Last month I only sold two footage clips for a whopping $79.20 and photo sales were a measly $41.62. August sucked and September is looking like it's not getting any better. This makes me hesitant to go out full time to be a full-time photographer. I have 15,258 photos and 1,544 footage clips on Shutterstock. On Pond5, I have 1528 clips and 2024 photos. On Storyblocks, I have 2,148 items from photos and video clips.
I have a really, really strong urge to do the travelling photographer bug. I've had it since about 2014. I really, really want to do it but I have a fear of not being able to support the travel. I want to travel full time in my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport AWD SUV. I want to do it in Canada and the United States full time. I'm going to have a hard time in the States because of not having a work visa or a green card. I will have to do a lot of research on how people support themselves on the road while travelling.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
