After quick search I see there is no post regarding Naturefootage.com.
I thought I would write this quick post to others who may be thinking about uploading content to the site.
Over the last few months I have been uploading my HD and 4K wildlife footage which I love shooting, to Naturefootage.com. In that time I have uploaded just over 2400 files of various animal subjects from all over the world. The contributor dashboard section of Naturefootage.com gives you some basic stats like 'View Count' and a 'Preview Download' counter but no sales counter. Shortly after I began uploading I noticed that the view count and preview download count was rocketing with over 30 preview downloads a day. Naturefootage pays quarterly, as you can imagine I though wow I have got to be on to something and I excitedly waited for the payment date. In one quarter I had over 10,000 views and 3000 preview downloads, which I though has got to be worth something. When I buy stock for my own projects I may test a preview download but I pretty much always go with it so I though even if only 10% or 1% of the preview downloads translated to sales I would be happy.
The end of the quarterly payment date came and went, I waited a few weeks then decided to send an email to follow up. I received a reply saying that I had no licensing sales. I could not believe it, from 3200 preview downloads not a single sale.
To rap this up, if you are thinking of contributing to Naturefootage.com do not bother, it will be a massive waste of time.
