How Much Money I Made Selling Stock Footage In 2022 (& How You Can Do It Too!)

Thanks for this insight ! for the time you spent on it, really really not worth it from my perspective. I really dont see that as passive, since you put huge labor into it. and if you let it be without adding more, will it still remain around 5K/year for the next 20 years ? not sure about it. if so, then maybe that's great after all. i tried to uplad a few dozen clips 3 years ago, and made 200USD in 3 years. feels like i lost so much time doing it. i make that money in one hour shooting videos, being with people and everything, so....

Is there one site that can distribute stuff? Or do you have to have multiple sites with multiple fees?

Thank you so much for your HONEST taco review!

great!! thanks!! what about the big ones as getty?

yes please Matt, do more videos on that subject ! it is really interesting.

Would you recommend grading/coloring your clips prior to selling them or do more people download the ungraded clips?

thank you for this video. subbed. btw would you recommend shooting in 4K or 1080p is enough for stock footage? I usually shoot in 1080p and most of my past video clips are in 1080p

Excellent Matt - huge interest and am now off to see what can be done with a combination of aerial drone, land based and subsea drone(ROV) footage in the guise of SkyWaterDrone!

nice

prices have dropped a lot. Previously, on Pond5 a video could sell for 30$, now for 2-5$.
Yes, extended licenses cost more, but this is rare to sell them .
It's a lot of work, in fact, don't think it's easy

Do stockfootage sites care about dpi? Should i try to export all my stockfootage pictures in 240 dpi or is it enough with 96 dpi?

Thanks Matt, I have tons of stock videos and I don't know what would I do to them until now. Thanks for the encouragement.

Awesome video Matt. Honesty is the best policy. Very much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing!

This is definitely helpful! Do you think some of these sites might have restrictions if you are in a different country? You know, due to tax issues or the payouts in general

Definitely interested in knowing more about stock footage.

and what about abstract videos earning

what about deposit photo?

Make more please!

Very good video. My question is should I use the blackbox to send the videos or is it better to send them separately to each site, what do you think is better?

Great job 👏🏼

Thanks so much for this Matt. Really helpful.

great video Matt, thank you for all the details!!

Thank you Matt

❤❤ ❤

I want to see more about this! Thank you Matt, great content as always!

Hi mat! question... Once the video is uploaded, how important is the description for the video? will it change If the video sells more or not?

what about blackbox? what's you opinion?

how many clips did you have uploaded in Artgrid at the end of 2022?

Yes please Matt, another one on this subject. I am about to start gathering clips together and will make a point over shooting extra clips on future jobs - would be great to hear more. Very helpful.

Where the hell you get a $1 taco? haha

Great Video!

What camera do you use for this stock footage

5000$ i live in south america in underdeveloped country with that kind of taco money i would be millionary! jajaja

Hi Matt, I watched your video last night and found it very informative! Thanks for making this one. Can you, or do you have any videos about how to copyright photos and your videos and adding watermarks. Are your pics and vids protected from people downloading them from Pond5 etc without paying?

Bro, apart from the amazing tips: your voice is soothing as heck! Thank you very much for this honest process! Greetings from Mexico.

Awesome, very interesting topic specially for a passionate people in filming and earn extra revenue.

Best regards @matt.

can you plz tell me this problem stock footage( Noise / Artifacts: Content contains noise, film grain, compression artifacts, pixelation, and/or posterization that detracts from the main subject.)

Great video! What kinda stock footage sells well and/or is most downloaded? Like city landscapes, timelapses etc.?

I'm glad I watched this, it will give me something to do as I have just retired.

Agree this is designed and set up for passive income. Set it and forget it. Thanks!

Thank You for this great informative. I never had any idea re selling video stock footage but your video has helped a lot. Thank you again.

Dum question, I 'am guessing you upload them with a Basic color correction or Some quick light color Post work? or just make a setting on camera so do less work on post?

Love it

Can you upload footage to stock sites that you used in a wedding video already? Or can you upload footage to stock sites that you've posted on social already?

Same here, I earn $13,000 a week. GOD bless Valerie Ann Pate, she has been a blessing to my family.
