About This Course
A beginner course for learning the stock footage business model
I struggled for years to figure out how to make money with my passion for travel and making videos. After many travel videos on Youtube that earned me very little, a stock footage agency in Singapore contacted me to organize my video collection and sell it over the Internet. I organized my collection and figured out how to get my collection on-line making money for me. Finally I figured it out. Nothing more exciting than seeing sales on the video clips.
If you have a passion for Travel, video, or even photography I want to share how you can make money with your passions and save you the struggle. This is a practical hands-on course that will teach you everything to need to start creating travel videos and making money with them on stock footage agencies.

I thought overall, this course was worth the $12 I spent. No regrets, and I appreciate Greg's experience and perspective. I would have liked more in depth content, and more best practices. Greg alludes to many things of interest, but some are skimmed over.
All in all, worth the money, and I would definitely take another course from Greg.
