This video is very helpful for me. I signed up them from your link☺ Thank you from Japan!

[wearethelandrovers]

Thanks for this. Not too many people on YouTube actually explain how to do something. This is exactly what I need.

Nice advice Charles, thanks. I'm trying to figure out a lot of the stock business side of things. But as I build a portfolio with my new R5, I'm going through 10 years of photos to decide what to upload....phew this is going to take a while haha. But I see the importance of being very organized

[kreatyvny]

Thank you for that video!

You are the best 💪💪

Charles, I would like to see a video about how you choose which photos to submit as royalty free.

Thank you so much for sharing your photography workflow, this was very helpfull information! I belive you mentioned that you submit videos to these stock sites also. Would you mind sharing your video workflow: the program you use for editing videos (perhaps even some tips on how you edit videos for stock), organizing your files, and then submitting them to the stock sites?
Thank you so much, once again for your great content!

good morning, again thank you for sharing your knowledge with us I have a question about the number of keywords we should attach to our image Adobe allows up to 49 words in your opinion what is the best number of keywords we should use? and the other question can you clarify for us when you say the same images, I know you can't upload the same subject with different angles, so will it be safe to say you can have the same category but with different images? thank you for all your help have a wonderful day

[GregKelton]

Interesting video. A lot of what I do is very similar, except, I use a computer, and a different program to upload. I upload 50-100 about every 3 days.

[Holly-pyqc]

Thank you for great info. I tried using ImStocker and very useful. But mine doesn’t show if the photos have been submitted or not. I only see the uploaded mark. Do you know the solution for this??

[carrilhanodias]

Hi. I dont have afraid that allow someone stole your photos? Because is a machine who post the images and not you? Thanks

[ChristineLGolden]

I'm brand new to stock photography and going through years of hobby photos right now. I have a fundamental misunderstanding about how you use folders labelled 100, 200, etc. Can you, or anyone on this feed, break it down further? Thank you.

[Ethangray-crnd]

I know nothing about trading /investment and l'm keen on getting started. What are some strategies to get started with?

You repeatedly say, "This video is not sponsored, " which makes me suspicious. Is it sponsored? To get ahead of this conversation, why so defensive? Cheers from California, $1, 000 gifted 🎁
