In the past years, you have probably heard that some photographers and video makers have managed to create a source of passive income. Stock footage websites are popular these days because it provides a free or affordable alternative to getting the content you need for your project. If you have a professional video camera or a photo camera, here are a few websites that you might want to upload your content to:
1. Shutterstock
Shutterstock is one of the most popular websites for earning passive income from uploading stock footage. The website accepts high-quality images, videos and vectors that meet their required specs. If you are photographing people, you will need a Model Release in order to sell those images. After you upload your content, it will have to go through an approval phase. Once approved, you are eligible to start earning money from Shutterstock.
2. Alamy
On Alamy, you can sell your photos, vectors, illustrations, 360 images and videos. You will also need to fill in model or property releases forms for your stock images. Once you have uploaded your content to Alamy, it will need to pass Quality Control (QC) before appearing on the website. In order to pass the QC, your image needs to be of high quality. You can also upload “Live News” photos, which are photos that were captured within 24 hours of the event.
