You can become a Shutterstock contributor free of charge. To do so, go to their Contributor site and sign up by following the steps. Becoming a contributor is easy, but making money on Shutterstock may not be as easy. Let’s remember that this library has over 300 million images and over 15 million video clips. If you hope to make a living with Shutterstock or a similar platform, you need to consider the following. Making money with Shutterstock is a full-time job. You need to focus on the quality of your submitted images and videos. You also need to submit good quantities of clips and photos to the library. Don’t think that a submitted video clip will bring you riches. Set up a plan of, say, 500 video clips of good to great quality to submit. Expect 10-15% of your clips to be rejected. Shutterstock’s review practices are strict when it comes to technical specs. Our experience with Shutterstock is that you can expect to make between $100-$200 with 200-250 video clips. You need to submit new clips all the time, as the platform prioritizes new stuff on a regular basis.
