As I mentioned last night, I use a TON of stock media... from videos, to music, to images and graphics. But the question is, where do you get the stock material. The most popular places are iStock and ShutterStock.
But have you checked them out? One stock video clip is around $60! For a 30-second video, you might need 6 clips, meaning a cost of $360 right at the top! Can't charge $500 for a quick video, if it costs that much just for stock video!
And that's just video. Images can cost $30-40 each as well.
That is why I ALWAYS pick up any of the collections that pop up from time to time.
By keeping these collections handy, I can save hundreds... or thousands, when working on a project.
This week alone, I created videos for a dental client, made animated videos for the escape room, and even designed some logos.... all using stock media. My cost...$0.00... because I had libraries of media to work from!
That's why, if you haven't checked out StockRush.... you should! If you pick up StuckRush, and used just 1 image, 1 time... it would cost less than buying 1 image or video on iStock!
