BE A STOCK CREATOR.
One day I noticed a way out. I realized I could use my own creativity to make passive income online. I learned how to sell videos, photos, and vector illustrations of old finished projects so they could be used by buyers all over the world.
This is not only a career for photography & videography professionals. But a path for everyone starting with iPhone Photography, Drone Photography, Travel Photography or even iPhone Filmmaking.
So, here are 3 reasons you should be selling Stock Footage & Stock Photography.
-
Earn while you learn. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional or beginner if you have a digital camera and know your way around it, it’s enough to get started. You can even get started with mobile photography
-
Bring dead projects to life. If you’ve been using your photo or video camera for a while or have been working on motion graphics or illustrations, you have money sleeping in your HD. Make them useful again by selling them to buyers on stock agencies like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, VideoHive, Pond5, GettyImages, etc.
-
PASSIVE INCOME: Sales happen no matter if you’re working, sleeping or traveling. “You’re not only going to learn how to sell your footage & photos on stock agencies – it’s way beyond that. You’ll learn how to set your own passive income.”
This course was made for every creator, wherever you live or whatever the photo/video gear you have. I’ll show you the way to go from zero to passive income.
Beginners will learn how to do their first upload to a stock agency in less than 30 minutes after starting the course.
Advanced contributors will learn the advanced techniques of the pros to speed up the workflow and increase earnings.
I often find creators dealing with this struggle, just as I did. Hating their day jobs, not being able to enjoy what they’re doing and losing love for their art just because the need for money took over it. For many times I caught myself thinking if selling my time in exchange for money was what my life would always be about.
Getting more money won’t necessarily make you happier, that’s why we actually focus on slowly building financial freedom. Being financially free means you don’t need to waste your life doing things you don’t like just because you need the money. It means you don’t have to decide between projects looking for money only. Cause you don’t need that money desperately.
THIS ISN’T EASY MONEY
Selling Stock Footage & Stock Photography is far from a promise of easy money. If that’s what you’re looking for, I don’t believe this course is for you. This course is made for creators interested in selling stock videos, photos or even illustrations to buyers all over the world. By growing your portfolio in the right direction, you’ll be able to set a passive income source.
If you’re not sure yet this course is for you, I invite you to watch the free lessons. The investment to enroll in this class can be quickly repaid by taking action and implementing the techniques revealed.
Once I understood there is a way out, and after living it for more than 6 years, I took the decision to help other creators do the same. That’s what inspired me to create this course.
No matter if you’re the master of video production, color correction and all professional video editing techniques. Or if you fly a drone for aerial videography & aerial photography. Or maybe if you’re just getting started with mobile photography & iPhone filmmaking. If you are a creator, than this course is for you.

In Depth enough. It brings many ideas and directions in which to go with your photography. You’ll know how to make some money from your travel and cover your expenses with enough experience. The course is a shortcut for that. Knowing all the stock sites and have the easy way to upload to all if very valuable. I had my first sale since I watched it I just got started. Instead of just likes on social media, why not get some money too.
Renier Jonker –
Thank you for an excellent course on Udemy. It was very informative. By using your tips and tricks I have submitted 31 photos (Taken on my Samsung Galaxy S8) to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Dreamstime and Pond 5. All 31 photos were accepted and approved by Shutterstock, Dreamstime and Pond 5. Looking forward to your next course!
William Flynn –
It is working out quite well. The information fills in the details needed to proceed to each step of using Shutterstock correctly as well as many other stock photography outlets. Without this course the time and energy spent to get into using the stock photography market would have exhausted my schedule and limited my output to the agencies.
Steve –
This is a very well thought out course. It goes through all you will need to make money at stock photography and gives a lot of useful tips which I haven’t come across before in the many YouTube videos I have seen on the subject. He provides excellent insight from his years of experience and provides resources that you can use to improve your productivity. It has, for me been well worth the money. Thank you.
Sean Drozario –
I liked that you have differentiated between the definitions of knowledge and wisdom.
Part 4 is also very interesting in that I’ve learnt a bit more about the difference between pros and beginners. One thing you could have mentioned is that trying to copy an image by a pro may not always work because lighting or weather is not always the same at a particular location even if I were to go at the same time or date that the pro took his or her photo.
There’s quite a bit of useful information in following sections. Although I had some photos to load on the Shutterstock and I would suggest to make your way through the other sections, even if you’re not going to do a photo assignment as there’s loads of useful stuff in those sections of the course.
I have submitted some photos to Shutterstock. Out of the twelve I have done two have been accepted. I think this has been a useful as I am learning from my experiences. I found the hints and tips on Google and Shutterstock trends helpful as well as using Black Box which will be areas I’ll look into.
Thanks for a really interesting and informative course. It’s been well worth my time and I have enjoyed learning something new, especially in the times we’re currently in.
Orce Lazarevski –
yes, I hope so!
Heather Gillespie –
So far I haven’t learned anything, but I’m expecting that to come soon.
Tim Martorana –
It seems like this is an old project that you no longer maintain.
– your first “assignment” is to post on the FB page but you first need to be approved. Plus it seems a bit pointless.
– your last announcement was two years ago. Obviously the promise of updated content is Lo longer relevant.
A T –
I’ll tell you later
Sarah Twamley –
Yes, straight to the point with answers and cases.
Adding mindset is powerful for everyone when learning something new. Great leadership sir.
Scott Domaratius –
Good suggestions presented simply, and clearly. Well-organized variety of topics give a great overview of the stock photo & footage business. Conversational examples from experience are quite helpful.
Isoke James –
I’m at the beginning, so far the information is useful and very transparent. I can appreciate it.
