Title: VideoBlocks sales peaked last year and came down this year. what.
Post by: helloitsme on March 29, 2016, 22:59
February and this month has been much slower than previous few months.  I wonder if they are cooling down now.  How's everybody's sales over there for the last few months?

Last 3 months (number of sales): 3, 12, 5. This months: 4
It's somehow random

Considering the current review times it looks like that they are getting so much more content than last year that obviously it is diluting our sales.

Can you share your portfolio size?

Same here. I guess their search could be favoring new authors, or new clips. Who knows.

They must be tweaking things on search. I had 10 sales in Sept 2015, zip in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, then 10 in Feb, Zip in March. That is just plain fabricated, not a natural low and high.

My portfolio went live on the about the 15th of February. Had two sales in Feb, two sales in March. Hoped it might have been four sales in March, but I guess Easter doesn't help. My two March sales were in the first 11 days of the month.

I sometimes wonder about the irregularity too.  lol.

Someone should buy their own stock, too see if the sale gets reported.

As for sales, I can't see any down or upward trend hidden in the irregularities. But the irregularities themselves are not more or less irregular than say P5.

That's a fairly reasonable portfolio size. I would think you would have more sales
