💰 Adam shares how he’s making money right now…

Creating stock media videos. I earn $1-2k / month in royalties. I typically just take my camera with me when I’m out of the house or doing everyday things (cooking, working, hobbies, etc.). There are endless number of subjects and niches that barely have any content or could use a fresh take.

Marketplaces he uses 👇

I’m on about a dozen different sites– mostly non-exclusive, so I can have the same content earning everywhere… Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Pond5 are ones I’d recommend for new folks.

🤔 Do you need an expensive camera?

You can definitely start out with just your phone. It’s more about what you shoot than camera quality…

I used to do some pro video work years ago but it’s mostly just been a hobby.

What to shoot…

If you check out Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, etc. you can see what folks are buying. Do some test searches and note what is on page 1 of results.

I typically stay away from trending/news related stuff since it’s not likely to continue having that much demand after a while. The exception being if I think I can get something up quicker than most folks.

Evergreen topics are a lot more consistent though.
