I did a search and only saw a few older posts on the subject, so I wanted to bring it up again to see if anything has recently changed. (and yes I'm 107 certified)
From what I've read on this forum, selling stock footage (video/photo) is a long-game where it takes 6-12 months to gain any real momentum in profit, which is understandable. But I wanted to see if that was still the case now, especially for these sites I keep hearing about: artgrid, blackbox, adobe stock, pond5 (I've found through certain stock websites, once you upload footage through them you can't use the same footage with another stock website, which sounds limiting)
But I was also curious to know if anyone has found success with selling footage from their own website? And if so, how long did it take you for your first sale to come in?
