How I Made My First $10K Selling Stock Footage

I've been selling stock footage for nearly 3 years now and the my sales keep going up and up! It's not a simple process but it fills the slow seasons and I think it's worth the long term investment. Hope you enjoy this transparent perspective on stock footage!

I’m glad you are not one of those people telling everyone that it’s easy money. I average just under $600 a month on BB. I started as a complete beginner. I do believe that anyone can do it if they put in the work and stick to it. Best of luck to you.

I'm averaging around $3000 a year on my 1600-ish clips. So it can happen. I look at the market and see where there isn't a lot of stock footage and try to fill those gaps.

You got my like with "$700-$800 is enough for rusty to by whatever he wants"
Got an outloud chuckle from me

Great work! Your monthly take home from stock is absolutely my goal. Almost 8000 clips on BB from curating for others. Absolutely great information here, even for someone that has been doing it like crazy!

Thanks for describing the process/reality of stock footage... While you are filming on a project you are automatically generating stock - so worth a try! And suggestions as to stock footage agencies that you upload to/recommend??

Great video! loved the transparency. I feel like I have a bunch of footage that's just sitting on my hard drive that could be used as stock footage

[youloveme]

Great video Jacob, very helpful for my endeavors to start selling my stock footage which is just sitting on my external hard drives doing nothing. Cheers

Thinking about Staring my portfolio and your vedio just gave me the push I needed

Giving me hope my sales will go up if I keep pushing out the stock clips! Thanks for an informative vid Jacob

Really good stuff here. I've only got about 350 clips up so far and I've made a little bit, but in my opinion the biggest thing is whether or not you actually enjoy creating/uploading/tagging footage, especially early on. Because for a while you definitely won't make much if any money. So you have to actually enjoy it and truly believe that long term it does pay off.

Thanks for this man! Very helpful suggestions, and I like the style of your channel overall. Keep it up and I hope you keep growing!

[travelonfire]
