Title: Some experience advice
Post by: Faustvasea on March 15, 2024, 06:52
Hi again. I have sign up with Motion elements and Pixta. I would like to ask whenever it's good to upload on them or no. I requested account deletion for Vecteezy as 1pence per download it's piss taking. Plus they will still use one more 1 year my files.

Very low sales on Motion Elements, and my Advice is too Stop working with Pixta, they are paying much lesser royalties than that they mentioned in their website, for more information :

Glad that I haven't started yet to upload on pixta. Is it worth uploading on Motion Elements at all?

I don't know how it performing for others...

I only upload videos, made $550 in last 3.5 years. it was good at the beginning, and only got one sale in in last 15 months, and received my last payout in the month of November 2022.

Thanks, seems like a dead agency to me. Have you ever heard about indivstock ?

If you agree to sell videos by subscription, it might make sense. But this stock is more focused on animation.

I heard the name, but I don't cared much, as mostly I upload only videos, and it seems that site not selling videos.

I think I will pass it and focus on couple of agencies only.

if you started a couple of years ago or less,don't waste time with all these smaller agencies,consider that all your content is at the mercy of thieves and copycats,so I don't know how much it's worth having your content on display for thieves if the agency doesn't pay,consider this too,so it's better that you focus on a few,even just one agency,I choose Adobe.

I used to upload to 12 agencies when I started,but unfortunately today in my opinion,it's better to choose the best one and that's it,then it depends,if you also make a lot of videos,there are still valid alternatives,few,very few,but they are there.

To be honest, I'm really regretting uploading my content on some agencies
