Title: Is it worth being patient with 123RF?
Post by: Wrighty on January 23, 2017, 08:19

I’ve been at this for about five months and had decent stock footage sales on top tier sites. But I’m yet to have a single sale on 123RF.

What are your experiences out there with footage sales on 123RF? and how long do most of you go without sales before deciding to no longer upload content to a site?

For stock footage, no.  I have over 1,000 videos there and rarely get a sale. Maybe I don't have the right content for the customers they target, but it is VERY rare I get a sale.

Thanks for the info - I’ll probably just leave my current stuff up there and not bother in the future, unless I start getting bites.

Same for me.
Sales of video seem to be very slooowww. Also it takes forever to get the files reviewed.
I believe I will keep uploading for another few months.
When an agency is incredibly slow in reviews I take it as a big worry about their financial health
