Selling Digital Wares on VideoHive

Envato is an Australian company I’ve been watching with interest for some time. I first heard of them back when PSDTUTS was the only website they had open. Now they are a large family of websites, some of which I’ve learned a great deal about design. They have a great marketplace for folk to sell their digital wares – VideoHive. Now, keep in mind this is coming from someone who’s never sold stock footage before, nor has any knowledge about what potential profit there is in it.

I recently made the decision to start selling stock footage on VideoHive for a few reasons. One, for me, was the aesthetically pleasing design. Envato websites are always laid out well and look good. The second was the commission rates. Their tiered system only rewards those who keep uploading and sell more clips. They also just don’t accept anyone with a camera and an internet connection – they review your submission and may reject it if it’s not up to their standards. Another HUGE selling point for me is that though they reward you for being an exclusive author, it’s not TOTAL exclusivity. You can upload and sell footage anywhere you want, just don’t try and sell the same clip on VideoHive. Very cool in my opinion, as it allows you to sell your footage elsewhere if you’d like.

That being said, I’m basically saying you can buy some of my timelapses on VideoHive. Some of you have already chosen to do so, and I thank you for that. Won’t you head on over and have a look?
