Are you a seasoned stock contributor with valuable insights to share? How about earning a one-time $100 by publishing one of your monthly stock photography and/or footage earnings as a guest on the blog? If that sounds interesting, read on!

I’m seeking 12 contributors to feature in 2025, one for each month of the year. This is a chance to diversify the content on the blog and showcase a variety of portfolios while keeping things fresh and insightful for our readers.

At the end of 2025 there will be a bonus payment of an additional $100 for the most insightful/interesting blog post of the year, as voted by the readership.

Why This Idea?

After six years of publishing my own earnings reports, things are starting to feel a bit repetitive especially as new content struggles to sell. Many of my best-sellers remain consistent month after month.

By introducing reports from different contributors, we can all learn new strategies, gain insights from diverse portfolios and enjoy a bit of renewal for the blog. Plus, you’ll earn a cool $100 for your contribution.

Participation Requirements:

• Earnings Threshold: Participant must have earned an average of $500/month net over the past 12 months. I won’t ask for proof – I trust you.
• Active Uploading: Participant should be actively uploading new content to stock agencies. Dormant portfolios are not eligible
• Report Format: Participant must follow the blog’s established earnings template. Your report should include: A brief write-up (200–400 words) about your portfolio, strategy, and observations about market trends and short discussion about agencies. As well as relevant visual aids such as: charts, graphs, or screenshots to complement your report.
• Active engagement (optional but encouraged): Share your post on your social media to boost engagement and respond to comments or questions on the blog post to interact with readers.
• Responsibility Clause: The Brutally Honest Blog will not be held responsible if a stock agency disapproves of sharing this information or if others replicate your best-sellers.
• Payment of $100 to be made on the day of publication.

What’s in It for You?

Not only will you earn $100 for your contribution, but you’ll also:

• Compete for the $100 bonus prize for the best guest post of 2025.
• Showcase your portfolio to a wide audience (granted this may not bring so many benefits and thieves are lurking but in the case of selling Prints it may bring traffic to your shop).
• Share your insights and strategies with a vibrant community.
• Reach a new audience, which can be great if you already publish your earnings on YouTube.
• Get out of your comfort zone and try something different.
