Selling Video sites?

(1/7) > >>

velocicarpo:
Hi all,

Since I am getting more and more into Video, maybe the more experienced in this field can recommend me _selling_ video sites. So far I am with:

- Fotolia (low sales)
- Pond5 (very good sales)
- Revostock (every now and then)
- Shutterstock (average)
- Canstock (nothing)

Thanks :-)

I think your assessment on the site are about right.  I stopped uploading to istock, since I have issues with their upload process and they took forever to review the clips, so I dropped them.  Clip canvas is another site that I rank with Revostock.  Fotolia, sells my clips way too cheap and I may pull them from there for that reason.  I do like the options of setting my own prices on pond5, but they could stand to be more selective on what they take.

I'm not uploading to anymore sites, since unlike photos, video takes a long time to upload and there is no exif data like photos, so I have to re-enter all my keywords etc.  I'll probably just focus on 2-3 sites for video.

Pond5 is way ahead of the other sites for me.  I don't use FT for video, they need to raise their prices and the commission is too low for the time it takes to u.pload.

I like Revostock but sales are infrequent.  SS also has less sales than Pond5 but hopefully they will get serious with video in the future.  Sold a few clips with ClipCanvas and CanStockPhoto.

I gave up on istock, 15% commissions, low sales and a horrible upload procedure took away any reason to use them.

Hopefully alamy will launch their video site soon and 123RF might be worth using.

Thanks for all the responses...I think I`ll add Clipcanvas and then wait how things are going...

I wonder why Dreamstime doesn`t have Video?
