Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,466 --> 00:00:03,166
when people message me about niches
2
00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:05,066
for stock photography
3
00:00:05,666 --> 00:00:08,466
I can only help but think that
4
00:00:08,466 --> 00:00:10,300
it's important to have a
5
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:13,400
collection of as many images as possible
6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,900
when you're dealing with tens of thousands of images
7
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,066
that are on your schedule
8
00:00:18,066 --> 00:00:20,633
that you should be uploading over time
9
00:00:20,966 --> 00:00:22,800
it's really not a big deal
10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,033
to think about what niches you should
11
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:25,400
you know
12
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,633
kind of create in in the stock photography world
13
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:29,600
the reality is
14
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,466
there's a demand for almost everything created
15
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:34,633
as long as there's decent quality
16
00:00:34,866 --> 00:00:37,766
look at the images on my screen here as I slip through
17
00:00:37,933 --> 00:00:39,900
are these good quality images
18
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:40,500
they are
19
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,800
there's nobody who could sit here and say that
20
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,333
they aren't and these images are upscale everything's
21
00:00:47,333 --> 00:00:51,000
you know done for them that make them look decent
22
00:00:51,066 --> 00:00:54,466
so where is the distinction between a small niche
23
00:00:54,466 --> 00:00:57,466
and a large niche and the specificity
24
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,900
well to be clear
25
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:02,500
and I kind of want to title this video to be clear
26
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,033
both niches matter small and large
27
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:07,500
niches that are small
28
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,066
matter just as much as niches that are large
29
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:13,100
the reality is there are hundreds of millions of stock
30
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,233
photos out there
31
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,700
and for you to find a niche that's untapped
32
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,566
is almost virtually impossible
33
00:01:20,566 --> 00:01:22,533
at this point you know
34
00:01:22,533 --> 00:01:23,100
I I
35
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:24,100
can't think of an itch
36
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,466
that nobody has uploaded images to
37
00:01:26,766 --> 00:01:30,833
so to be specific what you wanna have is a
38
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,466
kind of approach that is a generalized
39
00:01:33,466 --> 00:01:35,500
down to a focused approach
40
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:38,333
let's use this example okay
41
00:01:38,333 --> 00:01:40,800
here I have a plate of mushrooms right
42
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,933
a photo of a plate of mushrooms with bacon okay
43
00:01:43,933 --> 00:01:46,100
I can ask for a plate of mushrooms
44
00:01:46,266 --> 00:01:48,900
you know as a photo with broccoli that would work
45
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,700
I can ask for a plate of mushrooms with meat
46
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,700
I can ask just simply a plate of mushrooms
47
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,000
a plate of mushrooms right
48
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,366
it could be considered a more generalized niche
49
00:02:00,733 --> 00:02:04,466
compared to a plate of mushrooms with bacon right
50
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,600
and you could think of this from a download perspective
51
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,600
if somebody's going out there
52
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,500
looking for an image to download
53
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:12,800
and they want a picture of a plate of mushrooms
54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,600
they might not necessarily be looking
55
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,000
for a plate of mushrooms with bacon
56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,833
in fact
57
00:02:16,966 --> 00:02:19,600
even though you might have a great tremendous photo
58
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:21,533
if that's one not what they're looking for
59
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:23,566
they're not gonna click and download your image
60
00:02:23,566 --> 00:02:26,066
we can all agree on that however
61
00:02:26,733 --> 00:02:28,400
there are people who might be looking
62
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,500
for a plate of mushrooms with bacon
63
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:32,266
and that might be a image
64
00:02:32,266 --> 00:02:34,566
that somebody is actually looking for
65
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,700
so really what I like to do is go down the list
66
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,700
and I've talked about this ideology before
67
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:43,533
is going down the list of creating mental variations
68
00:02:43,533 --> 00:02:46,300
of the image so let me kind of show you how that works
69
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,666
so if I just go over here
70
00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:50,266
whether it's through Leonardo AI
71
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:53,000
or even through mid journey
72
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,066
it all works I copy the prompt right
73
00:02:56,066 --> 00:02:59,066
I'll go ahead and set my quality restrictions
74
00:02:59,066 --> 00:03:02,033
so dash dash Q and then one
75
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:06,866
and what I'll do is I'll remove the word bacon right
76
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:10,400
so just a plate of cooked mushrooms photograph
77
00:03:10,466 --> 00:03:15,000
zoom out let's just also add here white background
78
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,233
something like this
79
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:17,766
you know you don't have to add white background
80
00:03:17,766 --> 00:03:20,300
but I'm just simply using this as a example
81
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,466
for a teaching lesson then let's go over here
82
00:03:22,466 --> 00:03:25,000
make sure the size is proper stylization
83
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,300
we can add 100
84
00:03:26,533 --> 00:03:29,833
and make sure we're gonna set it to Turbo just for now
85
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,266
and let's hit enter
86
00:03:31,466 --> 00:03:33,666
and then for the sake of this creation
87
00:03:33,666 --> 00:03:36,800
let's also go in let's use this text
88
00:03:36,866 --> 00:03:38,266
and then we're gonna go over here
89
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,466
and create a raw image as well
90
00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:42,366
but without forgetting
91
00:03:42,366 --> 00:03:46,333
let's not forget how to set the quality restriction
92
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:48,566
so let's add two dashes here
93
00:03:48,866 --> 00:03:55,433
dash dash hold on dash dash Q and then space 1 okay
94
00:03:55,566 --> 00:03:59,266
and once again this is using our raw with Turbo on
95
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:00,766
and let's go ahead enter
96
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,000
and you can see here this is the first creation
97
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,166
this is purely just mushrooms
98
00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:06,500
whether they're cooked
99
00:04:06,566 --> 00:04:09,166
or whether they look a little raw
100
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:12,900
to be honest but not bad of an image um
101
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,566
and then you have here the other version of the image
102
00:04:15,566 --> 00:04:17,000
so if I like
103
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200
let's just say the style of the raw better
104
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,800
I just feel like that it looks a little bit better
105
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,633
overall
106
00:04:22,666 --> 00:04:26,100
it's what I'll go with so now that I know my style
107
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,200
now it's literally going down the list
108
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,666
just like I said so what do I do
109
00:04:30,666 --> 00:04:32,533
I set up my quality restriction
110
00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:36,466
so two dashes with a Q and then a space one
111
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,366
and then I start adding to the list
112
00:04:38,366 --> 00:04:41,000
so this one is about a plate of mushrooms photograph
113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,866
right I can say a plate of mushrooms with
114
00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:49,066
and I can add broccoli right
115
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,466
right just like that
116
00:04:52,466 --> 00:04:53,200
and then the next one
117
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,033
I can copy this copy my raw setting dash dash okay
118
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:03,733
Q and then space 1 and then change instead of broccoli
119
00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:05,633
I can add carrots
120
00:05:06,933 --> 00:05:10,166
right and then I could do the exact same thing raw
121
00:05:10,933 --> 00:05:12,466
my two dashes
122
00:05:13,766 --> 00:05:17,666
right just like this and then Q and then space 1
123
00:05:18,166 --> 00:05:19,766
and then instead of carrots
124
00:05:19,766 --> 00:05:22,666
I can remove this and add chicken
125
00:05:22,666 --> 00:05:26,666
let's say right so why am I doing this
126
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,866
it's if I found the system that works
127
00:05:29,866 --> 00:05:32,233
and this is kind of something that plagues people
128
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:36,566
is that they they kind of are frozen in time
129
00:05:36,566 --> 00:05:38,233
not knowing what to create
130
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:41,533
and with like I said the concept of stock photography
131
00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:43,333
would be unwise to say oh
132
00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:44,400
you have to create X
133
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,666
y or Z you don't have to do anything
134
00:05:46,666 --> 00:05:48,100
you don't want to of course
135
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:49,466
but what you really need to do is
136
00:05:49,466 --> 00:05:51,000
you need quantity in this game
137
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,633
and obviously quantity with quality
138
00:05:53,866 --> 00:05:56,566
but to say that oh I shouldn't create pictures of this
139
00:05:56,566 --> 00:05:59,266
or pictures of that is really a wrong ideology
140
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,233
you have to create as many photos as possible
141
00:06:02,333 --> 00:06:06,100
and however you get to 50,000 uploads 30,000
142
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:07,933
100,000 you know
143
00:06:07,933 --> 00:06:11,266
if you're doing quality like on this level okay
144
00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:13,366
and the images clearly look decent
145
00:06:13,366 --> 00:06:17,000
and you're upscaling and everything looks professional
146
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:19,500
you really can't lose in this business
147
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:21,400
the whole point of this business is
148
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,133
to be able to create an income
149
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:24,500
or a passive income
150
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:26,433
that you could eventually walk away from
151
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:27,333
and if I create
152
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:30,800
let's just say 100,000 images on this caliber
153
00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:33,966
I'll have a very significant form of passive income
154
00:06:33,966 --> 00:06:37,066
that I really never have to approach or work on or fix
155
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:38,466
and it will be like I said
156
00:06:38,466 --> 00:06:42,333
very significant level of income so I mean
157
00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:46,100
we have students who uh you know who have uploaded 10
158
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:46,966
12 14
159
00:06:46,966 --> 00:06:48,566
15,000 uploads
160
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,666
and they have anywhere from 400 to 600 dollars a month
161
00:06:52,666 --> 00:06:55,600
without actually adding anything to their profiles
162
00:06:55,933 --> 00:06:57,666
you know if you extrapolate that out
163
00:06:57,666 --> 00:06:58,800
if you're if you're doing
164
00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,266
let's just say
165
00:06:59,266 --> 00:07:03,066
100,000 uploads total and you do that for two years
166
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:04,966
and that's 200,000 uploads
167
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:08,466
you can walk away for with 8 to 10,000
168
00:07:08,466 --> 00:07:10,866
12,000 that you're making a month passive
169
00:07:10,866 --> 00:07:13,666
it is possible it's not even an exaggeration
170
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:15,866
because think about the workload that that would take
171
00:07:15,866 --> 00:07:19,933
right 200000+ images that are on this calibre
172
00:07:19,933 --> 00:07:22,866
and this quality not only will people download it
173
00:07:22,866 --> 00:07:24,900
but they'll be happy to download something like this
174
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:25,700
and it will make you money
175
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,700
so don't worry about niche too much
176
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:30,833
and I just kind of showed you how going down the list
177
00:07:31,166 --> 00:07:35,066
creating different ideas like this can absolutely work
178
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:37,900
and once again people get too hung up on the concept
179
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,300
you can do this for anything
180
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:40,800
like if I was to draw
181
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,966
or if I was to ask for a picture of
182
00:07:42,966 --> 00:07:47,866
let's just say a camel in a in a desert right
183
00:07:47,866 --> 00:07:49,700
I can switch up the location
184
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:50,800
I could switch up the animals
185
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,900
I could ask for a tiger in a forest
186
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:54,733
I can ask for a lion in a jungle
187
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:57,700
I can ask for a raccoon in a trash can right
188
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,966
I can go down the list and change different things
189
00:07:59,966 --> 00:08:02,666
so this going down the list mentality is simple
190
00:08:02,666 --> 00:08:03,900
it's really not that difficult
191
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,400
it's not groundbreaking ideologies
192
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,666
but it's something that can keep you mentally going
193
00:08:08,666 --> 00:08:11,066
and it gives you a mental strategy to know okay
194
00:08:11,066 --> 00:08:14,300
here's what I do when I am feeling stuck
195
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,266
or I have this this creators block
196
00:08:17,266 --> 00:08:19,133
I guess you could say right
197
00:08:19,133 --> 00:08:20,566
and that's kind of how you use that
198
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:21,800
and you have to learn
199
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,633
in order to achieve maximum success in this business
200
00:08:24,666 --> 00:08:26,433
how to manipulate your mind
201
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,166
you really have to learn how to control your mind
202
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:30,766
and move past the roadblocks
203
00:08:30,766 --> 00:08:32,600
and when you tell yourself oh
204
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,866
I don't know what to do or I don't know what to create
205
00:08:34,866 --> 00:08:37,166
that is nothing more than a mental roadblock
206
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:38,800
there's somebody in Turkmenistan
207
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,166
who's creating more than you
208
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:41,933
there's someone in ulambatar
209
00:08:41,933 --> 00:08:43,300
who's creating more than you
210
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:44,866
there's someone in Cairo Egypt
211
00:08:44,866 --> 00:08:47,266
who's creating more images than you are
212
00:08:47,466 --> 00:08:49,900
and trust me they don't suffer from mental blocks
213
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,566
they don't suffer from any of these things
214
00:08:51,566 --> 00:08:53,500
because they don't allow themselves to
215
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,933
they don't give themselves that ideology
216
00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:57,400
and it's not a matter of resources
217
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,800
it's not a matter of money
218
00:08:58,866 --> 00:09:00,600
it's just a matter of effectiveness
219
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,066
so go out there be effective
220
00:09:03,066 --> 00:09:05,266
come up with all kinds of crazy ideas
221
00:09:05,333 --> 00:09:08,066
go down the list and create them all right
