Title: Agencies worth uploading nowdays?
Post by: Stephan on June 01, 2016, 17:40
Is there any Poll like the one on the right only for video?

I am looking if there is any agency worth uploading where I am not yet a contributor.

At the moment I have at least 30 downloads per month at following agencies:

P5
iStock
SS
VB
Dissolve
Fotolia

0-5 dowloads:
MotionElements
DepositPhotos

30 at each one? 180 total? That's really good!

I think you've already found the ones with good traffic, but if you sell that much you might have some luck at some of the other less known sites. But most are not worth the time it takes to upload all that video...

For me the list is the same. Minus iStock because of a clash between their ultra low commissions and my self respect.

The cynicism is strong with this one.

Any news about this topic? Do you see any changes at agencies?

Any new came on the market worth trying?
How would you rate agencies on the right regarding just VIDEO?

Envato?
123RF?
Dreamstine?

What is VB?

123RF and Dreamstime, I make about $100 a year on video. Each. That's motion graphics though, I find motion graphics do a lot better than standard 'video'. VideoHive...I make several times that a month, but if you upload there (even though you might make a lot of money), you will be contributing to the downfall of stock marketplaces, you will lose all self respect and become a shadow of your former self, you will be shunned from society for your sinful ways, and it's quite possible you will bring about the end of the world as we know it. Something to keep in mind.

VB is VideoBlocks.

I have the same list with the addition of Nimia.  I don't get much sales there but they have other benefits for uploading... File storage and website embedding.  Considering trying video on 123RF since my photo sales have been increasing there.  Anyone successful with video on 123RF?

My video uploads have been waiting 6 months for inspection at 123rf.. so no luck there.

Our analysis (http://video-stock.org/best-stock-video-agencies-for-footage-sales/) show that only Shutterstock, Pond5, Dissolve and Fotolia are worth the time per earnings. While we avoid dumping practices of other agencies (http://video-stock.org/worst-enemy-in-stock-video-industry-are-contributors-themselves/) for our long term income. We are even slowly dumping istockphoto (http://video-stock.org/contributors-leaving-istockphoto-getty-images-is-for-the-best-of-whole-stock-industry/) for their worse contributor share.

3 out of the last 6 months Videoblocks have outsold both SS and P5 for me :)
