Course Description

BE A STOCK CREATOR.

One day I noticed a way out. I realized I could use my own creativity to make passive income online. I learned how to sell videos, photos, and vector illustrations of old finished projects so they could be used by buyers all over the world.

This is not only a career for photography & videography professionals. But a path for everyone starting with iPhone Photography, Drone Photography, Travel Photography or even iPhone Filmmaking. 

So, here are 3 reasons you should be selling Stock Footage & Stock Photography.

  1. Earn while you learn. It doesn't matter if you're a professional or beginner if you have a digital camera and know your way around it, it's enough to get started. You can even get started with mobile photography

  2. Bring dead projects to life. If you've been using your photo or video camera for a while or have been working on motion graphics or illustrations, you have money sleeping in your HD. Make them useful again by selling them to buyers on stock agencies like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, VideoHive, Pond5, GettyImages, etc.

  3. PASSIVE INCOME: Sales happen no matter if you're working, sleeping or traveling. "You're not only going to learn how to sell your footage & photos on stock agencies – it's way beyond that. You'll learn how to set your own passive income."

This course was made for every creator, wherever you live or whatever the photo/video gear you have. I'll show you the way to go from zero to passive income.

Beginners will learn how to do their first upload to a stock agency in less than 30 minutes after starting the course.

Advanced contributors will learn the advanced techniques of the pros to speed up the workflow and increase earnings.


I often find creators dealing with this struggle, just as I did. Hating their day jobs, not being able to enjoy what they're doing and losing love for their art just because the need for money took over it. For many times I caught myself thinking if selling my time in exchange for money was what my life would always be about.

Getting more money won't necessarily make you happier, that's why we actually focus on slowly building financial freedom. Being financially free means you don't need to waste your life doing things you don't like just because you need the money. It means you don't have to decide between projects looking for money only. Cause you don't need that money desperately.

THIS ISN'T EASY MONEY
Selling Stock Footage & Stock Photography is far from a promise of easy money. If that's what you're looking for, I don't believe this course is for you. This course is made for creators interested in selling stock videos, photos or even illustrations to buyers all over the world. By growing your portfolio in the right direction, you'll be able to set a passive income source.

If you're not sure yet this course is for you, I invite you to watch the free lessons. The investment to enroll in this class can be quickly repaid by taking action and implementing the techniques revealed.

Once I understood there is a way out, and after living it for more than 6 years, I took the decision to help other creators do the same. That's what inspired me to create this course.


No matter if you're the master of video production, color correction and all professional video editing techniques. Or if you fly a drone for aerial videography & aerial photography. Or maybe if you're just getting started with mobile photography & iPhone filmmaking. If you are a creator, than this course is for you.

Trudno nazwać to kursem... Zbiór porad zebranych do kupy...

By Sean Drozario on 8/1/2020

I liked that you have differentiated between the definitions of knowledge and wisdom. Part 4 is also very interesting in that I've learnt a bit more about the difference between pros and beginners. One thing you could have mentioned is that trying to copy an image by a pro may not always work because lighting or weather is not always the same at a particular location even if I were to go at the same time or date that the pro took his or her photo. There's quite a bit of useful information in following sections. Although I had some photos to load on the Shutterstock and I would suggest to make your way through the other sections, even if you're not going to do a photo assignment as there's loads of useful stuff in those sections of the course. I have submitted some photos to Shutterstock. Out of the twelve I have done two have been accepted. I think this has been a useful as I am learning from my experiences. I found the hints and tips on Google and Shutterstock trends helpful as well as using Black Box which will be areas I'll look into. Thanks for a really interesting and informative course. It's been well worth my time and I have enjoyed learning something new, especially in the times we're currently in.

This is a very well thought out course. It goes through all you will need to make money at stock photography and gives a lot of useful tips which I haven't come across before in the many YouTube videos I have seen on the subject. He provides excellent insight from his years of experience and provides resources that you can use to improve your productivity. It has, for me been well worth the money. Thank you.

This course offers a great introduction to the world of stock agencies and stock footage.

By Karan on 3/27/2019

I'm brand new to selling stock photography and this was the perfect course for me. It was very clear and well organized. Perfect teaching style for me. Congrats to Gui Siebert for creating such an excellent course! I'm going to check out any other courses he has created. So now, it's all up to me to see if I can make some money on my photos but this course has certainly shown me how.

By Eileen Conragan on 3/21/2019

He has a good delivery and manner about him in presenting the material.Lots of detailed information that is shedding true light on what it is to get involved with stock photography. It is helping me to take a stab in this game. His experience and honesty about stock photography is appreciated.

By William Flynn on 3/5/2019

It is working out quite well. The information fills in the details needed to proceed to each step of using Shutterstock correctly as well as many other stock photography outlets. Without this course the time and energy spent to get into using the stock photography market would have exhausted my schedule and limited my output to the agencies.

By Renier Jonker on 2/26/2019

Thank you for an excellent course on Udemy. It was very informative. By using your tips and tricks I have submitted 31 photos (Taken on my Samsung Galaxy S8) to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Dreamstime and Pond 5. All 31 photos were accepted and approved by Shutterstock, Dreamstime and Pond 5. Looking forward to your next course!

By Evelyn Orea on 1/7/2019

Hello Gui, what makes this a 5-star course in my opinion are the tips you give us, something I would like you to add are some tips on how to correctly edit the footage, let's say in how the agencies prefer them, color correction and things like that, Thanks for your time

By Alexandre Rotenberg on 11/23/2018

As someone who has come from a photography background and is making the logical transition into stock footage, this course has been most welcome! In particular, I've found the course extremely organised & easy to follow, informative (but not to the point where it's overwhelming) and has a good pace and strong visuals within the relatively short tutorials. My biggest takeaway was the reinforcement that images/clips need to tell a story and not just be "pretty" with examples, as well as focusing on, which topics to shoot and why to maximise potential sales. Examples one will see are clips comparing Amazon jungle vs San Francisco and Curitiba vs Rio de Janeiro and why saturated places may be more difficult to have sales even if demand is higher. Only this tip alone in which he goes into great detail, should save new contributors many many hours of frustration. Then there's one tutorial that is dedicated to using useful tools such as Google Trends and adapting it to the stock world. This type of knowledge outlined above is also aimed at the more experienced contributors who may be frustrated with new concepts that struggle to sell. Last but not least, the price is a bargain for the content available. On a personal note, I would like to thank Giu for mentioning me and look forward to further YouTube collaborations. Meanwhile, as a brutally honest type of guy, I brutally honestly recommend this course to anybody who is serious to going from ZERO to SERIOUS income...although not in a 'get rich quick' type of way! :)
