[Audio] Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! It's been a very long time since I posted anything here. I took a long break… but today, I'm finally back. And I'm back with something really special — an update on my microstock photography and videography earnings. I am a stock contributor, and microstock photography and videography is one of my sources of passive income. I've been doing this since 2018… and today I'm excited to share that I've crossed the $10,000 milestone. Yes — over ten thousand dollars in stock earnings. I'm very happy, very grateful, and very excited to share this journey with you. I'll explain you how I started, the struggles I faced, the mistakes I made, and what helped me finally reach this milestone. So stay with me until the end, because I'll share both the good and the bad parts of this journey. Back in 2018, I was just browsing the internet, trying to learn new ways to earn online. That's when I discovered that i can actually sell photos and videos online through stock agencies. At the beginning, I started by uploading photos. And I still remember the day I received my first earning — $0.50 from Shutterstock for an image download. It may sound small… but that 50 cents meant everything to me. It proved that this works. So I started uploading more images. Slowly, small earnings started coming in. But the truth is — the quality and type of images I was creating at that time were not strong enough to generate serious income. That's when I decided to try uploading videos instead of just photos. And something interesting happened… Instead of earning cents, I started earning a few dollars per download. That gave me confidence. I realized that video had much higher earning potential. So I focused more on creating stock videos. But let me be honest — the first few years were not easy. I wasn't earning much because my portfolio was still small. In stock platforms, portfolio size matters a lot. The more quality content you have, the more chances you have to make sales. ________________________________________ Slowly, I started learning. I studied what kind of content sells. I improved my filming skills. I improved my editing. I learned about key wording and market demand. And I kept uploading consistently. Today, I have: • Around 1,000 images • More than 5,000 stock videos online All of them are my own work. I have shot them myself. I have edited them myself. And many of them are motion graphics videos that I created using motion design software. I'm a video editor and motion design artist, and I use my skills to create sellable stock content. Let me tell you something honestly: Building a large stock portfolio is not easy. It takes: • A lot of effort • Hard work • Patience • Consistency To create even one stock video, you go through the full filmmaking process: Planning → Shooting → Editing → Color grading → Exporting → Keywording → Uploading → Approval. And then… you wait. Sometimes it sells quickly. Sometimes it takes months. Sometimes it never sells. That's the reality of stock. But with patience and consistent uploading, things started compounding. Sales increased. Portfolio grew. Confidence improved. And today, I've crossed the $10,000 milestone in stock earnings. For some people, that might not sound huge. But for me, it represents: • Years of learning • Thousands of hours of editing • Rejections • Improvements • And never giving up And the best part? It's passive income. Some Videos I created years ago are still selling today. ________________________________________ Now my goal is simple: Create better content. Create smarter content. And share more knowledge with you all. ________________________________________ 🔔 Closing If you're interested in stock photography, stock videography, or motion design — make sure you subscribe and.
