Do you have any downloads on xmas day so far? Few, Many, a Lot?
-
Yes, few, but yes.
-
0 yesterday, 1 today.
-
Couple of pictures of Christmas tree and one non-Christmas video :)
-
Fairly decent day all things considered.
-
I wish I had at least (1) download so I can know that Santa is looking out for me.
-
a couple today, 0 on Christmas eve, weird
-
DT 5 downloads and 1 download from pond5, surprise !!! ;D ;D
-
6 on Christmas Eve, 3 on Christmas day, only two today, so far. One thing to note... those were all from Videohive, none from anywhere else. Although that's not conclusive proof... it does reinforce my opinion that Envato caters to a different market, which can bring you revenue in addition to the 'big boys'.
I mean, those that can afford to drop $50 to $100 per clip, sometimes on multiple clips, are usually agencies or production houses, all of which would likely be closed Christmas day. Freelancers and one man bands are more likely to be working away, as and when they need to.
I appreciate that the majority of the world may not celebrate Christmas, or be closed on Christmas day, but a very large percentage of all my sales come from countries where Christmas day is a public holiday. Just so you know!

one yesterday ;D
-
One only on Christmas Eve and two on Christmas day. A year with these two days on other days than Saturday and Sunday will hopeful give an other result regarding the distribution of religions across the world.
-

D*mn straight... if it's good enough for Pepsi, it's good enough for me! Take Gareth Edwards, director of Rogue One for example. It cost millions of dollars and months of his life to make that one film, and him and the studio are there, happily dishing out single viewing licenses for around $10 a go.
I mean you're right... it's obvious the guy just doesn't value his work, he's contributing to the downfall of cinema, the sustainability of the industry, and he's probably sat at home now... weeping in abject poverty. For crying out loud, It's 3D and probably somewhere between 2 and 4K as well... he could have got $199 a go for that at Shutterstock. When will they learn?!
