Hi,

i am just wondering where do you sell your videos? What are good places for selling? I am in microstock for about 2 years now, and have portfolio of ~400 clips. Not that much for 2 years in this, but time is huge resource here. This is side income for me (which i want to expand but in the right places).

So, i have tried:


* https://www.shutterstock.com/video/gallery/3053657?language=en - sales are ok, i get 2-3 sales a month
* https://www.pond5.com/artist/skysense#1/2063 - sales are ok, i get 2-3 sales a month
* Fotolia - not so ok, i get very rare sales
* VideoBlocks - not so ok, rare
* MotionElements - only one sale for ~1year
* DreamsTime - not good, stopped uploading
* I also tried ClipCanvas and 123RF at the beggining, but big 0 on both, stopped both sites long time ago
Are 2-3 on SS and P5 each for a month small amount of sales for ~400 clips?

With VB and ME i get me good return if they sell, but i don't want to waste time with ME for example if it will not sell. I do have batches of ~15GB to upload on 4Mbps, and i have tons of video to prepare for stock. Just looking for the right way to direct energy and time spent on this.
I earn my living by filming with drones, so bulk of my portfolio are aerial shots.

Feel free to comment portfolio as well :)

The impossible question that always lives on.  :D

400 New York, LA, London, Rio and Alaskan mountains helicopter aerials shot on a RED can probably yield 400 sales on each site per month.

400 average landscapes and snapshot type clips that aren't too exciting will probably yield 0-10.

You're already selling at the big sites that are worth it and have consistent sales, but content and/or keywording might need improvement.

There is also Dissolve, but I don't know how they are doing these days as I haven't used them myself.

Thank you for sharing.
I'm selling in Pond 5 from few years ago. There I uploaded about 400 videos.
For about six months ago I decided to try my luck in Videoblocks (recently with a new name Storyblocks), Motion Elements, Shutterstock, Canstockphoto, Pixta, and Clipcanvas.
During these 6 months I have 8 sold videos via Pond5 and 1 via Videoblocks.
I'm still not ready to compare, because it went a long enough period of time. But I've already started to build my opinion about these sites.
 Unfortunately Videoblocks and Shutterstock not suported statistics and I do not know if there is interest  to my videos.
 Please tell us more about Clipcanvas. When did you use it? When you quit? For now they are  making changes and having a lot of bugs, but if that's be fix, it might be a good site.  They have good stats and this is important to me.
