Have you built a money tree???? Whats your favourite money tree?
I'm just setting one up with the same steps as you did! Hope that will work for me as well :D
Love this video, would have been interested to see a break-down of your most profitable or most purchased stock videos? I believe I watched one a while back, that Mango Street did, all about their most successful stock photography uploads. And I've been thinking about starting some stock accounts, but most of my time is spent shooting and editing for my employer (a local art college) and I can't use any of that footage... so I'd have to shoot fresh footage most likely... would be cool to know what types of video have worked well for you.
I also do stock footage on Blackbox. Around 2000 clips so far ... made around $10,000 over the last 2 years. Not something to live on ... but it certainly helps. Especially when I am not actually doing anything and it is passive income.
Affiliate marketing!
My only tree so far is a crypto investment paying about $1500 or so a month, which is pretty decent. I have a question for you though:
How much content have you uploaded in terms of stock footage to earn this money?
I’m confident the current market has an equal possibility of making high-value gains or losses, so I'm cautious with my selections; but, I heard that a trader made over $250k in this recession influenced market, and I could really need ideas on how to achieve similar profits
You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner.
@@emilybrown2719 Bluebird Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
@@FeliciaJudge that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors, my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you?
@@HelenaBonham-pz4ly The advisor I use is Susan Agnes Hancock, she's verifiable , so you could just search her.
@@FeliciaJudge I curiously looked Susan Agnes Hancock online and researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient, I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals
I would love to see you do a video going more in depth on stock footage. Hearing how much you made was nice but I would love to hear how many clips you uploaded, see some more examples of those clips, and any other tips you have on the subject. Did you upload to one location or do you upload clips to multiple stock sites? Does it cost money to create an account and upload? These are just some of the questions that came to mind watching this. Best of luck with 2022 Matti.
Yes that would be dope. I have so much stock footage sitting around and will for sure do this.
Those things are very easy for you to just look up yourself.
Me too!!?
@@whengrapespop5728 That is true but it is always beneficial to hear from somebody who has experience. I’m not making any demands just throwing out suggestions for content. As a creator on a different platform I know I like to hear from my viewers what they are interested in to give me ideas for future videos.
That would be awesome
Mate, stop saying you did nothing ffs, I have followed you since before 100K subs and watched you grow your channel and clout, you are a great photographer/filmmaker and built a name for yourself, that is why you are successful, If you say it once it can be taken as light hearted fun poking, but harping on about "doing nothing" over and over is a real slap in the face to us aspiring to do the same thing and frankly, douchebaggery. Other than that Love ya work
exactly, DOING NOTHING you'll get nothing. There is a lot of work in post with the right keywords, research etc the beautiful thing is that you do the work only the first time and if the content is researched from buyers, You will earn forever! (I'm a stock contributor too)
WORD
Really helpful Matti … I have just turned 39 and I am leaving a stable job to go out there and chase my dream. I have been using stock from Artgrid for a few years but never considered creating it. Love your videos 👍🏻🎬Scott, Dorset UK
We have heaps of stock footage from building our YT channel with so many sequences... this will be something we will be doing. Thanks Matti!
This is exactly the video I wanted you to make!
I've been submitting to Stock Video for a few months now. It takes time to learn proper keywording; and what type of footage actually sells. There is a pretty big time investment up front. I'll let you know in another year if it was worth it! 😉
Exactly... So when he says "it took no time at all, 0% investment, etc".. thats way beyond the truth. Time to shoot, time to organize, time to edit, time to upload, time to SEO
@@Navigator_Nick he said no time at all "last year", he makes this quite clear
Did you get any sales
Have you got sales yet?
any updates?
Finally, video! 🍓
This guy is such a dork .. lol. They should turn him into a cartoon.
WOW! That's insane. I wanna do this too!!
This got my mind going... something to definitely look into! Thank you for sharing Matti!
Thanks for sharing Matti! I have made a point to add most b roll I shoot to Blackbox this year during down time. I have only made about $300 in the past 2 years combined. I have uploaded about 200 clips and most of them that get declined are lack of release or recognizable brand logos/names in a shot. I shoot a lot of fitness content so lots of workout scenes.
Cool! Thanks for sharing it ✌️
I love this! That's amazing, I've wanted to get into making stock footage but I'd live to some of your tips you might offer!
You convinced me! I will put my footage on a artgrid!
thanks for sharing had no idea, another awesome vid!
🤯 insane! Well done Matti 🎉👏🏻
Yea it feels a bit like a cheat code 😂
Great video Matti, thank you.
I think you just started something in me to think out of the box. Thank you for this tip
You are a legend, thank you for all of your tips and tricks and life lessons. I seriously learn so much from your experiences! Thank you for being so vulnerable and relatable.
Love this video
Thanks for the tip, ill look into it... my Drone & footage probably won't be extra enough to make any money, but hey, doesn't hurt to try right 😁
Uploading some clips to the BBC as we speak now. Great video!
AMAZING!
Can confirm its worth uploading to stock sites! Massive sales Matti! Great Job!
Thanks dude 🙏🏻
Totally Agree!
I've been creating content on "Web/Software Development" and experimenting on different platforms.
And it's doing good.
Yet need to optimize and maximize it.
Are you doing stock footage on the "Web development" niche?
@@CarlosMaflaNo,
Only "How-To" Videos.
Artgrid has been my favorite for quite a while. A lot of my music videos have mostly Artgrid footage. I'm glad to hear you're going to have footage there. Film Supply is way too expensive and only a "single clip" site. Not sure how they'll stay in business with $200 clips for web use that aren't even 10 seconds long.
Matti, you should do a video on what you use for file storage. I know it's not a sexy subject but we all have to navigate that kind of stuff and invest a lot of money into it. I'd love to get your insight.
Thank you 👊🏼🎥🙏🏼
Always great content, thank for continuing the vids! I still remember that awkward/stiff guy doing vids in a bedroom....he has been gone a long time. ;-) Might be time to sharpen that knife though!
Small steps, long-term minded! 💪
TH-cam back catalogue would be one of my money trees - Been here since 2007 and some of the older videos are still making money every month.
Well working on my TH-cam channel but it is certainly not a money tree ! Awesome content Matti ! 👍😍
Great video Matti, just how many clips uploaded,?
Thanks a lot for the helpful info👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Matti Haapoja the Great
You are one of the best
Nice and to much useful
I tried it and nothing really sold. And my clips arent that bad. Its difficult to even get shown when someone searches for something because the market is saturated. Of course the algorithm shows the clips which were purchase hundreds times before
Shame... that will promote creators who are already big and don't need any more promotion while making it extremely hard for newcomers to break into it. It's a loop system that will benefit those who arrived early.
@@soundscape26 it's just a business.. better sell something that has a track record if you want a predictable stream of income so they choose to promote big starts.. it would need to be a new platform, otherwise the train has gone..
This will be my 2023 project.
Passive income is the best type of income. I love getting emails about sold footage that I had shot like a couple of years ago
To me, creating and selling stock footage is a great way to learn as your earn and it funds my craving for new gear.
How many Clips do you have online tho? 1637 is what was shown in the video, is that the total number? I'm selling stock footage with Blackbox and the price per clip isn't consistent at all! Sometimes a clips sells for 50$ and then for just like 2.50$. I guess it's depending on the website they sell it on right?🤔
Thank you for sharing this. How much stock footage do you have? How many clips, hours, different categories do you supply? Did you deliberately went out to shoot stock footage or was it more generated "as you go" while doing film projects?
Thank you for sharing this information..I like the idea to have a money tree. I have to grow one from today😀
Great video Matt!
HOWEVER @5:10 I have issue with your statement of "I made ton of money with zero time" you still had to take the time to shoot the footage.
Also I would be curious on what type of footage you earned with, was it drone? Handheld? Travel footage?What formats did you offer it in? Would love a more in depth video
Actually, sounds like he really did nothing in 2021. The footage was shot before 2021 per the way he presented it and didn’t add any new footage.
Hey Matti! Are there certain video formats that sell better, like RAW, 4K, MOV, MP4, etc. Thanks!
Matti, do you color grade the stock footage before you submit it? Or do you sell log footage? I am interested in submitting some footage this year because I have 8TB of travel footage from the last few years.
Depends on the platform!
Does the site specify if you should colour grade or not?
@@mattih Ok thank you! :)
Boyce Fitzgerald ah good to know. Thank you!
I need to get my stock footage up online for sale. I’ve got an entire library!
Do it!🙌🏽💯
Never expected to see you commenting on one of these videos lol. I can only imagine how much footage you’ve gotten over the years that you can make money off of.
@@BenjyBraude bro I’ve been following Peter McKinnon since about 30,000 subscribers. Been following Matti since about 25,000 subscribers. These dudes are awesome! With all of the drumline footage and drone footage that I’ve shot over the years, I probably have enough for all sorts of applications. Gotta get uploading! Ha
Hello Matti... do you think we can post the same video footage on more than one stick footage outlet? or should I stick in only one?
Thats great....but how much stock footage/pics have you uploaded to achieve this amount of money??
Been wanting to do Film Supply and been holding back but… maybe i should go for it. Thank you.
100% 😊 worth it
A few really important questions: How many clips did you upload? Was it only through one site? Or did you do it through multiple sites? Would you recommend uploading to multiple sites? Or are their licensing terms on certain stock sites that prevent you from doing that?
Which kind of stock footage did you shoot? Don't you really have to "create" for selling it on stockfootage sites? With that I mean, film the same thing from different angles, make different scenes with the same people (so that anyone could build up his own story with this people) and so on? And isn't that very time-consuming as well? I almost have no footage that I created for my own, that would satisfy these conditions. Thank you for your answer!
Where do you upload stock footage? One site or multiple sites?
wondering the same
man it is funny that you actually got this letter so late , but I sent it before you actually stated he hiring process
in the next video or down here could you please tell us how many clips you actually have up on the sites - because I am guessing that you have a lot more footage than a normal hobbies would have when collecting their footage and uploading it to their account to make money
That's a 1/4 of my yearly salary. whew. That would be life changing.
Yea man it’s wild
@@mattih Do you have a site that works best for you? Or one you would suggest starting on?
Thank you for this! I’ve been meaning to upload my footage to a stock site for months. And to think… those months I didn’t equal money I could have earned but didn’t. Thank you for the kick in the 🍑 bro!
Don’t waste it 🙌🏻
Will:) show the world what you got
@@justinxcinema definitely doing it bro! 🤘 Thank you!
@@will-beck don't set yourself up for a disappointment bro. You can have 10 TB of footage uploaded and still not make a dime or pennies. It's a lot easier said than done
@@Darkest_Soul_187 oh for sure. My thoughts are: I already edited all the clips for my TH-cam videos and they’re just sitting there on my SSD. If they have the potential to buy me a tank of gas or better, that’s a win.
Wow this is insane
hahaha that iPhone 4s looks like most of the phones that arrive at my workplace :P but not in such a nice package or nearly as clean LOL
I'm learning Blender and Houdini to become a CGI/VFX generalist. Already planning/constructing my money tree with selling assets on various websites.
hey, what's the best platform to start with stock footage as a creator?
Hey Matti, how many clips have you uploaded in total for all your stock?
Hey Matti, I have tons of pictures sitting on my drive that I believe it could be used for stock footage, so you think pictures are also good for a money tree or companies are more interested in videos?
so great, thank you for sharing the thoughts which equals millions of gold 感谢分享金点子。
I thought about it but I need to learn how to take good pictures 😂
Hahah yea that first
You used that thumbnail from the 10 life lessons video after all! Aha looks good! 👌
Haha yep! Fit this one 😊
Awsome! how many videos do you have on the platform?
This is insane, I will do it , but first let me learn it
Hey Matti, Love your work.
Do you know how many downloads you had to equal this end sum ?
Love to know the price per $ download i.e is it 50cents or so ?
Let me know!
well.. I guess I'm mining my hard drives today!
I haven't built one yet , soon to come in a few months and matti when are you opening the academy ?
Later this year!!! Hopefully more news soon 😊
@@mattih looking forward to seeing the academy open!
Matti: How many stock footage units do you have uploaded on that account, that is earning ~10k /month? Just wondering of the proportion of content versus income? Even though I know that quality is a factor too. Thanks if you reply.
technically you did a whole lot when you created those footage. Not to mention the investments in time and equipment. On the long-run yeah it will be worthwhile.
I've been doing stock footage for around 3 years now, nowhere near your numbers yet but I do agree it's nice seeing a fresh paycheck in your bank account every month without having to do anything
what do your numbers look like if you dont mind?
How much do you earn per month
What's the name of the lower thirds you used when going through the months? Or did you create that yourself and is it for sale? :D
Today I just sold my first stock image! And after that Matti posted this video. Hehehehe
Next is video footage
Hey! Ilike the editing and the videography craft you did here. could you please make a video or put a link related to this?
Matti what are those hard drives for storing your photos and videos, on the table? at 0:34
I need to start working on this
where do u usually sell your footage?
First✌🏼✌🏼
Te sigues filmando con el Sony 10-18 f4? Porque se ve bien.
Your monthly income from video footage you mentioned was from new video you created every month or just your old ones? Thank you
Any good website recommendations where we can upload the stock footages?
wondering the same
praying for the day Peter teaches Matti to use a knife properly lol
Been thinking about this a lot but unsure where to start… What’s the best site that you can upload stock videos to? Any recommendations on which ones to use/not use?
Uploading a library from 1tb hard drive cam take a full work day or more to tag it, name it, upload it, cut it, hate it and repeat:)
But it's better than working hard as delivery guy:)
$318 here so far in mid-October 2022 from Shutterstock on a portfolio of 483 clips!
Was this for just 1 video? Or is it for several videos and those numbers are for the account?
Bro, Are you okey? You seem so rushed, and this video seems to only be bragging about your lifestyle rather than giving valuable information. Slow down a little! Breathe!
Under a minute 🥰
I’m inspired. Want to learn more .
Just made my first $5 from affiliate links the other day and I must say it feels good
How many clips do you have on Filmsupply?
Wow! Thank you for sharing your insights, do you think it's still worth it to start in 2022?
yes!!! i made a few back in 2018 and stopped after uploading 20. 2 years later i sold one clip for 67usd and i wish i kept uploaded. since then i've been uploading more and more clips and it's been a nice seeing clips sell both new and old
@@ryandobal understood! Thank you!
How many videos of yours are out there though?
I’m exclusive with Getty photo and video. Great full time living.
what would be good sites for stock drone footage?
