The month of January 2019 is not even over and it's by far the best month ever for me on Shutterstock. Today I sold 3 pics for a whopping $1.08 and a video for a whopping $180US. The video in question is of a male wood duck shot in 1080p/60fps. You can view the clip here. This sure makes up for the two lousy video clips I sold for $1.50 each.
Sales like this keep me motivated to stick with photography and using my camcorder to film our natural world that we live in. A few years back I sold a video where I profited $120US and I thought that was amazing. I've sold a few footage clips on sites like Pond5 and Videoblocks but they are very inconsistent. I can sell 2-3 clips on the same day and then go months without selling anything. But with Shutterstock, it's far more consistent.
I've linked my portfolios so if you're interested, you can purchase some of my photography or footage. If you're not a client yet, here's a link to become a Shutterstock customer. This is a great way for you to help out a small time photographer.
