The answer you've been looking for ($49 vs $79)
increasingdifficulty:
Has anyone ever experienced a $79 purchase? I didn't think so. And you're just assuming 100% of all buyers buy a membership?
Nope.
If a customer buys a clip without becoming a member, they pay $79, but you still only get $49 (-PayPal).
Nothing wrong with that, but now I know that they pocket the extra $30 if they don't get a new member. Their business model makes a little more sense.
Brightontl:
I find VB incredibly fishy.
I don't believe a single moment that the sales they show me are real. But I do get some money from them every month, so until now I have kept uploading.
Still, there is something very weird going on with them
Justanotherphotographer:
If this is true their marketing is incredibly misleading! They say all over get 100%
Brightontl:
I have never experienced a $79 purchase.
I have never experienced a 4k sale (I do get the occasional one elsewhere)
I have always sold 2 files per month for two years, every single month. Same when I had 60 files and now with over 2.000
My best month was the first one: 4 sales with about 30 files on, sort of welcome aboard pack
I have never sold one file more than once (opposite to other agencies, where sales tend to concentrate on best sellers)
The files I sell at VB are always the worst ones, the ones I am ashamed of, or uploaded by mistake
Very very strange place, if you ask me
