| 3/12/18 | Don't upload to Pexels and Unsplash | In the last few years, agencies like Pexels and Unsplash started giving away stock images to webmasters and advertisers. For a photographer who wants to make money with microstock, it is not the best choice to upload on those websites, even if sometimes they can generate leads for their business.Working for free means first not being free, because if you do not get paid, it means that you cannot do what you love for the time you want. Secondly, it destroys the professionalism of those who ask for money when they work.In this episode of the podcast, Daniele Carrer also answers these questions from the community of microstockguru.com:- What is the Pond5 release?- Can I send photos made with an analog camera?- Is Adobe After Effects really necessary to create time-lapses?- If my videos are good, could I upload them without editing?- Can I upload content to multiple agencies?- If you publish an image portraying a VIP person, and you select the editorial license, can these images be protected by extra copyrights?- Why Shutterstock sells 4k stock footage at such a high price?- Can I export in .mov with Pinnacle?You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/dont-upload-pexels-unsplash/ | 19m 16s | ||||||
| 3/5/18 | When producing microstock was like tourism | In the early years of microstock producers could make money even by creating content like tourists with a camera, but today the competition is too strong, and to make money you have to be professional.In 2008 I shot a few clips in Valencia, and I paid for the holiday with the sales of them on Istockphoto, which at that time was the most important agency for selling stock footage.In this episode I tell the whole story about what happened and I also answer the questions I've received about making money selling photos and videos online.You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/when-producing-microstock-was-like-tourism/ | 16m 19s | ||||||
| 2/26/18 | Small towns Microstock | Creating microstock of small towns can still be profitable, even though the competition is growing, but you have to hurry up and work as a professional photographer.In this episode I give some advice on what to do to monetize the content you upload on Pond5, Shutterstock, and Storyblocks. The best one is:- producing stock footage instead of stock imagesThe others are:- use a solar tracker to shoot subjects always with the sun on your back- try to shoot more small towns in a single day to reduce your travel expenses- use websites like keyword.io to understand what the most profitable subjects areYou can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/small-towns-microstock/ | 24m 05s | ||||||
| 2/19/18 | The tripod that can change your life | To understand what a microstock producer has to do to create a great collection, he first needs to ask himself these questions:Why am I creating stock images and stock footage?Am I trying to find a way to pay for my trips?Am I trying to enjoy myself, because I do not want to make money?Do I just like to know that there are some websites and TV series that pay for what I've created?The right answer to these questions is the starting point of every great producer’s career.For example: with stock footage, you can make ten times more money than with stock images, but you need a tripod to produce. Is it worth going around cities with a tripod to earn more money? It depends on what each producer wants from his job.You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:http://www.microstockguru.com/the-tripod-that-can-change-your-life | 16m 17s | ||||||
| 2/12/18 | From Fotolia to Adobe Stock | Adobe bought Fotolia for $800 million a few years ago. The reason why a multinational Company spends such money for acquiring a Brand and a website (not the photos and videos it sells!!) is just one:- microstock is the future of business for those who create images and footage.In this episode, Daniele Carrer also talks about agencies tax at source, how to make more money producing the content that buyers want, and he commented on the sales report of a new producer that joined his course.You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/from-fotolia-to-adobe-stock/ | 19m 16s | ||||||
| 2/5/18 | From amateur to professional mindset | In microstock industry, quantity can generate profit more than quality and videos can generate profit more than photos. Stock images and stock footage industry started decades ago, but it boosted thanks to the internet, which has allowed: immediate delivery, easy search procedures, cheap prices. Thanks to this, buyers and producers changed. Today, photographers and videographers with 1500 Euros equipment can beat Companies.To make money with microstock it doesn't matter how old you are, what you need to do is to reset and start learning new rules, because selling photos and videos online is not producing art is just a business.You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/from-amateur-to-professional-mindset/ | 17m 27s | ||||||
| 1/29/18 | Full Frame vs Aps-c cameras | Being a producer of microstock is not like being another kind of photographer or video maker, so sometimes you don't have to choose the most expensive equipment to make more money. Full frame sensor cameras have better quality, especially while shooting stock footage in low lights, but Aps-c sensor cameras are smaller, and sometimes they are the best choice for a microstock producer who focuses on outdoor subjects.You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/full-frame-vs-aps-c-cameras/ | 13m 52s | ||||||
| 1/22/18 | DSLR or smartphone? | New guidelines of microstock agencies make the sale of content created with smartphones possible. Is it for a producer of stock images and stock footage the best device to use to make money?DSLRs in low light situations have still a better quality, but they are also heavier to carry outdoor, so is the Iphone ready to change the world of professional photography?Probably not yet, but Daniele Carrer will tell you exactly why in the second episode of “Sell your photos and videos online.”You can find the text of the podcast, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/dslr-or-smartphone/ | 11m 39s | ||||||
| 1/15/18 | What is microstock photography? | Microstock photography is a business for amateur and professional photographers to make money selling their photos and videos online on websites like shutterstock.com, pond5.com, storyblocks.com that sell stock images and stock footage.The most important thing for a producer to earn a good profit is not to create the perfect content but to understand what buyers want.You can find the text of the episode, along with all the links mentioned at:https://www.microstockguru.com/what-is-microstock-photography/ | 10m 35s | ||||||
