Why follow these microstockers?

1.-Trajectory and growth

To keep growing it is always good to watch and learn from the best, from their successes and mistakes. Analyze the way they work, the way they portray or create their content and, above all, how they differentiate themselves from the rest.

The Stock Media sector continues to grow and it is increasingly difficult to differentiate and sell unique and different graphic content. Therefore, from Vecpho we encourage you to keep watching and learning from these authors to grow your own portfolio.

2.- Quantity of resources

In addition to quality, the quantity of resources you share with stock sites is very important. Of course, the only way to keep growing your portfolio is through hard work and the passage of time.

At Vecpho we always encourage our authors to be consistent with their assets and keep expanding their portfolio day by day. The higher the number of assets, the higher your earnings will be in Stock Media.

3.- Sites in which they are found

Most of these authors have their main portfolio on Shutterstock, although other sites such as Adobe Stock, Envato Elements or Canva are still very relevant within the industry.

In addition, more and more specialized stock sites are appearing that are looking for different and exclusive content.

If, like all these artists, you also want to reach the top of Microstock, you should keep working and improving your portfolio of resources. If you need help to improve your portfolio and you don’t know how to reach more stock sites, Vecpho will be happy to help you.
