Title: No video sales for a while...
Post by: madman on July 26, 2018, 09:36
I have about 50 HD videos that about technology and abstract e.g. on top tier microstock sites but ther have no sales for a while, about 6 month there have no sales at all, it seems video sales has stopped... Why shuttestock, adobe, istock, pond5, dreamstime, and other sites cannot sell videos anymore? (at least mine...) Is there another place to sale video that I do not know or are there some changes that I have not noticed yet?

50 videos is not enough to have any kind of constant downloads.

Try increasing to 500 clips first and keep adding more clips consistently.  Only like 15% of my videos ever sell.

For some reason POND5 is really quiet. Never seen it like this...

Might be the lack of demand, more competition, oversaturation or the quality. Mind to share one or more videos for a dose of constructive criticism?

Same here, Until April it was extremely good, May was ok, but since June, sales has become extremely rare there. From 12-18 sales per month I am stuck with 3-4 sales now. Same is the case with SS as well.

June was my BME on Pond5. At this rate, August will be my worst month since April 2015!

Yea 50 videos is really small. I have an even smaller video portfolio with about 35 clips. Out of those 35 videos, I have sold 3 which I think is a respectable ratio. Of course I plan to upload much, much more.
