Title: Video sales evaporated since beginning of the year
Post by: StockStudio on January 13, 2023, 11:24

I'm selling video pretty much in all major agencies.
And all across the board almost no sales this January so far.

Anyone else encountered this??

January is probably the worst month for the majority of creators. I anticipate not selling as much this time every year.

Not one sale on Pond5 in 30 days here. Just 1 small video sale on Adobe and 7 on Shutter. January is by far my slowest month of the year typically with a poor RPD.


ETA nothing like a little complaining to produce results (whoever said complaining achieves nothing?)  ;D

So 3 downloads on Pond5 at $18 each for HD files. Not too shabby for a January sale. This incidentally puts my overall January 2023 ahead of January 2022 - noting January 2022 was my worst performing month of the year. Nonetheless, I am ahead of last year (to date) and it's only halfway through the month.

I did find it a bit peculiar too, but then looked @ some historical trends and it does seem that right at the beginning of january there is usually a bit of a big drop, but then it picks up later.

Same here. Poor sales this beginning 2023. Sad!
