You're already walking the streets. Get paid for what you're already shooting.
A real estate agent capturing listings. A restaurant owner filming Sunday brunch. A neighborhood walker who noticed how the light hits Pioneer Square at blue hour. Your camera roll is already full of clips worth selling. BrollCollective is where local content finds national buyers, agents, marketers, and content creators who need real footage of real places, not generic stock.
From the people who actually live here.
The streets you walk on a trip are someone's hyperlocal.
You travel. Maybe for work. Maybe because you can. Every new neighborhood you walk is potentially someone's home market, and they need authentic, street-level footage of it. Your traveler's eye for a place isn't a hobby. It's a product BrollCollective buyers are actively looking for. Pick up your phone in a hotel lobby, a ferry deck, a morning market, earn from the trip.
The B-roll travel content has been missing.
The economics, without the asterisks.

Creator FAQ
The questions every creator asks.
How do I actually get paid?
$0.50 per download lands in your Stripe balance the moment a subscriber downloads. Daily payouts to your bank by default, typically within 2 business days. Adjust the cadence anytime from your earnings dashboard.
Do I keep the copyright?
Yes. Always. You grant BrollCollective a license to host and distribute your clips on the platform. Copyright stays with you.
Can I sell the same clips on Storyblocks or Pond5?
Yes. We don't ask for exclusivity. License your work wherever you want.
What gear do I need?
A phone is the floor. Modern iPhone or recent Android shoots 4K. We accept HD. Drones, mirrorless, cinema cameras all welcome but not required.
What gets rejected in review?
Recognizable people without a model release, branded signage that creates trademark issues, low-quality shake or focus issues, duplicate uploads. Rejection notes always tell you why.
How long until I see my first download?
Depends on your city's coverage and the prompt categories your clips fit. Creators in well-tagged cities and high-demand prompts (golden hour, brunch patios, For Sale establishes) typically see first downloads within their first month live.
What's the verified creator status?
A tier you reach by uploading consistently and passing review at high rates. Verified creators get featured placement, priority review, and the October 2027 lock. No application required, you earn it through the work.
