Yeah the stock world is another beast entirely. I have some friends that do it full time but I have never done it because i assume it takes a good amount of work and upkeep to stay relevent. At least that's what I hear. They push for you to keep uploading is that right? It'd be cool if I could slowly get 2000 images up there and just bank on that for a while... but that's not what I have heard. But then again I haven't done it.
You certainly need to stay relevant if you're shooting events and editorial kind of shots. But basic stock for travel and lifestyle can last for ages and still be relevant. A beautiful tropical beach will sell for years and at anytime.
Awesome good to know. I may have to start looking into it. But i realize its tons of work. Right?
It's a bit of work at the start but once you build up a decent collection it can just make you money with no effort. Kind of like Steemit ;)
