6 Reasons You Should Become a Synchedin Contributor
There are a number of brilliant reasons why you should become a Synchedin contributor right now. Let us explain the benefits for you!
Before we dive into exactly why you should climb aboard the royalty free train and become a Synchedin contributor, let us explain what one is.
What Is a Synchedin Contributor?
As a royalty free and creative commons (CC0) assets platform, Synchedin has to source its content from somewhere. All our royalty free music comes from our official partner and digital music distributor, RouteNote. This is currently done by invite only, but the story is different when it comes to sound effects (SFX) and images…
We actively encourage creative types to share their portfolio, be it Foley or photography, on Synchedin for other creative types to enjoy. People can apply to become a Synchedin contributor and upload their work to the site, ready for it to be downloaded and used by others. We love this because it means the website is filled with wonderful assets, and creative people are going to get the recognition for their work that they deserve!
Not being big fans of barriers and limits, we’ve made how to become a contributor a smooth and simple process. This means more time for creators to do what they love, and less time messing around with complicated application forms.
Why Become a Synchedin Contributor?
So far, it’s pretty clear how becoming a Synchedin contributor benefits us. But we want you to see just how great being a Synchedin contributor is for you. So, without further ado…
Earn Passive Income
Make money whilst you sleep? Um, yes please. Earning passive income, where the money just rolls in whilst you sip your coffee or hang out your laundry, is the dream. And a dream that can become a reality if you become a Synchedin contributor.
Once you apply as a contributor and enter your bank or PayPal details, the process for being paid is smooth sailing. Each time someone downloads one of your sound effects or stock images, you’ll get remunerated. It’s that simple.
Join a Growing Community
Many creative types find themselves squirrelling away tirelessly; recording, editing, uploading, organising. It can be lonely work sometimes, especially if you’re a freelancer. By joining the Synchedin contributor tribe, you can come across like-minded people, get inspired and even forge new connections. Which leads on to the next benefit…
Network With Creatives
Sometimes, working with other people can help get those creative juices flowing. Furthermore, we find that lots of creatives are multi-talented and enjoy working on a variety of projects. This means that, as a contributor of images who also shoots short movies, you could stumble across a Foley artist who might be perfect to work on your next film with. It’s all about the “sharing is caring” attitude over here.
Be a Part of Something Exciting & New
When Synchedin shoots into the royalty free assets stratosphere, wouldn’t you like to be able to say you were there at the beginning? Joining Synchedin at this relatively early stage means you are part of the foundation of something wonderful.
Due to our size, we’re able to offer personal and thorough customer service and take the time to answer any questions or queries you might have. We love to make genuine connections with our contributors, which isn’t necessarily something some bigger sites can offer.
Get Recognition For Your Work
It’s always nice to get a pat on the back. Most creative types have both physical and digital treasure troves of work they’ve produced over the years. Whilst lots of it might be “spare” or “excess” when it comes to other projects, that stuff is gold dust when it comes to stock assets.
Rather than your creations sitting in the dark, gathering dust and going unloved, they could be enjoyed by content creators the world over. This means that you could get some tasty and affirming recognition for your work by all sorts of people, and that’s always a bonus, right?
Free Marketing
We always encourage creators who use Synchedin to share their work with us and spread some love for the assets they use. We also have a fantastic affiliate programme, which has meant popular YouTubers bigging up some awesome Synchedin assets to their viewers. This all equates to some precious and free marketing for you, as a contributor. Who doesn’t love something for nothing?
