Tips For Maximizing Your Photo or Video Selection Chances & Earnings

1) Consider The Lighting When Taking Photos & Videos

When you're snapping your photos or shooting your video, make sure to consider the lighting in the room. Is it bright enough? Are there any shadows casted on the product, person or equipment? If so consider moving locations. Natural lighting is always best, but if there are no windows close by, get behind a light. When in doubt try the flash!

2) Take Multiple Shots of The Same Photo

If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again! The slightest angle, pose or movement can make all of the difference. Take multiple shots and upload the best ones to our photo & video buying submission form. We allow 10 uploads per submission. Upload the 10 best photos of the bunch to increase your chances of getting your photo used by our marketing department.

3) Show Energy & Showcase Your Personality in Your Photos & Videos

If you're taking a shot with a industry professional in it, make sure to capture them in a real life working environment. When taking group photos or photos with someone in them, try to show off your exciting environment or personality in the photo. We encourage creativity and uniqueness with the photos & videos you take. It your time to shine!

4) Hold Your Camera Still When Taking Photos & Videos

Try to avoid shaking the camera when taking your photos or videos. If you have a tripod on hand, use that! If not, try placing the camera on a flat surface or attempting to keep a still hand. The clearer the photo, the more you will earn for it!

5) Submit Your Photos & Videos At Multiple Stages

Submit photos when you receive your order, before AND after you install or use the product, etc! Submitting different photos or videos at different stages is highly encouraged. It will also increase your changes tremendously at getting your content purchased!

Using a Phone As a Camera? Here's Some Tips For Maximizing Quality

1) Make Sure You Maximize The Camera Resolution

It's a good practice to turn up the resolution on your phone when taking commercial shots. This will help enhance the quality of your photo, which will help your chances of your photo getting purchased by our marketing department.

2) Don't Zoom In! Instead Get Closer To The Item

If you're using a phone to take your videos or pictures, make sure to avoid using the zoom feature. The zoom often diminishes the quality. Instead, take a few steps closer!

3) Utilize The Gridlines on Your Phone

We love gridlines! They help ensure that the photo you're taking is straight. A symmetrical photo is an ideal selection for our marketing department. Take advantage of the gridlines on your phone and make sure any lines in the photo are straight.
