Congrats!
But isn't $191 only about 5% of $4000? I was thinking royalties for contributors were above 15%. But I don't do video, so maybe 5% is standard?

Heeeeeeeee..... :D  :)  ;) ......Cathy.....4K refers to the Video resolution, not the sales price. The predecessor was HD.

4K = 4096 x 2304 / 2160
UHD = 3840 x 2160
Full HD = 1920 x 1080

Big congrats!

I've yet to sell a 4K video (as 4K) on VB. In fact, it's been over 3 months without a single sale of any kind there; quite disappointing after the great start.

VB is dying, that model was never going to succeed

People are nice today!

I usually get cynical and some of them hostile and angry reaction comments.

 It's all good.

No wasn't joking, just ignorant about video. Thanks for lesson, Tror.  :) Judging by the other comments from those who know, sounds like you did well. So, again, congrats!

PS. Boy do i feel stupid.  :-[

My sales have been increasing.  December was a little slow due to holiday season, but it's back on track this month it seems.  Hopefully, the sales will increase again after short month of February.

Great for you. Glad to hear someone is making it work. For me, dead.

I started there on last October. I had 1 sale on November and nothing since then. Good to hear that it is still alive!

Sales are very sporadic. VB do many email campaigns, I'm wandering if the sales are coinsiding with those.

It doesn't look as a campaign, most of my sold clips are related so it's basically the same buyer, that's why sales are pure luck

I'm just a contributor to the VideoBlocks just like any others here.  I'm sorry if your sales there stopped.  Maybe other big sellers are joining there and took your sales.
