Title: New price management for Revostock
Post by: PinHead on October 07, 2014, 05:58
I'm a video producer to Revo with over 1700 video files and with no sale in two months...
My current price management : HD1080 = 50$; HD720=40$; SD=35$; LWR=30$; SWR=30$...
Expect tips for a new price management ....thank u

Your pricing is in line with recent discussions on MSG. The common theme is that sales are VERY FEW. I haven't had any in 6 months with 200 videos, another chap has not had a sale in 6 months with 700 videos. Now you come in here and are another data point that supports the "REVOSTOCK is DYING (or dead) side of the fence.

I didn't have any sales on Revo in Sep (with a port of about 450 files), but I did have sales in each of the preceding 4 months, including two months with 3 sales each, so I wouldn't say they are dead.

I think they are doing their best to climb out of the deep hole that that patent troll buried them in. The new site changes are a great start, but only time will tell whether or not they can lure more buyers in. I certainly wish them well, because we need more sites that treat contributors fairly, not fewer. (Ignoring the fact that they still owe me money from last year ....  ;D) ETA: Paid!  :)

I agree with Mantis; your pricing seems fine. That isn't the problem.

I'm also new in Revostock, less than one year. Very nice people but very few sales.
I tried to look for some clips to buy and i find a lot of keywording spam.
I was looking for some "Rome Colosseum Timelapse" and the results were many timelapses of any kind and many arenas all over the world.
So it is diffcult to buy footage there.
Not a big collection like SS, POND5 and IS and more complicate to find what you are looking for.
