'm two months in, no earnings yet, but posted around 250 clips each month, fully edited, slow motion 4K, from animation to drone shots.
@@DartisticProductions - in the beginning, I had a lot of clips on my hard drive. I uploaded everything and didn’t pay attention to quality. It was about 300 clips and 3 months before I got a sell. I continued to upload about 100 clips a month. Finally, I got a feel for how to do this and what sells and I got more consistent sales. Just keep uploading and before you know it you will have sales every month and your average will grow over time. Best of luck.
Hi. I found this to be the single most informative video on the Zeapon system. I'm very grateful for the information, I have an AXIS 100 (on the way) & PONS + Tilt Arm in hand. Also your replies to viewer questions are also very informative. Your products are incredibly well-done too - great timelapses! A solution you might consider for the app re-install issue could be to download the app to your internal storage and sideload it (this is possible on Android, I don't know about fruit phones).
@@Aperture3D - thank you for your kind comment. It means a lot to me. That is a great idea to manage the reinstall issue. I do have a “fruit” phone. A second-hand android just for this system might be a good solution too.
Hey, i have some questions for the Slider incl. the PON Head: How long does the batteries last (each of them) in long-shots? Can you connect all those parts directly to a power socket instead of the batteries? I plan to use it for sliding and panning around 1-2 hours without a break...
@@marioranieri - It depends on the size of the battery. I use the large NP-F-970 batteries for time lapses that are 20 hours and still used less than half the battery. 2 hours even going back and forth on high speed is no problem at all. Yes, you can plug into the wall with the proper power converter.
@@boycefitzgerald great thank you for the infos 👍🏻
Hi. If I can ask, video shot with a cell phone, is there a standard/necessary file size that Blackbox requires for submitting video shot with a cell phone? thanks!
Thanks for watching. The standards are the same for any video shot on any device or camera. Shoot in the highest quality you can. Usually with a smartphone, that is 3840x2160 in .mov or .mp4 - The file size does not matter. Good luck selling stock.
Great motivation! I’m just starting out in the stock video game and your videos have been very helpful. Just wondering how much did you earn on your first year of stock video?
$1,040 the first year. Not sure how much that helps without context. I was a beginner. Zero experience (and still no training outside of RUclips tutorials). I uploaded all kinds of trash. Back then BB didn’t have an approval process. On the other hand, there was far less competition then. One of my videos goes back through my earning each year. I’m over $30k now and $900 average a month. The first year was 2018. I guarantee your content is better. I curated for a guy who has a small fraction of the clips I have and he averages $1,200 a month. You need quality and quantity. Focus on setting aside specific time each week - like a job. Just keep at it. It grows. I’m getting burned out and don’t feel like uploading now. It will pass but the point is, I still make $900 a month every when not trying anymore. I’ll get back on it in a few months. Changing job location and need to focus on that and family. I’ll be back eventually with more content. Meanwhile, I am an open book for questions.
Thanks for the openness about your earnings, just straight to the point! Just got my BB application approved yesterday and reading up on all this stuff. Been into photography for 24 years and video for about 6 years but never gave stock footage a go, at least not very dedicated. Thanks again for the video and nice to hear that stock footage is not dead because of AI :)
I am earning more every month. But it can feel discouraging when you get so many $2 sales. Still the big ones come in so the overall profits are fine. It’s not easy and I feel a little burned out. As I take a break for a few months, I’ve still be averaging $900. The first few years of regular uploads are still paying with $120 in sales just today(although that only happens a couple times a month). Best of luck. You have more experience than I. I recommend you put aside time each week and focus on content and not sales at first. The sales come down the road. So glad I could help with the strategy. You don’t need help with the content.
As my go-to regarding Blackbox I thought I'd ask you about this. Do you ever use batch processing for metadata? In the guide there is a section on CSV/XLS method. Are you familiar with this and if so is there a chance you could do a tutorial on it? I've read it several times and I'm pretty computer literate but still don't get it. Thanks.
Steve - this is a method by which you type the keywords in a spreadsheet and then you sync the spreadsheet to the clips and all the keywords are automatically added. I don’t like it because if there are any mistakes in the batch or clip names, you get errors. Then you find yourself searching for the missing “.” or some other minor typo. The advantage is that you have keywords that you can easily reuse and adjust for similar clips. To me, it is a big hassle and I don’t find any advantages worth the headache. If you want the advantages without the headache, keep a file of keywords that based on topic that you can refer to and adjust to the specific clips. I hope this is helpful.
@@boycefitzgerald Thanks for the quick reply. I guess we think alike. When reading about it and doing some further digging I came to the same conclusion as you. It seems not worth the bother. You've just confirmed my thoughts. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your April 2024 earning video😊
Appreciate your kind support.
You only uploading your content at black box only or you upload on other agencies as well? For example adobe stock or shutter stock?
I just upload video to Blackbox. Then Blackbox sends it to Adobe, Shutterstock, Pond5, and 4-5 other agencies. That’s one of the main benefits of Blackbox. You upload and keyword once and they send 5-7 agencies. They add new agencies now and then. Blackbox doesn’t do stock photography so for that I have my own accounts.
@@boycefitzgerald Thank you!
@@arslanbashir7513 - good luck.
Beautiful clips byw
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.
Hello Boyce, thanks a lot for sharing this, and congratulations. I just made 4 $ today 🤣 - better than nothing.
Every sale increases the ranking or visibility of that clip plus every penny counts and builds up. Best of luck in more sales in the future.
@@boycefitzgerald Thanks a lot :)
1524$ in my March sales! Also record high
That is excellent! I also know that you have high-quality clips.
I am actually a bit disappointed thus far with my 2024 sales. The last few months of 2023 were my highest, but since the new year started, I've only made half of that amount. I keep uploading 70 clips per week, but it doesn't seem to make an impact.
It will even out and your hard work will pay off. Your overall sales will go up I am sure.
Fantastic update and really encouraging results there. Well done! I started uploading in February 2019 but only got to uploading much more in November 2021 when I moved back to Sydney from a country town. Have over 2000 vids each on three of my four ports. Started hitting over $1k a month in June 2023 and (with exception of Dec 23 and Jan 24) have hit over $1k per month every month since. Best month to date was $2066 in September 2023.
That is fantastic! You must have high quality clips. Keep it up and best of luck.
Thank you for this video, it's great to see this kind of report! It's the third year I'm on BB, didn't spent enough time on it...at the moment the average income is 30 dollars per month with 800 random clips, now I started uploading content that I do exclusively for stock!
$30 is not bad at all for 800 clips. I’m sure it will grow as you build your portfolio.
Good for you! I saw a nice boost in sales revenue during March as well hope it keeps up 👍
April has been slow for me but sometimes a few good sales roll in at the end of the month.
1960$ march, 70 % timelapses clips :)
You have excellent content!
Timelapse Goat <3
Thanks for sharing. It's good to know how others are doing. I have 2088 clips uploaded and average a little $400/month. Last month was $616. The month before was just over $400. For this month, I sold a shot of a sandwich (which I shot on a whim before wife took a bite out of it) for $207. You just never know what will sell but I do recommend doing some research for underserved markets.
That’s a great example of a good portfolio and a good sale. I am often surprised at what sells and what does not. Thanks for responding. I think it does help people get a feel for it.
This is an interesting update. Hope you continue to do well!
Thank you for your kind support, Ed.
I received a note from Backbox founder and CEO Pat McGowan. He told me datasets are earnings from when companies use your video footage for non-media uses like self-driving vehicles, medical diagnostics and other computer learning. Sorry for the misinformation. The use case that I gave may be the case in the future.
Happy to see your progress. Without a doubt, you are a reference for those of us who are just starting.
If I can do it, anyone can do it. The only way to fail is to stop trying.
01:57 you said a thousand dollars a month is not difficult to obtain. How does it work? About how many videos do you need for this goal?
It takes time and a lot depends on the quality of your clips and the demand for the type of content you upload. The number of clips is the least important indicator. For example, if you shoot medical or science content, that is going to generate different sales than if you shoot cooking content. Every person’s portfolio looks different and has a different trajectory. One person I work with has just over 2,000 clips online and he makes well over $1,300 a month. I have 6,000 clips (nature, senior lifestyle, travel) and this is my first month at that level of income after 6 years of uploading. It takes time and work and then it depends on what you upload.
My video that summarizes earnings for all of 2023 might be more help in showing you how your income builds over time.
Hey, thanks for the update! How many clips does your portfolio hold at the moment?
In six years, just over 6,000 clips. I have a few friends who earn more with far fewer clips. It depends on what you have access to - what you shoot - the quality, the demand, etc.The number of clips is the least important indicator of what you will earn.
Epic!
Thanks so much. Appreciate you watching and commenting. It helps motivate me.
Wow, amazing! How do you set up the timelapse settings for such results?
Camera in manual mode focused camera o infinity. 15 second shutter by the time it was dark but during the sunset I slowly increased the duration of the shutter. ISO was 3200. The panning motion, in this case, I added in post using simple reframe key points. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Great information! Nice video.
Thank you for your kind support.
Awesome info. Because of your channel I am now starting to put a reel together for blackbox. Hopefully it will be accepted. With any luck, I will make more passive income there than RUclips! Again...thanks.
I’d be happy to review your reel before you submit it. I’ve done this for a few others but I’m not sure how much it helped.
@@boycefitzgerald I'd love for you too. Just working on it now 😁 going through clips. Hope to have it done this week.
Does stock video accept vertical videos as well?
@@onlocationwithscott - yes. They have for about 2 years but there was no sales at first. Now we are starting to see sales regularly. There is a specific way that you have to upload them: rotated 90 degrees in a 16:9 ratio.
@@boycefitzgerald Yes I just say that on a video. I will not be loading them on my reel though, thanks for confirming that. JUst about done the reel.
great, clear and insightful wisdom from a stock video maker, thanks. I'm getting started and feeling the obsession already, but also having fun!
Sounds like a recipe for success!
Thanks a lot for this video! Just one suggestion though, when recording screen captures it would help if you can do it in 4K so the text and stuff would be easier to read and not be so blurry. Thanks again, the information is very useful
So sorry. It is poor quality. I’ll see how I can upgrade screen capture.
@@boycefitzgerald all good! I understood everything regardless
Nice video. I like the logic and simplicity of your file organization. Also I agree about the over thinking comment. And thanks for the mention.
Any system that makes sense to you will work. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
What is the percentage of editorial clips you sell per month?
This month, 18%. But it also matters what you shoot. I was in Sudan during a coup. I was in Iraq when ISIL was attacking - those clips were hot for a while. Editorial can also be just the name of a bank or something but if it is in the news…. Ivan Canabrava shoots 80% editorial and 80% of his sales are editorial. The answer to your question is not going to help you create clips that sell. Shoot interesting clips and they will sell regardless of if they are editorial or commercial. Commercial clips do have a higher overall value because they can be licensed for anything. Best of luck.
thanks@@boycefitzgerald
Hey Sir, do you use the slider on a tripod before? Does it sink especially when the camera move towards the end of the slider?
It comes standard with supports for both sides of the slider that connect to the tripod legs - or you can easily use two tripods. I have never had it sink or sag at all. I always use a tripod that can support the weight, of course.
This is off topic but do you have a tutorial on your workflow, especially how you organize your files? Thanks.
I think I have talked about it here or there but no t made a video focused on that. I can do one when I get a chance. It’s a good idea.
OK thanks
Interesting about 360. I was wondering if it's worth uploading, I definitely will
Best of luck with your sales.
hi sir what trigger cable do i need i have a nikon z9 and i dont understand why you dont need the trigger from zeapon? it al is so complicated i think you trigger the slider with a huttercable for day to night timelapses?
I don’t have a Nikon but I believe they work with a 10-pin cable. So, you would need a 1 x 2.5mm Male input on one side of the cable with a Nikon 10-Pin on the other. In the US, these are available for under $10 on Amazon or at B&H.
I don’t use the trigger. I have it but have found it better to not use it. If I go day to night, I set the slider waypoints for the duration of the time lapse. Then I set the camera settings with an intervalometer. The motion is so slow that even if I have a 15 second shutter, there is no motion blur. The slider is moving 70 centimeters in 2-3 hours. It works. You can see my find my Milky Way time lapses and see that they work. Just try it. You will see. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@boycefitzgerald hi thank you for your quick reply i gues its daytime in your country here it is night time (the netherlands) so you dont do move shoot move you just let the slider roll. wow ) i ques you do the timelapas ramping by hand and no inside camera job ( thhe nijon z62 can do that perfect) i realy like to buy this thing but it is so complicated and there is not so much to find what i understand. im going to loog at your timelapses afcours ))
@@voederbietels - I was in the Netherlands just a few days ago. Relaxed there on my way back from Abu Dhabi. Regarding how I do time lapses with this slider, I learned the workflow here: ruclips.net/video/R3cCvWfpbJ8/видео.htmlsi=0Noe-Jgo-773FSpH

Hi , I'm having a hard time locating the referral link /Affiliate link option via BLACK BOX . are you able to assist ?
Can I use this slider with a gymbal (RS3 Mini)? Don't I need to buy Pan&Tilt part of Zeapon, right?
I have used it with a small gimbal, the OSMO pocket 3. I set the slider and then I have the gimbal do follow mode - like on a person. It works okay, but I like the pons system better. I don’t think my experience can fully answer your question using the RS3. If you had to program waypoints on 2 different apps, that would be too complicated for my workflow.
@@boycefitzgerald thank you, sir!
@@tonngook thanks for watching. Let me know if there is something else you would like to see in a video.
@@boycefitzgerald With all the problems in your video clip, should I buy it and accept the above problems in 2024? I'm looking for an electric slider to replace my manual slider.
@@tonngook - the problems I have had are manageable and all related to the app which has not caused me problems for some time. I don’t know if others with this slider have had issues. I’m not sure how best to advise you.
Thank you very much for the insight
I’m so glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for the video and motivation. Do you know if we can see our profile on blackbox? I am base in Asia but my shots are nothing compare to you
You are probably much better than you think. I am also critical of my shots and even have anxiety about showing them in these videos. Sorry, I can only see my own clips on Blackbox. Just keep adding it and your skills and sales will grow. I promise that the only way to fail is if you stop trying. Best of luck.
Hello, is it possible to make 3 points keyframes, and then something like ease them? For example, A - ease out B - continuous bezier C - ease in, i am asking because i saw videos where it just stops in point B instead of making it smoothly to point C without stopping.
This is something Zeapon has said they would do but for now at least the waypoints do ease in and out but you cannot control it and if you have more than two waypoints, it does stop at each one before moving to the next. I mostly do time lapses so it makes not difference to me. But for video, it would be great to have that control option.
@@boycefitzgerald Thank you! :)
Found you via your Zeapon review.. I haven't thought about the Stock Footage sales. I have a second shooter rig. That not only a lot longer than the Zeapon and I could mount it to a cart to make it more portable and get some Timelapse of beach footage.. Very inspirational to think I could be making some extra coin with the gear I already own.. Thank you.
It’s not fast or easy, but if your stick with it, you will have extra income every month. Good luck to you and thank you for watching and subscribing.
@@boycefitzgerald yea these rigs are not fast and neither is Timelapse. I have done dozens of fence builds and other Timelapse, including putting myself multiple times in a video plus interview shots. It’s a great tool.
@@SuperMouseDV - you have the right attitude to be successful and I commend you.
And how often do you have these issues where it doesn’t connect? Is it frequent?
I had a few weeks where I had difficulties. But had to delete the app and reload it between every use. Once I had to update the firmware even though it was up-to-date. Before and since then, I have had no problems.
Do you need anything specific to do a firmware update? Is it plug and play or do you need to load it on SD cards and such?
Firmware update is from the app on your smartphone or device.
