I'm kind of sad right now. My weekly earnings should be higher (actually much higher than yours right now) - but... sadly the last few months have been very low. Quite concerning, don't know why. But good job. Now I need to figure out how to get my earnings not only back where they should be, but improving significantly.

Thanks, since I started to create and upload almost only videos, my earnings have increased. For the images I take a couple of frames of my videos and upload them as is.

Yes, it's odd. I do videos as well in addition to images but my sales have gone down, which makes no sense. How many videos to you have?

I have about 2100 videos (motion graphics) and 6000 images.

My sales are gone down from 15/20 videos every month to almost 0 on Pond5, from may 2024, I don't know why, seems that my portfolio is hidden somewhere...

Yes, my Pond5 sales about 2 years ago dropped by about 90%. Then with the new "good news" from them about stealing another 25%, dropped (in addition to their "good news") about another 50%.

For adobe, its concerning - this last week has been about 1/5th of what my sales normally would be. Quite concerning.

I think they simply stopped advertising pond5 and run it via shutterstock somehow.

This!

Always last, but here we are!

I don't think you're last. How's Injustice For All end up this week? He's a trooper with creating content but going by his recent posts is struggling with sales.

Had a slower week this week myself both in terms of downloads and earnings...

He and I are neck and neck, almost tied! Well, it seems this week went better for me than many others. At least!

i think you won the race last week,for me only 7 sales!

but now I want to forget this May which was the worst month in years.

This month started off better already,with a video sale (real),I hope to leave behind this terrible start to the year! 

so i stopped uploading photos after de rejection madness. and for the last 2-3 weeks i've been uploading only videos, which have a better approval rate. so i'm seeing my rank/sales improving again. maybe the low approval rate i had during the rejection roulette time made me drop from ranks 1500-2000 to around 4000. and now i'm back at 2900 with 22 sales today. videos port still with only 600 files, but it is helping the photos to sell again i think.

I think I've just lost a further 9 or so files on Adobe port. Still have old files waiting to be reviewed but no just go after the accepted files instead and take them out. These agencies can't criticise Trump for his apparent policy madness when they are just as BS crazy themselves.

And a further 8 + 14 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 6 + 9 contents (just updating this each time i see a drop - don't know if its photos or videos) just gone now. Adobe's free collection is over (I didn't participate) and now their razor gangs are out on a rampage to tear up ports. 

Oh that's right, nearly forgot... gotta make room for......
