How to get stock photos/footage to sell?

Easy way to get photos and video

If you have a DSLR camera or video recorder, you can get professional photos and videos. That is the best way to get high-quality images. But most of you guys don’t have a camera.

So you can use your smartphone. 90% of you have a smartphone. And the new smartphone has a high-quality camera. So you can get footage of your town, village, naturistic places, or any object around you.

Everything has value, so if you saw someplace or object that most people unable to reach, get a photo and upload it. If someone interested in that image, that person will buy it.

Unfortunately, If you don’t have a smartphone too, you can create Vector and PSD templates to sell. So this is the best thing that you can do. Only you need knowledge about design and image concepts. So don’t worry about the mobile phone or camera to try to create a vector. It has a huge demand.

• You may reject for few times, but don’t give up keep upload quality image until they approve your image.
• If you get any error message, search it on Google. You will find the answer.

Those are the things that you must consider before upload.

Also, I didn’t get any sales on my Shutterstock account for three months. It is nature. So keep upload and complete your profile until 100%. When you upload photos, Add maximum tags and be patient.
