Why do you select editorial for your images to Shutterstock? 4:07 min. Why don't you release them for commercial use? Could you please explain? Thank you
Thanks! Those Images have property thats owned by someone else, the tractor trailer has a logo, the dump truck has one too, and even the color of the equipment can be trademark like its the case with john deer green, in the cave images, theres people and I didn't ask the crowd to sign a releases, now the Drone shot of the "Ward Charcoal Ovens" that could go both ways, it depends if someone has trademarked the National Landmark or not, so I did some editorials and some commercial just in case.
Great information as usual Thank you for sharing it with us any chance to make a video on how to use a GoPro since I saw you using it in one of your videos while you were rafting Thankyou again for all the knowledge take care and stay safe
HI, really like your content, thanks a lot for all those tricks! I have two questions, 1.) do you have a recommendation or critics on tools like dropstock that upload at multiple times, saving time on that tedious process of uploading on each platform separately? 2.) Do you keyword your photos in darktable or lightroom first or on the different platforms? I was wondering if that might be double work, to do that for each photo when editing it e.g. and then again in the different platforms. Thanks a lot 🙂
Yes and yes. Ive been using ImStocker studio lately and it saves a lot of time, I also keyword everything in lightroom and when I export the jpgs all of the keywords are built into the metadada, but now ImStocker Vision is a new way to use AI to help keyword and it works seamlessly with studio so it keywords and uploads to all agencies via ftp. bit time saver Im Stocker Studio: store.payproglobal.com/r?u=imstocker.com&a=12400
Only as editorial or illustrative editorial, its a little more restrictive but if you want to sell images commercially you need property or model releases for anyone or any recognizable brand
To be honest I cant find a number getty is the worst when displaying statistics but this past month was the only month of 2023 thatI didn't get a payout, I was short $17 😅
thank you and also thank me for waching this video , please tell me about most photos. i am a shutterstock contributor, is mostphotos pay via payooner? iam bangladeshi so paypal not allow in my country, and did i upload a batch of file without caption or discription ? i have 10000 images and i was looking for this kinnd of website for a long time
Hi thanks, I believe mostphotos cando bank transfers and paypal, im not sure. as far as descriptions and titles yes they are necessary. If you need help I can recommend AI tools to simplify this process.

Nine, I only do four and that is hard enough. Can't talk about Shutterstock, there is another stock agency that doesn't want you to talk about submitting images to them.
You did and I received a rather nasty email from them. Their contract if read closely actually states that you are not allowed to say that you submit images to them@@wollertz
I was wondering , if you had to copyright, these photos before submitting them to the agency . On Lightroom , as I saw a video on how to copy write them on Lightroom . Is that a necessary step ?
It’s not necessary, it’s easy to do with lightroom but it really doesn’t do much, if you pressed the shutter the photo is yours. The agencies will protect you to the best of their abilities
Great channel love watching it. Even started putting some stuff on a couple of sites over the last couple of weeks. Starting off small aiming for 20 photos a week to see what happens.
@@wollertzMy first step was getting some photos accepted running about 1 in 4 and knowing what is acceptable. The next step is getting the keywords correct. Just about to look back again at your previous videos on this. All the best to you.
Thank you, so much for every video you are making. I am really greatful, that i found your yt channel and your instagram and learn so much. Be blessed!
Thanks! I have not, and after this video I got a few email warnings from agencies, apparently it is in their very long and unreadable contract that contributors are not supposed to share this type of info on Social Media, so my days of talking and comparing agencies are over 🤷♂.

Some agencies allow you to upload the RAW or Tiff file with the JPG, but for the most part jpgs are preferred. most have a minimum resolution of 4mp and a max of 100mp with maximum file size of around 45MB
Great videos, but i was wondering if there was a particular reason why you don’t use FTP transfer to save tremendous amounts of time uploading to each stock website? Something like xpiks. Would love to know!
Thanks! I do that when I’m uploading hundreds of photos, when its a small number like this and for the video showing each agency it’s easy enough to do batches, but yes good point most want you to use ftp when uploading more than 100 images
@AlinyanArt For the longest time I used go-stock but I don't think it is available anymore, now I use filezilla pro. I use it for videos because I'm not doing large batches of photos as much any more!
@@AlinyanArt Xpiks is pretty great. Paid but worth it imo. Supports pretty much every medium to big stock sites you’d need to upload to, offers an easy UI to navigate
I do not upload to Istock I use ESP by getty, its a division of them where I don't have to be exclusive, thinks might have changed by now but years ago you had to be exclusive with Getty or iStock and i didn't want that @@olgaphoto.studio

Can you upload main brand photos like coke or Pepsi ?

123RF I have around 15-20 images which have been waiting for approval since March or so. 13:03
Make sure all of the info is there, in the past I’ve had images waiting and waiting and it was because I forgot to add a detail 🤷♂️

I hope I didn't mention the other agency it in this video 😅

Can I make money with GoPro in the microstock market?
Maybe with Timelapse, the photo and video from GoPro are just not good enough. Unless it is unique and newsworthy 🤷♂️
Getty is a pain in the rear.
Yes it is 😂 but I do sell a good amount
I uploaded 200 photos on eyeem no single dollars please guide

200 images is not enough, you will need thousands.

I thought the Adobe Illustrative Editorial was only allowed after you have a certain number of accepted images?
🤔 that might be correct I have to check, I’ve had an account since before it was Adobe stock so I’m not sure
Great video, tnx :)
Have you maybe done a video where you compare profit from those agencies and explain possibble resons in income difference?

Hi Charles,
Do stock agencies accept tiff file format? What is the minimum and maximum file sizes?
