Does anyone have any experience selling stock footage?
I made an account Blackbox several months ago which is an agency that handles all your stock footage and distributes to 4 major stock video companies under it's own guild name creating more traffic to your content but on the downside taking a percentage out of each sale. I've only uploaded around 300 clips so far and made around $25 each month for the past 3 months. It also has to option to assign curators to either edit and colour your footage or do the keywords for you (or both) which I find useful as I usually assign the curation for keywords to another professional for a 20% fee but it takes out a lot of work of out of it.
I'm curious to see anyone who has experience of uploading directly with stock footage websites, how hard it is to get sales and if it really more worth it overall than a platform such as Blackbox?
