Encouraging and honest video... I started with photos I already had and now I'm exploring and learning about concepts! And it's real fun! Thank you so much for sharing the experience! Oh, and Bambi was awesome with those tiny paws playing 😍
Great video, I recently started generating quality ai pictures that I’m uploading on Adobe stock, sold one already, although I’m starting to see myself as lazy lol, but I feel it’s all about building portfolio numbers right!??
I started in the second category of people who have many images on my computer that I didn't know how to manage. However, I now continue to take new photos and upload them frequently. I credit your advice to enjoy the learning experience and keep things fun, as it keeps me in the game. I am retired, and it is nice to make a supplemental income doing something I love.
Hi, can you share the process + software to manage, edit and upload photos. I have some photos on pc + mobile combined ( 60,000-70,000 images). My challenge is this only, as stated above. Hence asked the query.
I'm the beginner and have uploaded for three weeks on Shutterstock and Adobe Stock but none of my images have been sold. Is there anything I'm doing wrong maybe?
A very realistic view of Stock Photography. The only thing I would add, is add some AI images. For example, I made some AI images for Christmas, I couldn't afford to make, from scratch. Santa Claus placing presents under a tree, children opening the presents, etc... And they are selling already. So it's an additional option.
A few months ago I sold a photo from a Nutella pizza, which I shot with my smartphone. It was funny, but not usual. Who buys a picture of a Nutella pizza?
@@wollertz I will execute it from tomorrow. You are my source of inspiration. I watch all your videos within one minutes got published. Thank you. I am from India.
@ Thank you. I enjoy your channel! Not sure why I would give up using the iPhone though? Because of editing? I was gifted the iPhone for my birthday and use it as a new stringer for the local paper to take event photos .. also what do you use again to upload images and video to multiple sites? Thank you!
The quality of phone photos is just not there, some agencies will reject photos based on the camera they came from, if you can get them accepted by all means use it, my experience has taught me not to, but we all have different work flows, video is a little different than photos, phone video for the most part is ok for stock as long as it has good lighting. as far as the program I use it’s called ImStocker studio, I believe I might have a link in the video description
Nice video with the pool table as a prop. It’s hard to find time to spend enough time, but even uploading 10 photos a week, gives a little bit. I tried some AI uploads too, but with limited result. And I find it very boring. Real photos are much more enjoyable.
There’s a few options out there, I’m using imstocker studio, I made this video on how to use it: Stock Photography made easy, Uploading And Submitting Stock Photos With Imstocker Studio ruclips.net/video/EkaoI170lDQ/видео.html

That first strategy is simply balls
But I saw it on TikTok! 😂
I'm the beginner and have uploaded for three weeks on Shutterstock and Adobe Stock but none of my images have been sold. Is there anything I'm doing wrong maybe?
Nothing wrong, just keep uploading it can take up to 12 months before you start selling

Santa Claus placing presents under a tree, children opening the presents, etc... And they are selling already. So it's an additional option.
Great point! I haven't done any AI generated images ever, so this is not even on my radar, Thanks so much for bringing it up!
Thank you for the suggestion
product photo submit to shutterstock is it a lots of traffic ?
It depends on the product. But there’s always a need for new products and concepts
what is fair price for keywording?
I have no Idea, I know of services and Im Using ImStocker Vision now, but I never looked into paying anyone, I just know its an option 🤷♂️

You would be surprised, anything can sell!
Sir I am a struggling stock photographer. What should I do? How to improve?
Make more photos, 300 a week is a good goal

Are you saying that using an iPhone 16 Pro Max for stock footage is not going to work?
it will work, but you will give up and not make as much as you would have if you have used a camera of a similar price

put your chin on the cue and you'll start potting balls, great video again thanks
Thanks 👍
Ill practice 😁
One stock site, it has taken 2 years to reach $100 at around 27 cents per image
Hmm 🤔
How many photos do you have with them?
@@wollertz They are not my favourite company to deal with, so I only have 401 images with them. I upload more frequently to other sites.

Very true! I haven’t tried AI, I can see the use for situations I can’t handle, but I rather make real photos
8:32, which software to use to upload photos?? Please give suggestions. I have no idea about this.

Perfectly played (kind of 😅) and perfectly explained 🙏🏻
Thanks! I’m just going to stick to the camera thing 😂
Hi Charlie! Every day i got 10 to 15 downloads but last two weeks its stopped. I got only 3 downloads in a week. Did you face this issue in your experience. Any solution? Please give me any idea ❤
It happens seasonally, maybe the images are specific to a date or something, the only thing to do is continue to upload relevant content
