Hey Guys,

I'm going to start (or I guess I already started) posting my stats for microstock video sales across the sites that I upload to.  I know there is a lot of information out there about microstock photo sales and sites, but there isn't much about video, so here's what I got...

This is my first post (for Jan. 2009)  I plan on being more in depth with each month (depending on my school and work schedule - ugh, I need about 5-6 more hours in a day).

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Nice graphs!

Glad to see after spending so long uploading HD clips, they are buying HD clips not just lots of small web size ones

A couple of questions

Did you submit videos to StockXpert? if so did you ever sell any?

Did you submit Video to Fotolia? Did you ever have any reviewed?

I wonder if Fotolia are going to implement the contributor percentage reduction to video submitters as well?

I used to submit to StockXpert, but never really had many sales and pulled my portfolio at the end of July 08 (not because of no sales, but because of other stuff going on with the site). 

I am still in the process of uploading to Fotolia...my problem has been that I upload and the videos never appear anywhere (other than 1 that made it though).  I tried again this morning and it looks like the FTP for video is finally working.  The 6 I uploaded are showing up for keywording. And no - the one I was able to get online weeks ago has still not been reviewed  :(

I was also wondering about the Fotolia contributor percentage reduction being passed off to the video as well.  I would hope that they wouldn't being that video is such a new area for them, but then again, I dont understand most of the stuff they do anyway, so I guess it will be a hurry up and wait to see - hahah.

yeah nice to see some information on this.

I have uploaded my feeble few videos to shutterstock, istock and pond5 and my one single sale so far has come from Pond5 - I see that is in line with your stats :)  Oh wait, I did get a $2.50 sale on shutterstock :(

Hopefully I can get more video online this year.

and how many videos do you have online vs how many images?
