Chances are the commercial producers  used a combination of content they captured themselves, along with Stock Video.  

Stock video is short video clips that are used in countless areas of media production where it would be very costly or time consuming for the production to film it themselves.

Everywhere you see video playing there is a high likelihood you will find stock video. TV commercials, Youtube Videos, even TV shows and Movies use stock video footage.

The major appeal of using stock video are that it is 1, Cheap relative to capturing the content directly and 2. Extremely fast to purchase and download a clip that is needed.

With this in mind, there is a huge opportunity for those who make video content (You!) to sell your video clips on stock video agencies to earn some extra cash.

There are a number of stock video agencies out there that act as marketplaces where buyers purchase video clips sellers supply. In exchange for running this marketplace, the stock agency takes a percentage of the commission of the sale.

This site has been organized to help guide you through the steps from capturing the stock video all the way through to uploading and making your first sales and beyond.
