Before I talk about how to make money from the Shutterstock website I would like to talk to you a little bit about what this site is and how it works.
Actually guys this Shutterstock is a website where we can download the highest quality photo, video, etc. in any way. It actually started in 2003 in New York, USA. If you go to this Shutterstock website you can see a collection of millions of photos and videos. This site sells them to anyone looking for any kind of photo and video. A lot of companies and people come regularly to buy more quality photos from this site.
We are not allowed in the world or in Sri Lanka to take photos or videos of someone else without our permission and use them for our work. But on websites like Shutterstock, we can use the relevant photos we buy for our promotions and other work. But keep in mind that it varies depending on the license for the design. So many people from all over the world come to this website to buy the best photos and videos for money like this.
In this way, when someone buys a photo or video from Shutterstock for money, the Shutterstock website gets a lot of it. Another part belongs to the creator or owner of that design.
There are a lot of Contributors or creators who add PHoto, Video, Artwork, etc. to this Shutterstock website for money as well. This is how Shutterstock certainly pays these creators some money, as I said earlier. There are many designers in the world as well as in Sri Lanka who continue to collect such high-quality creations and earn a lot of money from them every month. So today we are going to teach you how to contribute to this Shutterstock website as a contributor and earn money from it.
This is really a great opportunity for those who do professional photography, mobile photography as well as those who create in Photoshop, Illustrator. If you already have high-quality photos, videos, artworks like this, you can register as a Contributor on this Shutterstock website today and upload them. Also, if you already have a DSLR camera or a smartphone with a good camera, you can put good photos and videos in front of you and sell them. So I can directly recommend this as a website where everyone can make money easily, no matter what your status.
So friends who would like to start work today, go below and register on this website?
Register to Shutterstock as a Contributor
Following the link above, you need to click on Get Started on the next page. Then you have to give First Name, Display Name, Email, Password. Enter your name exactly as it is. Also, be sure to provide a working email. Give the password a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters as well as numbers. Make sure you keep track of the email passwords you provide here.
After this, you will receive an email from this website. You need to find that email and confirm that it is yours. Then you have to enter other details into your account. That means Country, City, Postal Code, Mail address, Mobile Number, etc. Be sure to give real details to this. If you do not know the postal code, you can do a Google search for the postal code followed by the name of your village and you can find the code.
After entering these details you can sign in to this website. Then from today, you can upload your quality photos and videos. Remember to write down your email and password details somewhere. Or you'll get bored if you forget.
Now let's see how to properly upload a photo or video to this,
After signing in, you will see something called Upload on the website. From there you can upload a video or a photo.
If you are uploading a photo, its size must be more than 4MB. Smaller sizes will not be approved. They also look closely at their quality. If they do not comply with their guidelines, they will not approve. So I would like you to read that requirement before work. You can see what they are by following the link below.
Shutterstock requirements for Images
If you put photos, they say put them in .jpeg format. The maximum photo size is 50 MB. Then you must put only those between 4 - 50 megabytes.
Also, they only recommend .mov or .mp4 type videos. Their duration should be between 5-60 seconds. They also need to be less than 4 Gb in size. Similarly, if you are uploading artworks like Illustrator, they also have the relevant requirements. You can take care of all this by following the link below.
Technical requirements for footage
This way, they will not approve the photos, videos, etc. that you upload to their site at once. They only take a few days to look at our designs and approve them if appropriate. It usually takes about 5 days. If your designs are not approved, they will send you the reasons.
Normally when you upload a photo, you have to give the Category, Tags, Description, Location related to that photo. When selecting the category, give the ones that match your photo exactly. Tags are the words you want to show your photo to others who are searching. They can give you 50 too. 25 of them will suit you too. You can put these 50 in the rest of the matching ones. But you have to make sure that you give them exactly what you want. Here you have to give a short description of a few words. Then submit yourself.
Once your Images, Video, etc. are approved, you can give your design money to other buyers. Then you get roughly a fraction of what they sell at any given time. So keep posting the best images and videos that you can collect on this website. The more you put in, the more likely you are to sell them. Therefore, if you have an account today, do not leave only two or three photos. Then your income will increase.
Now let's see how you make money,
You have to earn at least $ 35 to get the money. Then you have the ability to withdraw the money from Paypal, Skrill, Payoneer. Here you can withdraw money from Payoneer so you can withdraw money through an ATM with a Payoneer Card. Those who do not have this card can download the card through the Payoneer website.
I will not talk more about how to withdraw money from Paypal or Skrill. Because I've discussed this a lot in previous articles like Pop cash, Revenuehits, Picoworkers, Fiverr. Anyone can find and read those articles
