Title: VB and Dissolve heading south
Post by: pkphotos on January 11, 2016, 14:47
I'm getting strong sales from SS and P5 this month, meanwhile VB and Dissolve seem to be heading south for a couple of months now. Is their honeymoon period over. I'm not inspired to upload anything to them at the moment, especially considering their pricing strategies.

I am having slow video sales across all sites. I have closed my Dissolve account and haven't seen a VB sale since I got one in Nov. I'll wait six more months and then close VB if things don't pick up. But SS is dead for me, completely. Had 1 sale on P5 this month. Everything for me is really slow right now, stills and video. I suspect there is a slow bullwhip for after the new year and we will start seeing some normality (whatever that is) week four of Jan.

Wow, absolutely identical for me. And the two months before Nov were my best on VB (admittedly that isn't saying much, but still much better than one or none).

But SS is dead for me, completely. Had 1 sale on P5 this month.
Pretty similar for me, again. Two sales on each, but that's just barely better than none.

Video only ~1500 clips:
super slow month at SS: 3 sales only (last month was my BME: 43 sales)
VB 3 sales: not bad (last month 2 only)
P5 a bit slow : 8 sales

if SS gets better it will rescue the month for me

As for the videos:

SS, 550 files, 2 sales this month so far
P5, 450 files, no sales this month
VB, 250 files, first and last sale was on November. Nothing since then.

Januari is always one of the slower months.

Dissolve is doing well for me, 3rd dollar wise, not far behind P5 in 2015. YMMV.
