Having complete control of your audio levels in Premiere Pro is simple. Here are two quick ways to fade audio volume in and out with ease.
It’s that time again when I share all the details of what I made this month from selling stock footage and photography across three major stock sites: Shutterstock, Pond5, and Adobe Stock.

My current catalog includes 444 images and 469 videos.
This one has gained a good amount of traction this month and is beginning to sell more frequently. It sold for a total of seven times.

For this entire year, this video has been my top seller each month. This month it sold twice for a total of $62.17.

Want to dive even deeper? If you’ve read my monthly income reports then you already know that I haven’t added a single clip or photo to my portfolio since January this year, and yet I’m still making hundreds of dollars each and every month from photo and video sales. It’s the easiest money I’ve ever made. I’m walking you through exactly how to do it, even with a small portfolio of HD clips.

(note: I don’t think Pond5 markets photo sales on their site anymore. I almost never get any photo sales here.)
Nothing crazy to note this month with Pond5 other than the fact that I’m pretty excited to have two drone footage sales. My husband and I just started experimenting with the drone this past fall. I uploaded a handful of shots from a trip out west and I’ve been very curious to see how they do.
I hear about a lot of other stock contributors uploading drone shots, so I’m skeptical that the niche may be oversaturated, but I’m hoping to be proven wrong.
I uploaded these in March and have begun seeing sales from them for the first time this month on Pond5 as well as Adobe Stock as you’ll see in a moment.
In case you’re curious how long it typically takes for footage to sell once you’ve uploaded it, I recently made a post all about my experience here.

Finally, a decent month on Adobe Stock!
If you’ve been following along with my monthly income reports, you may have noticed a sharp decline in monthly earnings from Adobe Stock. I have no idea why yet, but I’m happy this month wasn’t so bad.
All the difference came from one video sale. It is a drone shot through the Gallatin Mountains near Bozeman, Montana. I obviously hope this trend continues but only time will tell.
Overall it’s been a pretty average month of stock footage earnings: not great, but not too bad.
Here was the grand total across all sites in case you’re interested: $259.04
And here is a breakdown by site and month so far for 2019.
As always, thanks for your interest in my stock photography/footage journey. I am enjoying sharing the process with you. Please comment below for any additional thoughts or questions. Would love to hear from you!
Happy shooting,
