Consumer Video Tips

Shutterstock.com is a royalty-free stock video/photo site that lets you acquire or sell stock video footage. Shutterstock Footage offers a wide variety of royalty-free material, categorized by subject and searchable by keyword. Video clips are up to one minute in length, and will range in price from to per clip, depending on resolution and quality. Once a video clip has been purchased, the customer can use the footage royalty-free, forever.

I found several great clips available in low-web resolution for as little as $10.

If you want to jazz up your own video productions, stock footage can be a very easy way to achieve this goal. But wait – there’s more.

You can use Shutterstock to make money too. They’re accepting submissions for their stock footage library. They offer a 30% commission on sales. The Shutterstock submission guidelines are available on their website.
