Author Topic: Does anyone get sales from Motionelements.com? (Read 7077 times)

I read something somewhere that Motionelements is worth uploading to a while back. About 6 months ago I uploaded about 85 of my best clips and haven't had 1 sale yet. Is this similar to other contributors experiences or should I add more and stick with them?

I sold one with only a few uploads. I see some people reporting success with them and others saying they are a waste of time but really there's only one way for us to find out. I will be uploading when I get the time.

I think many will be uploading there now that sales have dropped over at Pond 5.

Wish their tagging and title process was easier. It's a lot of steps for each file to put the finishing touches on the metadata I think.

The site looks nice, they say they are aimed at the Asian market but anyone can search for and buy content so no reason why sales shouldn't happen there. Worth a solid try I think.

Yeah, it's really slow compared to SS, but I find it faster than Pond5 at least.

There are some useful boxes to check like "Loopable", "Timelapse" and "Slow motion" that can be used in search. Of course you don't NEED to fill in everything.

I've had between 0 and 5 sales there a month, usually one or two though. Nothing this month so far. I've got 73 videos in my portfolio, about 15 of which were just uploaded this week.

I have uploaded 25 files, no sales so far.

Their upload system is very, very slow, it takes ages to have my files transferred.

But there is only one way to find out how much money can be made there...

How do you find the process of adding titles there? I can find a way to add the keywords to multiple files but the titles it seems it wants me to click and open each file and edit the title? I hope not!

Thanks for the feedback. I uploaded i think about 80 of my better clips thinking something would sell by now. I only have about 600 total so maybe I'll keep at it.
