[QUOTE="csgaraglino, post: 577875, member: 42498"] It's not about giving something away for free, it's about paying for marketing. Adding a watermark to a low-res image and having that blasted on Social Media is marketing. FB charges between $20-60/day to do the same thing for you. Yes competition is tough - every phonetographer out there is trying to do the same thing. However if you look at your discipline and look at what's posting and what's selling - just do something a "little" different or even better. It's the same whether it's a photo, video or the next widget on the shelves of Best Buy. But with little effort - you can take these "images & clips" during these non-paid gigs that you think are a fit, get a model release right then and there. When you get home, make a few adjustments, post it and keyword it - your done. After a couple of years doing this - and you build a nice library on a couple stock sites, getting a descent check each months (for me) between $350 and $400 is not bad for not doing to much. Remember, these clips are likely to sit on a archive hard drive in a closet somewhere anyway. [/QUOTE]
