First Sale of Video Stock Footage

by · July 9, 2009

Just a week after uploading my initial videos to Pond5 and Shutterstock, I have had my first sale. It happens to be a video I created on the computer by zooming into a larger digital photograph of a foreclosure sign, but its moody and cloudy impression is obviously just what the buyer was looking for. The video sold for $50, of which I get $25. So a very good start to my adventure in stock footage sales.

I’ll keep you informed of future sales! Hopefully!
