Title: Fotolia showing clear sign of growth from Adobestock video sales now this year!
Post by: helloitsme on March 24, 2016, 18:10
Finally it's happening based on my sales growth this year.  I hope this growth will continue for a while for Fotolia/Adobestock video sales.  Anybody else seeing the similar growth there?  I'm seeing 4 straight months of rapid growth which I've never seen from Fotolia.  It had been up and down slow growth before.

Now that pond5 is actively driving producers away, it would be great to see growth on Adobe.

But I think unless they add editorial, they will never have growth rates like Shutterstock.

However, they really have an opportunity because pond5 is treating people badly.

My sales with Fotolia are doing a lot better than SS.  FT is my 2nd venue now.  Still a ways behind my best selling venue but my portfolio on FT is much smaller.

The other benefit for me of FT is that the images that are accepted the most are the ones I most like to shoot whereas with SS I find myself going for something less exciting to me as a photographer.

That's amazing.  Still far behind SS and P5.

That's right.  They don't take any editorial footage/photos.

Because of all the sites combined not only Fotolia.

ok, also not what i meant, i meant, do you see a decline at ss which is compensated by adobe earnings or are your ss earnings the same/up and your adobe earnings go up as well? basically, do you make more money between adobe and ss or is the money between the 2 agencies the same now? i am trying to figure out if adobe is taking earnings from other sites.

Sales on all other sites keep increasing as I keep adding new contents.  Only the VideoBlocks' growth kind of stopped for a month or two now.

How's yours?

Is it bad that sales on every sites going up like universe expanding?

I shouldn't have wasted my time trying to answer your question.  Bye Bye.
